About

A handyman crew built for Chicago bungalows

We started in Edison Park because that's where we live. Today we're the crew our neighbors call first — and the one their friends in Norwood Park and Park Ridge call second.

Bungalow Crew was started by a small group of tradespeople who all owned (or renovated) Chicago bungalows of their own. We kept getting asked the same question by neighbors: "Do you know a handyman who actually shows up?" Eventually we decided to be that handyman.

We focus on the kinds of repairs and small projects that most contractors won't take and most one-person handymen aren't equipped for: drywall and plaster patches, TV mounting, door and window adjustments, interior painting, and furniture assembly. When a job needs a licensed electrician or plumber, we bring in someone from our vetted sub network — same insurance, same standards, no chasing down a stranger off the internet.

We're a small team on purpose. It means the person who answers the phone is usually the person doing the work, and we keep our schedule tight enough to actually show up when we say we will.
