Oisin Hanrahan, Umang Dua, Ignacio Leonhardt, and Weina Scott co-founded Handy in June 2012. Originally called Handybook, Handy raised millions in start-up funds.

Handy connects household service professionals with customers for scheduled cleaning and handyman services. For customers, it’s the easy way to get things done in their home or office. For professionals, it’s the best way to capitalize on their handy skills while maintaining a flexible schedule. For Handy, they make the connections and take a percentage of each transaction. It’s the classic shared economy business model where at the end of the day everyone is better off.

Handy is a convenient, hassle-free, and affordable way for customers to find professionals who supply cleaning, handyman, plumbing, electrical, and other services. Basically, if it’s a task that makes your home or office shine, then Handy can take care of it.

Here’s how Handy works: A customer goes to Handy.com or uses the Handy App on Android or iOS to book the household service that they need. They select the service, the date and time, and accept the price. Price is dictated by location and service. Handy then connects the customer to a highly rated service professional. The whole booking process can take less than a minute.

After the customer confirms the appointment, they pay and tip online. The service professional arrives at the scheduled time and completes the job. The customer can track the status of the job via the app if they are not home. When the job is completed they rank the professional. If they are pleased, the customer can schedule repeat visits – kind of like a subscription service.

Handy offers complete peace of mind because Handy offers a 100% money-back guarantee. They only use trusted professionals who are background checked, insured, and experienced. All Handy Pros must have paid experience as a cleaner or handyman, must be legally allowed to work, and have a guest service-oriented attitude.
