Home upkeep for aging parents in Schaumburg
Regular visits to your parent’s Schaumburg home: fresh filters, a tested sump pump, seasonal prep, a hand with anything up to 40 lbs, and a text with photos to you after every visit.
Why families in Schaumburg use Porchlight
Much of Schaumburg was built in the 1960s and 70s, with plenty of ranch and split-level homes. They're easy to live in, but many now have aging water heaters, sump pumps and dryer vents worth a regular look.
If you live across town or across the country, it’s hard to know whether those things are getting done. Porchlight visits on a regular schedule, takes care of the routine upkeep, and texts you photos and anything that needs attention.
