San Francisco’s trusted property services platform

NorTech uses upfront flat-rate pricing, so you see the full price before you book anywhere in San Francisco, including the Mission's 94110 ZIP. General handyman visits start at a flat rate, and because the price is set in advance there are no surprise hourly charges at the end of the job.

NorTech connects homeowners with vetted local providers across the city, including the Mission, Noe Valley, the Sunset, the Richmond, Pacific Heights, Bernal Heights, Hayes Valley, and SoMa. Because providers are local, they understand each area's microclimate and housing stock, from foggy Sunset cottages to sunny Mission flats.

Every job is handled by background-checked and insured independent providers. NorTech keeps work within California's $1,000 handyman exemption for general repairs, and when a project is larger or requires a licensed contractor, it's quoted individually and matched to a NorTech-verified licensed contractor so the right professional handles it.

Yes. San Francisco's older Victorians, Edwardians, and TIC units often have plaster-and-lath walls, decorative trim, and quirks from decades of settling. Independent providers are familiar with these homes and can patch plaster, repair original woodwork, and handle the small repairs that newer-build work sometimes overlooks.

Pre-sale punch lists are one of the most common reasons SF homeowners book, and providers can knock out the long list of cosmetic and minor repairs that come up before a listing. For earthquake retrofit prep and other structural work that needs permits, NorTech quotes the job individually and matches it to a NorTech-verified licensed contractor rather than handling it under the handyman exemption.

San Francisco's DBI permitting can be strict, and many homes sit on steep slopes with damp, foggy microclimates that affect materials and finishes. Independent providers focus on non-permit handyman repairs and maintenance, and when a job clearly requires a DBI permit or a licensed contractor, it's quoted individually and matched to a NorTech-verified licensed contractor so the work is done correctly.
