Honey Homes

3515 Mt Diablo Blvd Unit 42, Lafayette, CA, 94549, United States

Overview

Honey Homes operates a subscription membership that delivers ongoing home upkeep and maintenance through dedicated handypeople who visit members twice-monthly. The service is supported by a mobile app where members chat with the team, manage tasks, and book appointments. The company has built proprietary tools including Home Health, which customizes preventative maintenance schedules, and AI-driven internal tools to improve handyperson efficiency and punctuality. Founded in 2021, Honey Homes has completed over 60,000 member tasks across more than 30,000 handyperson visits for over 1,000 members. The business recently launched in Los Angeles (its third market) and plans to expand across California and Texas in 2024 while introducing new service offerings. Honey Homes has now raised over $21 million to date to fund growth and product development. Honey Homes offers homeowners a membership (priced at $200 per month or $2,000 per year) that matches them with a dedicated, salaried handyperson who visits at least once a month to handle maintenance, repairs and installations. The service is managed through an app where homeowners create to-do lists, schedule appointments and get paired with specialists when needed. The company emphasizes employee consistency and quality by employing handypersons as salaried staff who receive benefits (including parental leave and paid time off) and by operating a training program called Honey Homes University. Founded in 2021 by Vishwas and Avantika Prabhakara with Katie Pham and Rory O’Connell, Honey Homes launched its first beta customers in August 2021 and is currently available to single-family homeowners in San Francisco Bay Area suburbs and has begun operations in Dallas. The startup employs 45 people (including 25 handypersons), has grown to more than 500 members, completed over 20,000 tasks, grew members 8x in 2022 and has nearly doubled membership so far this year. While focused on suburban single-family homes today, the company plans to eventually expand into urban centers.
