Dear Homejoy Community,
In 2012, my brother Aaron and I had a vision. We imagined a platform where people could find and offer any home service, from cleaning to carpentry, with the click of a button. Our dream was to help people keep their homes clean and cared for – and empower our partners to enjoy flexible work so they could study, raise families or ease into retirement.
So, we put on those bright, yellow gloves and cleaned homes to learn the tricks of the trade – and launched a movement that gained the support from some of the most respected investors in the world.
With a small team of great energy and bright minds, we grew a global network of exceptional home service experts, and served hundreds of thousands of homes in 35 cities in the US, Canada, UK, Germany and France. And last year, we expanded to new verticals, including handyman and carpet cleaning services.
We’re proud to be the pioneers of this space – but, above all, we’re grateful for the community of partners, employees and clients that supported us. It has been a joy to see our product grow from dream to reality – and watch partner and client connections blossom into long-term, trusted relationships.
Although we succeeded in many ways, we also faced obstacles. There are still many unresolved challenges in the home services space. We gave it our all, but regretfully, we have made the difficult decision to cease operations. Homejoy will officially close its doors on July 31st.
We’re determined to support you to keep your homes humming and business buzzing, so we will do our best to ensure partners and clients who want to continue to work together get a chance to do so independently of Homejoy.
We bid farewell, and thank you. It was our privilege to be part of this movement and to have helped your homes and businesses shine brighter.
To happy homes,
Adora
