Our Story: Why We Believe in the Joy of a Happy Home

At Honey Homes, our story is deeply personal. As busy parents of three young boys, we experienced firsthand the challenges of maintaining our home. The endless to-do lists, the difficulty in finding reliable tradespeople, and the time-consuming coordination all added stress to our lives. Not to mention the hidden costs and precious family time taken away.

After an irrigation specialist (rated 5 stars on Yelp!) took a hefty deposit from us and then promptly disappeared, we knew there had to be a better way. We quickly learned that our friends and neighbors agreed whole-heartedly, and so Honey Homes was born. 

Our vision is that of a drastically simplified, dare we say - joyful, way to care for your home, where technology and craftsmanship work hand in hand. We pair each household with a dedicated, fully employed, and vetted handyman who manages everything from minor upgrades to routine maintenance tasks—so you don’t have to. Our app assists by making scheduling and communication effortless, giving members peace of mind at every step.

We know your home is so much more than the four walls around you, and believe homeownership should be about making memories in a space you love. However, with home maintenance costs averaging over $6,500 per year and nearly 70% of homeowners feeling overwhelmed by upkeep, it’s clear the traditional model isn’t making this easy. We built Honey Homes to change that. 

Our handymen are at the heart of Honey Homes. They are full-time W-2 employees, receiving health benefits, PTO, parental leave, and ongoing professional development. They are throughly vetted for both skill and customer service, and capable of handling a wide range of tasks. Each one only takes on a small group of members, giving them the ability to learn your home and provide the best level of care and guidance.

We are grateful to our nearly 2,000 members for giving us the opportunity and privilege to enter their homes, and invite you to join us in transforming home care from a source of stress into a source of comfort and joy.
