Helping Hand Studio · Chicago & Chicagoland
Fixed prices. Clean
work. Done when we said we'd be done.
One number before we start.
One team on your job.
Sergey – the guy
behind every quote
you get
I spent twenty years on other people's jobsites before starting Helping Hand Studio. What I kept seeing was the same thing over and over – homeowners getting billed by the hour, subs showing up they'd never met, and "a small extra" turning into a big surprise on the invoice.
So I built the company I wanted to hire. We give you one number before we start and we stick to it. Same crew every visit – no strangers rotating through your house. We leave your place cleaner than we found it. That's the whole thing.
— Sergey, Owner
