Handyman services for seniors in Des Plaines, and Palatine and Wheeling townships

North West Housing Partnership Program is now offering handyman services to residents 60 and older living in Des Plaines, as well as Palatine and Wheeling townships.

Repairs are completed by insured and licensed handymen who have been vetted by the housing partnership. Projects handled include grab bar installation, gutter cleaning and window, sink and toilet repairs. Fees are $10, $20 or $30 an hour depending on the service type and household income. In certain cases, a fee may not apply, and emergency repair services are not available.

To learn more, and to apply for this program, email Michelle Hill at michellehill@nwhp.net or call the partnership from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at (847) 969-0561.

Other communities where handyman services have already been available include Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Mount Prospect, Palatine and Rolling Meadows. The nonprofit organization is based in Schaumburg.
