May is National Home Improvement Month. With the arrival of spring, now is a good time to decorate your home. However, there is a shortage of skilled workers. About half of Canadians have difficulty finding reliable professionals to provide services, especially in British Columbia, where the proportion is as high as 72%.
Technology has revolutionized many industries, including transportation and food services, through apps like Uber and DoorDash, but the home service industry remains underserved by technology, with owners, businesses, and contractors continuing to face challenges including lack of trust, pricing transparency, high advertising costs, and a lack of management tools to streamline business operations.
RepairFind, an innovative Vancouver-based platform that connects homeowners and business owners with skilled local contractors for their home repair and maintenance needs, has launched two dedicated apps tailored to specific user needs.
RepairFind is a way to simplify the process of finding reliable service providers, providing an easy and seamless experience for customers and contractors in the Lower Mainland. The client application makes it easy for homeowners and business owners to book reliable services in just a few taps. Whether you need help with plumbing, painting, renovation, or construction or interior design, RepairFind can connect you with qualified local contractors to get the job done right.
For professionals in the home service industry, the RepairFind Contractor App is the go-to solution for growing their business and streamlining operations. By eliminating the need for advertising, RepairFind provides contractors with a direct and easy way to connect with clients. The app allows contractors to showcase their skills, manage bookings, and communicate directly with clients in real time – all on one convenient platform.
“Our goal with RepairFind was to eliminate the frustration that customers experience when searching for trustworthy contractors, while providing skilled professionals with a powerful platform to grow their business,” said Gilbert Moore, Founder and CEO of RepairFind.
“The app is designed to increase transparency, simplify the booking process and ultimately build trust between customers and service providers,” he said.
The platform uses a four-step process designed to enhance the user experience for homeowners and contractors: create an account as a contractor or customer; explore a range of trusted services or contractors in the area; schedule an appointment and chat instantly with a contractor; then sit back and enjoy reliable, high-quality home or business service.
Available services include plumbing, electrical, mechanical (HVAC), renovation, painting, cabinetry, interior design, home inspections, builders, architects, landscaping, and more.
RepairFind is available for download on iOS and Android devices.
