A handyman membership for Collegedale homes
Collegedale is a college town at heart. It grew up around Southern Adventist University, which opened here in 1916 as Southern Junior College. McKee Foods, the Little Debbie company, moved to the area in 1956. The city incorporated in 1968. Since then it has grown fast, from about 3,000 people in 1970 to more than 11,000 in 2020.
That growth means Collegedale has two kinds of houses side by side. Some streets have ranch and split-level homes from the middle of the last century. Others have homes built in just the last few years. Both need regular care, just in different spots.
Here is how Fortress Home Services fits in. With the Quarter Round Plan, you get four seasonal visits a year: Spring Refresh, Summer Tune-Up, Fall Prep and the Winter Inside List. Each one lasts two hours. We do the season's checklist, and then we turn to your list. Each visit ends with a photo report and an updated home checklist. You pay $60 a month or $179 a quarter, and you can cancel with 30 days notice. Not sure yet? The $59 Fix-It Hour lets you see how we work. You get an hour of small fixes plus a full-home checklist with photos. Join within 7 days, and we credit it to your first month.
Older split-levels and brand-new builds
The older homes in Collegedale include ranch, split-level and Colonial Revival styles. Split-levels have short runs of stairs and lots of separate rooms. That means more interior doors, more trim and more corners to keep tidy. Over the years, doors drift and stop latching. Quarter round pulls away from the floor. Drywall gets dinged near the stairs. Closet doors slip off their tracks.
Newer homes in town have their own needs. Paint gets scuffed on move-in day. Caulk lines shrink as a new house settles. Cabinet doors need a quick tweak. We take care of these small fixes on every visit. If you need something we don't do, like electrical, plumbing or HVAC repair, we'll say so plainly and note it in your report.

Collegedale questions
Ooltewah sits inside Collegedale. Do you work in both?
Yes. Ooltewah is its own community, but it is surrounded by the city of Collegedale, and the two run together. We serve homes in both places. The Quarter Round Plan, the $59 Fix-It Hour and the prices are the same either way. We also have a separate page for Ooltewah.
What would you work on in an older split-level?
Split-levels have lots of doors, trim and stair corners. So we'd look at doors that rub or won't latch, quarter round that has pulled loose, dinged drywall along the stairs and tired caulk in the bathrooms. Each visit starts with the seasonal checklist. The rest of the two hours goes to whatever is on your list.
We're moving to Collegedale. Can you help get the new house ready?
The $59 Fix-It Hour is a good place to start. We spend an hour on small fixes, like hanging shelves, changing bulbs or adjusting doors. Then we walk the whole house and give you a checklist with photos. That gives you a clear picture of your new home. If you join the plan within 7 days, the $59 is credited to your first month.
