Your Questions, Answered
-
Portyr owns the discovery and coordination of home services—from helping identify the right service to managing scheduling, communication, and follow-through.
We don’t just refer vendors. We reduce the mental load of the entire process.In addition, Portyr helps homeowners proactively manage their homes through timely maintenance reminders and clear explanations of why each maintenance item matters—so small issues are addressed early, saving money and preventing future headaches.
Over time, as Portyr learns more about your home, history, and preferences, the service becomes smarter, more personalized, and more valuable.
-
The waitlist is a priority list as we finish building the product.
When Portyr officially launches, we’ll open a limited number of spots each month to ensure service quality and protect the network. Everyone on the waitlist is considered first as access becomes available.
-
Portyr is launching market by market to protect quality. Early access is limited. Our first market to launch will be Birmingham, AL.
-
Homeowners who value time, clarity, and having one trusted place to manage home services—whether they want light support or full white-glove coordination.
-
Through a mix of vetted professionals and trusted community referrals.
We prioritize reliability, communication, and consistency over volume.
-
We assess the job first, then match it to the right type of provider, not just the category.
For example, not all plumbers or roofers are the same. The more Portyr knows about your home and history, the smarter and more valuable it becomes over time.
-
Portyr replaces Facebook groups and crowd-sourced referrals with a trusted community.
You can request access to friends’ preferred vendors once they approve, and members are rewarded for referrals that strengthen the network.
-
No. Portyr doesn’t perform the work.
We own what we can control—discovery, coordination, communication, and process clarity.
-
Portyr is currently in build and early testing.
We plan to begin onboarding members in phases, starting with limited access once the product is ready. Availability will open gradually to ensure quality and reliability, with priority given to those on the waitlist.
-
Portyr uses a membership and service-based model based on the level of coordination you want. Pricing will be listed once we officially launch.
-
No. Portyr is not a marketplace or lead service.
We source and review multiple quotes on your behalf and support varying levels of coordination—from targeted help to fully white-glove, end-to-end management.
The more coordination you hand off, the more value Portyr delivers. -
Because Portyr doesn’t sell you options — it takes ownership.
Most “free” home service platforms make money by selling your request to multiple contractors. You get more choices, more calls, more follow-ups — and more work. Free isn’t actually free. You pay with your time, attention, and stress.
Portyr works differently.
We don’t list contractors and step away. We:
source trusted, vetted professionals for your specific job
create clear, apples-to-apples scopes so quotes actually make sense
handle outreach, scheduling, and follow-ups
hold vendors accountable through completion
proactively help you stay ahead of home maintenance
That level of coordination takes real work and our incentive is aligned with you, not advertisers or contractors.
You’re not paying for access. You’re paying to stop managing.
