One-Time Home Services
Need Help With Just One Thing?
You don't need a membership to call us. Whether your parent needs a small repair taken care of, something around the house checked, a seasonal task completed, or simply an extra set of hands, our one-time home services give families a simple way to get help without committing to an ongoing plan.
Need help with the home but don't need a monthly plan? We're happy to help.
How It Works
A simple, three-step process
No contract, no pressure. Tell us what you need and we will take it from there.
- 1
Tell Us What You Need
Contact us and explain the task, problem, or concern. You do not need to know the exact service category.
- 2
We Review the Request
We confirm whether the request falls within our services and share pricing or any questions before scheduling.
- 3
We Take Care of It
We schedule the visit, complete the agreed-upon work, and let you know what was done.
For adult children arranging service for a parent, communication can happen with the family member arranging the service, so you stay informed even from a distance.

One-Time Home Check
Concerned about the condition of a parent's home?
If you don't have a specific repair in mind but want a general review, we can visit the home and look over common areas of concern.
- Entryways
- Steps and handrails
- Lighting
- Doors
- Windows
- Bathrooms
- Visible trip hazards
- Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
- HVAC filters
- Visible leaks
- Basic exterior conditions
- Minor maintenance concerns
What a home check is (and isn't)
This is a general visual home check designed to identify obvious maintenance and safety concerns. It helps the homeowner or family see what may be worth addressing.
It is not a licensed home inspection, a code inspection, or a professional evaluation, and we do not guarantee that every defect or safety issue will be identified. When a concern needs a licensed professional, we will say so.
This is also not a medical wellness check. We look at the home, not a person's health.
Request a Home CheckHelping From a Distance
Helping Mom or Dad From Across Town, or Across the Country
You don't always have to be there yourself. If you're helping manage a parent's home, you can contact us about the work that needs to be completed. We can coordinate the visit and keep you informed so you know what was addressed.
We will not enter another person's home or perform work without the homeowner's awareness and authorization. The request form lets you note your relationship, the homeowner's name, and who we should contact about the appointment.
Transparent Pricing
Clear about cost before work begins
One-time service pricing depends on the type of work, the time required, materials, and location. Tell us what you need and we'll explain the expected cost before work begins whenever practical.
We avoid hidden fees, surprise pricing, and misleading "starting at" numbers. You will not have to submit all of your information just to learn our basic pricing approach.
Materials
If materials or replacement items are needed, we'll communicate that before purchasing whenever practical. Material costs may be separate from labor unless otherwise stated.
Larger projects are quoted separately so the price reflects the actual work.
Quick Estimate
Estimate the cost of a one-time visit
Answer three quick questions for a general price range. This is a helpful starting point, not a firm quote. The real cost depends on your home and the details of the work.
Your estimated range
Answer the questions above to see an estimated price range. No sign-up needed.
Some work, including electrical, plumbing, and structural tasks, requires a licensed professional and is priced separately. Estimates may include a minimum visit charge and vary by location within Middle Tennessee.
Which Fits Your Situation
One-Time Service May Be Right for You If...
- You only need help with one specific task
- Your parent occasionally needs help around the house
- You live out of town and need someone local
- You need help with a seasonal task
- You want someone to check on a particular home concern

Need Help More Often?
One-time visits are a great fit for occasional needs. If you're regularly coordinating maintenance, checking on a parent's home, or handling several household tasks throughout the year, one of our ongoing home care plans may be more convenient and cost-effective.
