Amazon expands home services

Consumers in more cities will soon be able to turn to the nation’s largest e-commerce retailer to find help for home chores and services.



Amazon said it is expanding Amazon Home Services into 20 new metropolitan areas across the country, including Indianapolis; Las Vegas; San Antonio, Texas; Ann Arbor, Mich.; Cleveland, Ohio; Trenton, N.J., and more. Launched in 2015, the service now includes providers from almost 60 professions offering more than 1,200 unique services.



“Today, customers can search over 1,200 unique services from pros in over 60 professions – from house cleaning, to lawn work and beyond,” said Nish Lathia, general manager of Amazon Home Services. “The availability of Home Services in more cities means that more customers can quickly find and schedule the help they need around the house heading into the holiday season.”



Amazon Home Services features handpicked pros offering upfront pricing on hundreds of services. Local service providers opt-in to where they operate and the services they provide. Customers purchasing items on Amazon that require assembly or installation can include the service as part of their checkout process, or they can read reviews and schedule services directly on the division’s website.
