If you’ve got a running list of home repairs that never seem to get done, you’re not alone. Most homeowners put off small tasks—like patching drywall, adjusting doors, or clearing gutters—until they turn into something bigger.
Handyman packages offer a better way to stay on top of maintenance. Instead of waiting for problems or scrambling to find help, these plans give you regular access to trusted pros who can knock out small jobs on a schedule that works for you.
At Scherr, we design handyman packages for homes across Baltimore City, Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Howard, and Harford Counties. Here’s what to know.
What Is a Handyman Package?
A handyman package is a scheduled home maintenance plan that includes small repairs and routine tasks handled by a professional handyman. It’s built to keep your home in good working order without constant service calls.
Instead of hiring someone every time something breaks, you get a recurring plan that covers common jobs—grouped together and done regularly.
What’s Included in Scherr’s Handyman Packages?
Our packages cover the kinds of fixes most homeowners either put off or don’t have time for. Here’s what you can expect:
Routine Maintenance

We work with you to customize the list to fit your home and schedule.
How Often Do Handyman Packages Happen?
Most homeowners choose quarterly service (every three months), but packages can be adjusted based on what your house needs. Some prefer seasonal visits, while others opt for monthly help if their list is longer.
What Are the Benefits of a Handyman Package?
1. Stay Ahead of Repairs
Small problems don’t get worse when they’re handled early. A dripping faucet, a loose railing, or cracked grout—these are easy fixes when caught soon, and part of what we do on a regular visit.
2. Save Time and Stress
You won’t need to remember who to call, research availability, or take multiple days off for separate repairs. One appointment, one trusted team.
3. Get to Know Your House Better
Having the same crew visit regularly means they learn your home’s quirks—like how your basement door swells in summer, or where water collects after heavy rain.
4. Save Money
Bundling small tasks into one visit often costs less than separate service calls. You’ll also reduce the risk of costly repairs from neglect.
Who Should Use a Handyman Package?
Handyman packages are a smart choice for:
- Busy families who don’t have time for DIY
- Landlords maintaining one or more rental properties
- Seniors who want help staying independent in their home
- New homeowners looking to stay on top of regular upkeep
- Owners of older homes that need more frequent care
Can You Customize a Handyman Package?
Yes. Scherr builds every package based on your home and your priorities. You can choose:
- Visit frequency (monthly, quarterly, seasonally)
- Focus areas (interior, exterior, or both)
- Add-on services like light carpentry, seasonal prep, or outdoor help
We’ll meet with you, walk through the home, and design a package that actually fits how you live—not a one-size-fits-all list.
What Does a Handyman Visit Look Like?
Each visit is tailored to your home and the season. Here’s what a year of service might include:
Spring Visit
In the spring, we focus on recovery and prep. We’ll clean out gutters, re-seal outdoor faucets, and check exterior walkways for winter damage. Inside, we might patch drywall, re-caulk the kitchen sink, and tighten loose cabinet hardware. It’s a great time to reset and catch up on anything that winter left behind.
Summer Visit
Summer is about upkeep. We often adjust windows and doors that swell in the heat, inspect decks and patios for wear, and touch up exterior paint. We’ll also replace your HVAC filter and clear out the dryer vent—two things that help keep the house cooler and safer when the temperature climbs.
Fall Visit
As the weather turns, it’s time to prepare for colder months. We’ll winterize your outdoor spigots, check and replace worn weather stripping, and inspect the roofline and flashing for signs of wear. Clearing leaves from walkways and around drains is also part of keeping things safe and water moving away from the home.
Winter Visit
Winter visits focus on interior care and safety. We’ll test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, inspect the attic for moisture issues, and re-caulk bathroom fixtures that show signs of cracking. We also check the basement or lower levels for drafts, leaks, or anything that could become a bigger problem in cold weather.
Each visit is focused, practical, and helps keep your home in shape all year. And because we’re tracking progress over time, we know what to look for—before something slips through the cracks.
What Makes Scherr’s Handyman Packages Different?
We don’t outsource. We don’t rotate through crews. And we don’t pitch services you don’t need.
Scherr’s handyman team is local, experienced, and trained to handle everything from drywall to doorframes. We work in homes across Baltimore City, Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Howard, and Harford Counties. And because we’ve seen what can go wrong when maintenance is skipped, we build packages that actually help.
Are Handyman Packages Worth It?
For many homeowners, yes. The cost of not fixing things adds up—either in stress, time, or bigger repair bills later.
Handyman packages help keep your house running without having to chase after it.
How to Get Started
We’ll visit your home, talk through your priorities, and build a clear, no-pressure estimate. If it works for you, we’ll set the schedule and get started.
