HomeX

Comprehensive home repair and maintenance services

About HomeX

HomeX provides a range of home repair services designed to assist homeowners with maintenance and repair needs. The company offers two main services: virtual technical assistance and in-home repair services. Through the Remote Assist service, clients can connect with a technician via call or video chat to receive expert advice and troubleshooting, which helps save time and costs. If the issue cannot be resolved virtually, HomeX can arrange for an in-home visit to ensure the problem is addressed effectively. HomeX's pricing is flexible, tailored to the specific project, allowing clients to pay only for the services they require. This approach makes HomeX different from competitors by combining virtual support with the option for in-person assistance, creating a seamless experience for homeowners. The goal of HomeX is to simplify the home repair process, making it more accessible and less frustrating for homeowners.
