HVAC servicing, plumbing, electrical work, pest control, appliance repair, cleaning and handyman jobs are services every household needs again and again. Big platforms have taught customers to book through an app, but they take a commission and own the customer. Local service businesses with a good reputation can build their own direct channel.
