Local Spotlight · Bourbonnais, ILWho We Call: Accountable Handyman Service
We clean the outside of your house. We do not fix it. When something up there needs a carpenter instead of a cleaner, there is one name in Bourbonnais we hand out, and this is them.
Why We Keep A Short List
We are on ladders all day. Gutters, rooflines, siding, windows. That means we see the parts of a house nobody else gets a close look at, and we find things that are not ours to fix. Soft fascia behind a gutter that has been clogged for three seasons. Trim pulling away at a corner. A storm door that stopped sealing two winters ago.
When that happens we tell the homeowner, and the next question is always the same. Who should I call?
Pointing someone at a search results page is not an answer. We keep a short list of local trades we actually trust, because recommending somebody puts our name on their work. For handyman jobs in Bourbonnais and around Kankakee County, that name is Accountable Handyman Service.

Jeremy is a lifetime tradesman, and the company is built around the thing the name says out loud. Their own line is accountable by name, accountable by nature. When they say they will be there, they are there. When they quote a price, that is the price.
If that sounds like a low bar, you have never tried to get a small job done. The entire handyman category runs on the same two complaints, people who do not show and prices that move after the work starts. Building a whole brand around not doing those two things tells you what they think matters.
What They Handle
- Repairs and maintenance, including drywall patching, leaky faucets, sticking doors, and the running list most homeowners keep on the fridge
- Carpentry and installs, including shelving, trim, furniture assembly, and custom builds
- Painting and finishing, interior and exterior
- Home improvement projects and upgrades, the jobs that are bigger than a repair and smaller than a general contractor
- TV mounting, fixture swaps, and the small stuff that sits undone for months
Their own description is the honest version of a handyman pitch: no job too small, no project too big. Free quotes, and they walk you through the project, the timeline, and the price before anyone picks up a tool.
Where Our Work Ends And Theirs Begins
This is the practical part, and the reason this post exists. Here is what we find on exterior jobs that we will tell you about and then hand off:
- Rotted fascia or soffit, usually behind gutters that went too long without a cleaning
- Loose, cracked, or missing trim, which we see constantly while washing siding
- Failed caulk around windows and doors, the thing that quietly drives up a heating bill
- Soft or splintered deck boards found while we are cleaning a deck
- Cracked or missing siding panels
- Exterior doors and storm doors that no longer seal or latch right
- Loose gutter hangers and sections pulling away from the house
We will point every one of those out, take a photo, and send it to you. What we will not do is pretend we can fix it. We clean exteriors and hang Christmas lights. A company that says yes to everything is usually a company that is about to do something badly.
One scheduling tip
If a handyman is replacing fascia, trim, or siding on your house, let that work finish before a house wash when you can. New material gets cleaned along with everything else, and you are not paying to wash something that is about to be torn off. We are glad to talk through the order with you or directly with them.
Full Disclosure
We also built their website. Our side business, Green Pro Websites, handles web and local search work for a handful of area companies, and Accountable Handyman Service is one of them. That is worth saying out loud so you know the whole picture.
It is not why we recommend them. We recommend them because our customers come back and tell us the job went well, and because we have watched how they handle themselves. If that ever stopped being true, this post would come down.
Supporting Local Means Something Here
Kankakee County is not that big. The companies working here are run by people you will run into at the grocery store, and that is exactly why reputation still does the heavy lifting. We would rather send you to a neighbor who answers the phone than to whoever paid the most for a search ad that week.

Common Questions
Questions About The Referral
Accountable Handyman Service, based in Bourbonnais and serving Kankakee County. They handle repairs and maintenance, carpentry and installs, interior and exterior painting, and larger home improvement projects. You can reach them at 779-396-2555 or at accountablehandymanservice.com.
No. We do not take referral fees, finders fees, or any kind of kickback for sending work their way. We recommend them because our customers come back happy, which is the only currency that matters when you put your own name behind somebody else's work.
No, and that is the point. We clean exteriors and install Christmas lights. We do not patch drywall, hang doors, repair trim, or run a paint brush. When we spot something on your house that needs a carpenter rather than a cleaner, we tell you and we tell you who to call.
Rotted fascia and soffit behind clogged gutters, loose or missing trim, failing caulk around windows, soft deck boards, damaged siding panels, and exterior doors that no longer seal. We see these constantly, because we are the ones up on a ladder looking at them closely.
Yes, and sometimes that order matters. If a handyman is replacing fascia or trim, it usually makes sense to let that finish before a house wash so the new material gets cleaned along with everything else. We are happy to talk through sequencing so nobody is working over the top of anybody.
