Handyman Memberships
Handyman memberships are the alternative to calling four different one-off pros each season — annual programs that bank handyman labor against your house on a schedule that actually runs. Handis offers three memberships sized to how Seattle homeowners actually use a handyman across a year — monthly (two to three hours every month, same tech, hours roll forward), honey-do (a quarterly four-hour punch-list sweep against the written list on the fridge), and priority-response (24-hour front-of-line scheduling for the stuff that cannot wait until next month). All three from $600 a year up to $2,200 for the largest priority-response tier. Member labor rate on add-on work, no trip charge on membership visits, same vetted handyman every time.
Memberships
What Handis Handyman Memberships Cover
A handyman membership is recurring residential labor on a banked-hour basis — the same vetted tech showing up on a predictable schedule against a list you keep adding to, rather than four separate one-off calls each season to four different pros. Handis offers three membership tracks sized to three different usage patterns most Seattle homeowners actually have. All three carry the same core benefits — member labor rate (lower than the public per-hour) on any add-on work, no per-visit trip charge while the membership is active, the same vetted handyman year over year, and a 30-day workmanship guarantee on every item touched. Membership scope is handyman scope — gas, hardwired electrical, in-wall plumbing supply or drain, structural framing, and roof replacement route to a licensed Washington L&I contractor.
Monthly Handyman Membership
Two to three hours of handyman labor every month against your running list — picture hanging, anti-tip anchors, caulk seam refresh, sticky door planing, cabinet pull rows, smoke detector swaps, the small stuff that piles up. Hours roll forward when you skip a month (capped at 90 days), same tech every visit, member labor rate on anything that runs over the booked hours. From $600 a year for two hours a month on a standard home.

Honey-Do Membership
Four hours every quarter — four scheduled visits a year against the written list on the fridge that nobody else will work end-to-end in one sitting. The tech sequences the list around dry time (patches first, doors next, hardware after, mount and caulk at the end) and works it until the block closes. Right for the household where the list grows but never gets all-at-once attention. From $600 a year for four quarterly four-hour blocks on a standard home.

Priority-Response Membership
24-hour front-of-line scheduling for residential repairs that cannot wait two weeks for the regular queue — the front door that will not latch, the dishwasher that just leaked, the toilet that will not flush, the shelf that pulled out of the wall. Members get bumped ahead of the standard schedule and dispatched within one business day. Same tech you have used before whenever the schedule allows. From $800 a year for the standard tier.

Handyman Memberships Pricing
Annual membership pricing depends on home size, the program selected, and any add-ons (multi-property coverage, larger banked hours, premium priority tiers). Members pay a discounted member labor rate on add-on work and skip the per-visit trip charge while the membership is active. Each child page lists detailed pricing for that membership.

Why Seattle Homeowners Book a Handis Handyman Membership
A membership only pays back when the visits actually happen, the hours actually get used, and the tech actually carries the notes forward. Most subscription pitches load the brochure with line items nobody ever requests and skip the boring work that prevents the real failures — the dresser without an anti-tip, the toilet seat that has been wobbling for six months, the smoke detector at the ten-year mark. Our memberships do the opposite — short, specific, sized to how the house actually uses small handyman work across a year. The same tech every visit, with last visit's notes already open before he knocks.
Same tech every visit, notes that carry forward
Each membership customer gets assigned a primary handyman who runs the recurring visits and carries notes from one visit to the next. The picture rail you flagged in March is open on his tablet in April. The wobbly bookshelf you mentioned but never got around to is on the running list. If the primary is out (vacation, illness, a backlog spike) a backup runs the visit with the notes in hand, and the primary takes the next one. Most members keep the same tech for years.
Banked hours, no per-visit trip charge, member labor rate on add-ons
Hours bank against the membership and roll forward when a month or quarter slips (capped at 90 days so unused balance does not stack indefinitely). No per-visit trip charge while the membership is active — the trip cost is in the annual rate, not added to every visit. Member labor rate (lower than the public per-hour) applies to any add-on work the tech does past the booked hours, with your sign-off before the rate clock starts.
Honest scope — handyman work only, contractor handoff when needed
Membership visits cover handyman scope only — mounting and hanging, small drywall and patch repairs, caulk and weatherstrip, door planing and hardware, cabinet pulls, anti-tip, smoke and CO detectors, light fixture swaps on existing wiring, faucet aerators and toilet seats. Anything inside a wall on a supply or drain line, gas appliances, hardwired electrical, new 120V or 240V circuits, roof replacement, structural framing, or work requiring a permit routes to a licensed Washington L&I contractor — we name the issue in the visit notes and recommend who to call, then come back for the finish work after their rough-in.
One-year terms, no early-termination fee, no auto-renewal trap
Memberships run twelve months from the start date and bill once a year. If you cancel mid-year you keep using any banked hours and benefits through the paid period — no proration penalty, no early-termination fee, just no auto-renewal. We do not lock anyone into a contract that outlives the work.
Insured, background-checked, 30-day workmanship guarantee
Every Handis handyman carries liability insurance and has cleared a background screening before the first visit. The 30-day workmanship guarantee applies to every item touched during a membership visit — a mount that shifts, a patch that cracks, a caulk seam that pulls, an anchor that backs out, a door that starts dragging again because of how we set it. We come back and fix it at no extra charge.
Estimate
Tell us the home size and rough age, which membership track you are thinking about (monthly, honey-do, priority-response), how much small handyman work the house actually uses across a year, and any current items on the list — sticky doors, anti-tip needs, picture rail, caulk seams, smoke detectors. We send a clear annual estimate.
What Our Customers Say
Recent handyman membership reviews from verified Seattle-area customers.
Monthly membership for two years now — two hours a month, same tech every time. He knows the house better than the home inspector did. Last visit he replaced two cabinet pulls in the kitchen, anti-tip on the new bedroom dresser, and a smoke detector at the ten-year mark. The list never feels long because nothing piles up.
Honey-do membership for my parents' house. They are in their seventies and the list never gets shorter. Four hours a quarter, the same tech each time, the list lives in a shared note. Picture hung in the hallway, anti-tip on the bookshelf in the guest room, sticky kitchen drawer, three light bulbs in the vaulted ceiling, two grab bars in the bath. Mom calls him by his first name.
Priority-response membership saved us in February. Front door deadbolt sheared off on a Saturday morning, kids inside, lock would not throw. Texted the dispatcher at nine, technician was on the porch by eleven with a replacement and a temporary plate. Without the membership we would have been waiting until Tuesday on a regular booking.
Honey-do quarterly half-day on our older Wallingford bungalow. Plaster walls, original 1928 trim — the tech showed up with longer-shank toggle bolts that work in plaster over lath. Eight items on the list, all eight done, photo report at the end. The half-day-with-specialty tier is exactly right for an old Seattle house.
Monthly multi-property tier — main house in Ballard, rental in Greenwood. Same tech handles both. He keeps a running list for each address and we get a one-page summary each month. The rental never sits with a sticky lock or a chirping detector longer than four weeks. Tenants do not even have to ask.
