  HouseCall

  June 2013 – Present (3 years 7 months)

  HouseCall is the app for your house. We put the best home services professionals at your fingertips in an easy to use mobile app.
  
  - We are bringing back community trust. HouseCall Pros are the people that live and work in your neighborhood. We use mobile technology to match their location to yours, and allow-in only the best folks. There are no faceless big company names. Just real independent professionals who know the importance of serving each customer like a friend.
  
  - We make pricing transparent. We show each pro's price ahead of time for the things you need to get done so you don't have to waste time calling for quotes. And when it comes time to pay, everything is automatically taken care of with the credit card you have on file. No more awkward moments wondering if you need to pay by cash, leave a tip, or dig out a check book.
  
  - We show you the Pro's location en-route. Old school appointment windows from 8-noon? That's just ridiculous. Mobile location will keep you in the know by showing you where your pro is and how long it will take them to get to your house.
  
  - We're there in an emergency. Plumbing leak? No problem. We give you the unprecedented ability to see who's available and nearby right now.
  
  HouseCall was founded by team of mobile technology veterans who simply wanted a better way to maintain our homes.
