Shattering Industry Norms: HomePoint’s Revolutionary Approach to Home Maintenance
Flipping the Home Maintenance Industry on Its Head
HomePoint was born out of a desire to revolutionize the home maintenance landscape by departing from the traditional “break-fix” service model. We understand the frustration homeowners often experience with the hours spent managing projects, preventable emergencies, and the uncertainty of whom to call in times of need. It’s a feeling of vulnerability, as though every service technician is capitalizing on homeowners’ lack of expertise.
Unfortunately, this vulnerability is compounded by an increasing number of homeowners falling victim to appliance and repair companies that motivate their employees with commissions, leading them to persuade and, at times, manipulate homeowners into spending tens of thousands of dollars unnecessarily.
Realigning Incentives for Mutual Benefit
Traditionally, the industry had an awkward arrangement. Companies were in the business of fixing things once they’re broken, with little incentive to ensure long-term functionality. It made financial sense to use less robust materials and invest minimally in the homes they serviced. After all, more breakages equated to more business.
At HomePoint, we think differently. Our annual service shifts this perspective. Our focus is to save by not having to revisit your home for repairs continually. This approach incentivizes us to invest time, effort, and utilize high-quality materials and tools right from the onset. We don’t just want to be another service; we aim to be your home maintenance partner, deeply invested in the well-being and longevity of your home.
Cutting Costs Without Cutting Corners
For homeowners not yet on board with HomePoint, the costs of even the most minor repairs can quickly escalate. Take for example a simple garbage disposal replacement job. Traditional services would charge a minimum trip fee, a minimum hourly rate (even if the job is done in a quarter of that time), and slap on a substantial markup on parts. The homeowner ends up bearing all these costs, often paying far more than the value received.
But with HomePoint, the game changes entirely. There is no minimum trip fee, no hefty markups, and you only pay for the time we spend, down to the minute. With us, you can expect to save significantly without compromising on the quality of service received.
Consider this recent real-life scenario:
For a single garbage disposal repair, this means nearly $300 saved!
Building Trust Through Transparent Practices
When incentives align, trust is naturally fostered. At HomePoint, we have no hidden agenda. We aim for longevity, both in the functionality of your home appliances and our professional relationship with you. When we say we are invested in your home, we mean it in every sense of the word.
With cost-effective, efficient, and reliable services, HomePoint not only provides immediate relief but also ensures future peace of mind for homeowners. Our business grows when your home thrives, creating a cycle of mutual benefit and trust.
