Same-Day Handyman Help_ InstaService's Same Day Fix Promise

Time is of the essence once an emergency repair arises, whether a broken door lock that puts security at risk or an electrical anomaly that could endanger life. Waiting for days for help is just not an option. InstaService is committed to offering you the same-day handyman service you can trust. With our service, a fast handyman is often at your door within 60 minutes, ready to tackle your urgent home repair efficiently and reliably.

Our instant services combine the power of advanced AI technology with vetted professionals, delivering the right help at the right time. When it comes to urgent home repair, InstaService ensures that speed and quality go hand in hand.

Why Speed Matters in Home Emergencies

Home emergencies don’t wait, and neither should you. Delays can cause minor problems to explode into costly disasters. For example, water damage repair costs can jump from a couple of hundred dollars to over $11,000 within just a week if ignored. Electrical hazards and gas leaks require immediate attention to ensure safety and prevent fires or further damage.

Security vulnerabilities such as broken locks pose dangers beyond property loss; they put your family at risk and complicate insurance claims. 75% of homeowners reported an emergency at home that required repairs in the last year, yet many said they couldn’t get fast help. The quicker things get fixed, the less they cost and the lower the risk.

The Cost of Delay: Water Damage & Security Risks

Water damage and security issues worsen over time. Prompt repair can save thousands in future costs and protect your family’s health and security. InstaService’s promise of a 60-minute arrival for most urgent repair jobs tackles these pressing risks head-on.

How InstaService Achieves ≤1 Hour Dispatch

AI Geo-Matching & Live ETA

At the core of InstaService’s rapid response is our AI geo-matching technology. Once you book, the system immediately assigns your job to the nearest handyman qualified for your specific repair. This eliminates lag due to manual dispatch and ensures the fastest possible handyman arrival.

You receive live ETA notifications and real-time tracking, giving you transparency and peace of mind right from the moment you book.

Pre-Stocked Material for Common Parts

Our handymen arrive fully stocked, equipped with essential parts and tools needed to fix 85% of repairs on the first visit. This allows for efficient, one-stop repairs without delays caused by ordering and waiting for parts.
