About Us: Our mission is to help home owners, local home improvement stores (hardware stores, lumberyards, etc.), and contractors come together seamlessly to exchange services. We are changing the way people find and book local home improvement services on the Web. Our New Orleans-based company was started to help people find the right local contractor or professional to handle any local home improvement need. Home owners can request a service (e.g., plumber, electrician, contractor, painter, etc.), and local professionals will receive their request and submit price quotes and appointment times. The home owner will be shown profile information about each service provider, the price they'll charge for the job, their ratings and reviews, and which friends or professional organizations endorse them. When the home owner sees a service provider they like, they can accept the price quote and schedule the appointment online at the touch of a button.
