PORCH 

The Local Home Improvement Home Services platform connects homeowners with quality home improvement, repair, and maintenance professionals.

ABOUT

Porch, established in 2013, was created to connect homeowners with reputable home improvement professionals. Initially, it functioned as a marketplace where homeowners could request projects from professionals across the nation in the expansive $500 billion home improvement market. As time went on, Porch shifted gears and transformed into a vertical software company. Its focus shifted towards simplifying the home experience by offering software and services to various companies within the home service industry. Porch’s ultimate goal is to collaborate with home service businesses, enhancing homeowner experiences in areas ranging from moving to home improvement and more. With a diverse range of partners such as moving companies, home inspectors, utility companies, and real estate professionals, Porch has forged relationships with over 11,000 businesses. Through these partnerships, Porch endeavors to streamline the moving and home maintenance process for homeowners, making an impact on approximately two-thirds of U.S. homebuyers every month.
