Mr. Handyman Launches New HandyPlan Annual
Home Maintenance Program

Innovative Service Promises to Reduce Total Cost of Home Maintenance

ATLANTA, GA -- May 13, 2003 -- Mr. Handyman™ of Atlanta, a leading local provider of home and commercial maintenance, repair, and improvement services announces the launch of its new HandyPlan® Preferred Client Annual Maintenance Program. The HandyPlan® program is designed to provide area homeowners with Atlanta's most prompt, safe, and reliable home services in a convenient pre-packaged or customized annual home maintenance plan focused on reducing total cost of home maintenance.

The standard HandyPlan® annual program provides homeowners with four home services visits, one per quarter, well timed to coincide with seasonal home maintenance checks. Each of the four annual visits consists of two hours of premium services, including a thorough home maintenance and safety review and report, plus a wide range of home repair and maintenance services based on the individual homeowner's needs. Under the plan, homeowners receive these and other desired services at preferred client rates, which are discounted by up to 35% from the company's standard hourly rates. HandyPlan® preferred clients may choose from a low annual fee or a convenient monthly payment plan, and custom programs can be tailored to meet individual needs. These low rates and convenient terms, coupled with the preventative maintenance advantages that result in solving problems before they require major time and money to repair, provide homeowners with a reduced overall cost of home maintenance.

In addition to the extensive list of maintenance and repair chores covering nearly every indoor or outside item on homeowners' "to-do" lists, from fixing a squeaky door to cleaning the gutters, Mr. Handyman™ also tackles projects that most home repair services don't, things like assembling gas grills and other equipment, or installing closet and garage organizers. And Mr. Handyman™ does it all with a unique team of highly skilled master craftsmen, each with 15-20 years of residential/commercial construction experience, who arrive with the right tools and supplies to get every job done right the first time. All Mr. Handyman™ master technicians are direct employees, not subcontractors, and are uniformed, bonded and insured. Mr. Handyman™ delivers prompt, safe, and reliable home repair services with a friendly and professional touch.

"We are launching the HandyPlan® Preferred Client Annual Maintenance Program in response to growing consumer interest in our homeowner services", stated Skip Gunther, president and owner of Mr. Handyman™ of North Atlanta, located in Marietta, GA. "Once they experience our unique mix of professionalism and wide range of services, many of our clients come back to Mr. Handyman™ for their ongoing repair and maintenance needs. We wanted to find a way to reward these repeat clients with a program that not only provides them with our best rates, but also addresses their overall cost of home maintenance. Through the help of our professional craftsmen, savvy consumers are recognizing the practical value that this scheduled maintenance program can bring to their home ownership experience. In addition to offering the most efficient fix to immediate problems by providing the time, skill, and tools that homeowners may lack, HandyPlan® helps our clients realize lower overall costs and increased home value and equity through the power of preventative maintenance."
