I'm Dan, and I'm from Louisville. Renolope started with a simple habit: when something needed doing around the house, I asked a neighbor who they used.
The names were always good. The distance wasn't. The gutter guy was coming from the other side of the Watterson. The HVAC tech had three more stops across the county that day.
When I started asking pros about it, they all said the same thing. The work is great, the people are great, the commute is terrible. Hours a week in the truck, driving between jobs, while the house next door to the one they're standing at needs the same thing done.
Renolope connects the pro with the neighborhood. When a pro posts a job, we tell the whole neighborhood, so that we both can cut out the commute.
We're starting small, here in Louisville, a few neighborhoods at a time. Free for residents. Pros get leads free and pay only on confirmed jobs.
