Handyman tips for Barrington Hills homes
Barrington Hills was incorporated in 1957 by residents who wanted to keep the area rural, and the Village has kept five-acre minimum zoning. The Riding Club, founded in 1937, maintains a trail system through the village, and landowners let members ride across their property. The Village does not provide water or sewer service, and most homes have private wells and septic systems. The Village advises periodic inspection of well tanks and pumps and septic pumping about every three years. On lots this size, upkeep reaches past the main house to detached garages and outbuildings. We handle carpentry, doors, painting, gutters, caulking and weatherproofing, and assembly across the whole property. Well, septic and plumbing work goes to licensed specialists.

Quick answers
Can you cover a large Barrington Hills property in one visit?
Yes, if you send the full list first. Barrington Hills keeps five-acre minimum zoning, so jobs are often spread across a main house, detached garages and outbuildings. We handle carpentry, doors, painting, gutters, caulking, weatherproofing and assembly. Text photos of each building and task to (847) 877-1877 so the visit can be planned as one trip.
Do you service wells or septic systems in Barrington Hills?
No. Most Barrington Hills homes rely on private wells and septic systems because the Village does not provide water or sewer service. The Village recommends annual water testing, periodic inspection of well tanks and pumps, and septic pumping about every three years. Those jobs belong with licensed well, septic and plumbing professionals.
Do you serve all of Barrington Hills (60010)?

Who handles electrical and plumbing work in Barrington Hills?
Licensed independent contractors handle plumbing, electrical and roofing. The Village's building permit application asks for every contractor's name, address, phone and license number, including the plumber's license number where shown, before a permit is issued. We handle the handyman work that comes before and after those trades, such as patching, painting and trim.
Does a Barrington Hills fence need a permit?
No building permit is needed to install a fence, according to the Village, but height limits apply. Fences can be solid up to 6 feet above natural grade, and up to 8 feet where the portion between 6 and 8 feet is at least 50 percent open. Call the Building Department at 847-551-3003 to confirm.
Do decks and patios need a permit in Barrington Hills?
Yes. Patios and decks are on the Village's list of common projects that need a building permit. The Village says that list is not complete and recommends asking before starting any project. The Building Department is at 847-551-3003, open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Where do I send permit applications in Barrington Hills?
Applications are submitted digitally to build@vbhil.gov, according to the Village's permit forms. For questions about whether a detached garage or outbuilding project needs one, call the Building Department at 847-551-3003 before starting work.
How do I book a handyman visit on a large Barrington Hills property?
Text photos to (847) 877-1877 with the address, a list of every task, and which building each one is in. That lets us tell you what is handyman work and what needs a licensed independent contractor, such as plumbing, electrical or roofing.

What our customers say
Ed was excellent to work with — professional, skilled, patient, and just genuinely helpful. He installed a mantel, mounted my steer horns, helped place artwork, and even assisted with swapping out a TV, all while being mindful of my budget and the hourly scope. Everything was done with care and precision, and the finished wall looks amazing. What I especially appreciated was that he didn’t just do the work - he shared helpful tips (like a painter’s tape trick for hanging my remaining gallery pieces myself), which I really valued as a homeowner. He took pride in getting things right, communicated clearly, and even stayed a little longer to make sure everything was done well. Reliable, knowledgeable, respectful, and a pleasure to work with. I’d absolutely recommend ED and and would gladly request him again
...completed some much needed repairs around our garage door frame as well as the front door to our home. It required some heavy carpentry work. The completed job looked much better than the original and he did not cut corners on the products used either. Extremely skilled, a strategic problem solver, and a craftsman quality finish was far more than what I expected to get — in addition to very friendly, knowledgeable, and far beyond competent service A++ will use again in the future and recommend to anyone seeing repairs.
...was great with communication and service. He installed shower curtain rods for us and fixed our install mishap. He ensured to ask our thoughts and preferences along the way. Very professional and fairly priced. Highly recommend !
Consultation went great. Worked out some details to give a bigger picture and work to be started soon Update on completion. Installation went amazing. Looks exactly how I wanted it to look and the tech Chris was amazing and willing to do anything I was asking. Any issues he was willing to work with me on and made the process pleasant. Thanks again.
We had the front door repainted both inside and out, and the weather stripping replaced. I was happy with their service and feel they were very honest and professional.
