One Shared Network
Where Local Talent and Local Trust Grow Together
HomeNex isn't just a listings page. Providers post their work and build a following. Households cheer them on, leave reviews, and pass their name along to friends. Every endorsement, every comment, every referral makes the next connection a little easier to make.
Growing Together
Providers and Households, Connected by Trust
Some of Our Unique Features
Interactive Portfolio
Group your work into highlights, before-and-afters, seasonal jobs, whatever tells the story best. Households can like and comment, so your portfolio does double duty as social proof.
Spotlight
Households can endorse up to three providers, and those endorsements stay featured on the profile for good. It's word of mouth, just faster and easier to see.
Community and Resources
Beyond the platform, there's an active Discord, a growing blog, and real stories from early providers already doing the work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. There are no lead fees for providers, and no cost for households to browse and connect. HomeNex doesn't take a cut of what you earn or charge you just for getting noticed.
Only as providers, and only if they're 16 or older. Minor accounts are linked to a parent for oversight and notifications. Household accounts are for adults only.
No, not for now. Payments happen off the platform, directly between the household and provider. Most providers list which payment methods they accept right on their profile, so there's no guesswork.
HomeNex covers a wide range of local gigs, from pet care and tutoring to yard work, event help, and creative services. We intentionally don't include licensed trades like plumbing or electrical work. Check out our full list on the Features page.
We do everything we can to help things go smoothly, but HomeNex is a middleman connecting people, not a party to the agreement itself. Households should look through a provider's profile and make their own informed decision before hiring. Once that agreement is made, any issues are between the household and provider directly, along with their own insurance if needed.
If a provider shares their contact info, you can reach out directly. If not, you can send an interest request through their profile, and they'll follow up with you off the platform to talk through the details. Both sides also get a simple built-in calendar to help schedule everything once you're in touch.
Yes. Every provider gets access to simple, easy-to-use tools for managing bookings and client info, nothing overwhelming, just enough structure to help you run things like a real business from day one.
