Take note of these five popular on-demand home services startups, as this industry looks set to skyrocket over the next few years.
Handy
Started in 2012, Handy is one of the most popular on-demand home services startups. The company connects customers with vetted and insured professional house cleaners, handymen, and more. With a simple to use mobile app, users can find local professionals to book appointments.
The best part? If you ever had an unsatisfactory experience with a pro on Handy’s platform, you can write a review that reflects their performance. There are no limitations as to how many reviews they may have on the site.

There are tons of apps out there that let you order anything from a ride to dinner to even someone to clean your house. So what’s new? Well, a few new on-demand home services startups have cropped up in recent years, each with its own twist on the model. One such example is Eco Tech Maids.
Founded in 2011 by Lynsie Campbell, EcoTech Windows & Doors is one company that has built an exceptional reputation.

Fixer
The idea for Fixer came from CEO and founder, Johnathan, after he had to clean up his dad’s new house before they moved in. With the help of some friends who are designers, they created the website and launched it in September 2013. They also offer a professional design service that you can pay extra for if you’re not confident with your own designs or just want someone else to do all the work.
