Candu On-Demand Home Services Expands Markets and Trade Offerings, Giving Consumers Access to Convenient, Professional Repairs and More

 

MEMPHIS, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Candu Home Solutions, the on-demand membership service launched by Frontdoor, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTDR), has expanded to four new major metropolitan areas since its rollout in Atlanta late last year. Today, the company announced that along with appliance repairs, it now offers HVAC, plumbing, electrical and garage door repairs to consumers in Atlanta, Houston and Memphis by going to canduhome.com. Homeowners in Denver and Dallas-Fort Worth can schedule repairs for all services except electrical, which is expected to launch later this month.

Candu is uniquely designed to take the guesswork – and hassle – out of home repairs and maintenance. For instance, homeowners can review helpful DIY videos and content to help them decide if it’s something they can handle on their own or if a service professional is needed. Candu offers online booking with appointments typically available the next day, and the technology platform provides service insights so consumers can plan for expected repair time and replacement likelihood based on the information they provide. Diagnosis-only service is available across all trades, and a flat-fee option is available for appliance repairs. All repairs performed under flat-fee pricing are backed by a six-month “Candu Will Do Guarantee.”

“When it comes to home repairs, consumers are looking for clear and simple solutions, peace of mind and great service, and that’s what Candu delivers,” said Frontdoor Chief Executive Officer Rex Tibbens. “I am excited about the momentum we’re building and what our team has accomplished in just a few months. We’re leveraging innovative technology and nearly five decades of experience to re-define the home repair experience.”

Unlike other on-demand home services which are essentially lead generation platforms that simply match consumers with potential service providers, Candu has a much broader mission.

“Candu is designed to be homeowners’ personal go-to resource, guide and advisor throughout their service experience for home repairs and maintenance,” said Tibbens. “Our team has a customer-first mindset, and our on-demand services reflect our commitment to build and deploy tech-enabled, people powered solutions that simplify home ownership.”
