About Us
Launched in Fall 2017, Home Solutions targets the rapidly digitizing home services vertical and matches homeowners with the right service provider to meet their needs. Our purpose is simple: Simplify Home Services. We aspire to transform the way homeowners and end-service providers engage. Through our media, alerts, and brand solutions, Home Solutions has a proprietary audience of 47M+ homeowners and prime real estate in search engines. We are on a mission to make homeownership easier by creating high quality content that pairs consumers with providers in a range of related categories.
Home Solutions was incubated within Three Ships, a growth equity firm that launches and invests in digital companies, builds great leadership teams, and helps them rapidly scale. The Three Ships portfolio includes several businesses and over 50+ websites that help consumers navigate choices through online marketplaces. Headquartered in Raleigh and Charlotte, we are always looking to find the right people to help us continue to grow this business and place a high value on teammates who demonstrate our core values: Get After It, Grow Without Limits, Act With Focus and Build the Team.
Why You Should Join Us
- Results: Home Solutions is the fastest-growing marketplace company in the home services category.
