Local proof

A Lafayette crew, not a lead mill

Frank Foust started Welcome Home Improvement LLC in 2019. Homeowners here hire him for the jobs that pile up in older Tippecanoe houses: a leaning wood fence, a wax-ring leak into the floorboards, three inches of basement water after a storm, a kitchen vent hood, cedar siding on a garage. Repeat customers stay because the estimate holds and someone actually calls back.

Ryan in the Lafayette area had baseboards, doorframes, and three windows framed — then hired again. A Lafayette homeowner sent fence, gate, closet, and siding work to the same number. Pete called after a flooded basement and ended up with tile instead of another wet carpet. Those are published reviews, not invented case studies.

What this is not

  • A 24-hour dispatch desk or a national franchise van
  • A “free visual inspection” product — the quote is free
  • A licensed sewer-main replacement plumber
  • A panel-replacement electrician
  • A promise we can take every same-day call

Typical Greater Lafayette work

What we actually take

  • The house list

    Doors that rub, a leaning gate, a dripping kitchen faucet, a GFCI that will not hold, a washer that sits in the standpipe. One crew, one conversation.

    All services

  • Drains and cameras

    Clogged sinks, tubs, and laundry lines. We run a camera when guessing would cost you a second visit.

    Drain cleanout

  • Under the house

    A crawlspace inspection robot — remote-control camera — checks moisture, insulation, pests, leaks, and structure so nobody has to guess. Starting at $199.

    Crawlspace inspection

  • Water after a leak

    Wet drywall, a wax-ring floor, a basement after a hard rain. Stabilize first. Rebuild what belongs in a carpenter visit.

    Water and mold

  • Rentals and turnovers

    Vacant winterize, Section 8 / HQS prep, and the punch that sits between tenants. Not a pass guarantee.

    Inspection prep

Nearby landings: Handyman Oxford, Handyman Monticello, plumbing repair, GFCI safety, laundry pumps, Lafayette winterization (vacant + fall prep) , outdoor and site work.

Short answers

Before you call

What does a Lafayette handyman visit cost?

Daytime labor is $95 per hour. The trip is $85 and it is credited to the job. A defined punch visit is $145. Materials we supply are cost plus 35%. Quotes are free — not a “free visual inspection.”

Do you serve West Lafayette and Tippecanoe County?

Yes. Home base is Lafayette. We regularly drive West Lafayette, the rest of Tippecanoe County, and nearby towns including Brookston, Delphi, Monticello, and Oxford. If you are not sure you are in range, say the town on the call.

Is same-day available?

When the job is urgent and we have a crew: next-day +$75, same-day +$125, after-hours or Sunday +$175. That is a scheduling add-on, not a 24-hour guarantee.

Who owns the company?

Frank Foust owns Welcome Home Improvement LLC. Family-owned since 2019. Carpenter-led, one-year warranty on labor. Call or text (765) 551-7368 or email frank@welcomehomeimprovementllc.com.

How much does a handyman cost in Lafayette, IN?

For Welcome Home Improvement LLC, daytime handyman labor is $95 per hour. The trip is $85 and it is credited to the job — you are not paying a dead fee on top of an hour of work. A defined punch visit is $145. Materials we supply are billed at cost plus 35%. Those are the locked public numbers. We do not publish a menu of every possible repair because a leaning fence and a dripping faucet are not the same hour. Urgency, when you need it and we have a slot: next-day +$75, same-day +$125, after-hours or Sunday +$175. HOA or small-commercial evenings are $190 for a 2-hour minimum. Builder and flip punch lists use the punch and hourly rates on the builder punch page. The quote is free. Call or text (765) 551-7368, email frank@welcomehomeimprovementllc.com, or send the form with the address and the list. We review it and send a number by email or text. You should not have to hunt a Lafayette tradesman or guess the bill from a national lead mill.

Do you offer same-day or emergency handyman service, and what does it cost?

Yes — same-day and next-day are available when the job is urgent and we have a crew in Greater Lafayette. That is not a 24-hour guarantee and not a promise we are sitting on a truck for every call. Call or text (765) 551-7368 and we will tell you the next honest opening. After-hours and Sunday work, when we take it, is a scheduled window — not a fire-watch desk. Locked urgency add-ons on top of the quoted work: next-day +$75, same-day +$125, after-hours or Sunday +$175. Daytime handyman labor is $95/hr with an $85 trip credited to the job. HOA and small-commercial evenings are a different product: $190 for a 2-hour minimum. Quotes are still free. Tell us what failed, the town, and whether the water is still running. A burst, a wet basement, or a dark GFCI kitchen is the kind of call we try to fit. A “sometime this month” punch list is not an emergency fee. If we cannot take it today, you hear that on the phone — not after you waited.
