Honey Homes offers personalized home maintenance with a smile
Each task on his list—from installing a smart thermostat to fixing holes in the wall made by his kids—took time, money and a lot of effort finding a trusted vendor to help. After having a sprinkler vendor ghost him after taking a $1,000 deposit, Prabhakara decided to take the initiative to create a better, more cost-effective solution.
In 2021, Prabhakara founded Honey Homes, a membership service that provides regular home improvement and upkeep, to combat the issues he and countless others have faced.
Homeowners in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex who sign up are assigned a dedicated handyman who stops by twice a month to tackle key to-dos, from quality of life improvements to preventative maintenance. With an average of three tasks being completed each visit, Honey Homes helps people not only better enjoy their homes, but lower their ongoing homeownership costs.
“Getting home tasks done is tough because you have to spend hours trying to either figure out how to do them yourself, or finding someone you can trust to take care of them for you,” Prabhakara said. “That’s not only challenging, but can quickly become very expensive. We created Honey Homes to replace that stress and inconvenience with comfort and peace of mind.”
Services provided through Honey Homes:
- Electrical handyman services
- Plumbing handyman services
- General home maintenance
- Blinds and window treatments
- Door and window repairs
- Drywall repairs
- TVs, artwork and shelving
- Furniture assembly and repairs
- Smart home, Wi-Fi and electric vehicle charging
Centralizing the homeowner experience in the Honey Homes mobile app was important to Prabhakara, since in this day and age, everything happens on smartphones.
“Our app acts as a concierge hub where homeowners can manage all their home needs with just a few taps,” Prabhakara said. “If they want to add a task, they can simply take a photo or a quick video, add a few notes and their handyman will address it on the next visit. They can use the messaging function to chat with our team about any questions. And, they can schedule appointments with guaranteed arrival times instead of the vague four hour windows common among other vendors.”
Memberships are offered at two different price points: $2,950 a year or $295 a month, and include up to two handyman visits per month. The annual membership allows homeowners to save $590.
With this transparent pricing, members receive quality work from handymen who have been carefully vetted by Honey Homes— for both their technical and customer service skills—and take pride in their work.
“We talked to many homeowners to understand what they really want, and worked backwards from there to build Honey Homes,” Prabhakara said. “That’s why we’ve created the best job in the industry for handymen. Our team gets to use their problem-solving intellect as well as their technical skills every day. We support them with benefits such as steady hours, health insurance, PTO and career advancement. Collectively, this enables them to provide a consistently exceptional experience for homeowners.”
