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 fine. The driving is the problem. Hours a week in the truck, between jobs nobody pays them for, while the house next door to the one they're standing at needs the same thing done.
Renolope connects those two things. A pro posts a job they've already booked. Neighbors on that street hear about it and can raise their hand. The pro gets work close by. You get someone your neighbor already trusts.
We're starting small, here in Louisville, a few neighborhoods at a time. It's free for residents, and free for pros while we figure out what's fair.
