What Is HomeHomeYeah

You can find good service providers easily and quickly by adding service providers, writing useful reviews and joining your company group.
Who We Are
We are a group of passionate homeowners who happen to be software engineers. Over the years we have done many home projects.
We often hired contractors, due to the busy nature of our profession. From our personal experience, we encountered several problems:
- It is very hard to find reputable contractors.
- There could be significant difference between different quotes. It is very easy to get ripped off if you are not experienced.
- The whole process is time consuming and a lot of hassle
Simply put, we do not have the confidence to hire contractors and we tend to postpone improving our homes.
This is just not right. So we set off to solve these problems. It might take long time but we are determined.

With the membership fee dropped to a few dollars per month the fraud reviews become much easier.

• They are in control. They collect your info and send it to contractors they prefer.
• Many good and small service providers are not on the list.

• One more thing HomeAdvisor is the new name of ServiceMangic which had bad reputation.

To be fair those web sites do provide some value but we strongly feel that they are not built from ground up for homeowners and do not have enough trust.
Please let us know if you want to include other web sites for comparison.
