How much do home services cost in Palo Alto?

NorTech uses pricing set by local pros, so you see the full price before you book in ZIP 94301 and across Palo Alto. Each local pro sets their own price, and because the rate is fixed up front there are no surprise hourly charges.

Are the providers licensed, insured, and background-checked?

Every job is handled by a background-checked and insured independent provider. NorTech keeps work within California's $1,000 handyman exemption, and for larger projects that exceed that threshold it goes to bids from NorTech-verified licensed general contractors.

Can NorTech help maintain my Eichler home?

Yes. Palo Alto has more Eichlers than anywhere on earth, and providers understand their post-and-beam construction, radiant slab floors, and floor-to-ceiling glass, so work like painting, flooring, and repairs is done with that mid-century design in mind.

What does it cost to book vacation & second-home check in Palo Alto?

Pricing is up-front and shown before you commit — enter your Palo Alto ZIP — Old Palo Alto, Crescent Park and every nearby neighborhood are covered, pick Vacation & Second-Home Check, and the price is right there. Your card is held for the price at booking and only charged once the job is done.

Is vacation & second-home check in Palo Alto backed by a warranty?

Yes. Your pro backs every Palo Alto job with a workmanship warranty of at least 30 days on general repairs and at least 90 days on tile, flooring, doors, and windows, and your pro may offer more. If covered work isn't right inside that window, your pro makes it right at no charge.
