Dobby: Quality Home Services 4+

Great home maintenance app

Dobby is more than a home maintenance app, it’s a community of experts that can help you with almost anything you need for your house.

I’ve been using Dobby for over a year now and I’ve been impressed. I’ve been impressed with those that operate the app who are responsive to homeowner concerns and questions, and I’m impressed at the quality of the people they have in their system. To date I haven’t had any issues with any of the things we’ve needed done on our house. The prices that the contractors charge are pretty fair and dobby doesn’t slap you with a crazy high % for using their services. Additionally, the admins at dobby will be honest and if there’s nobody in their system designed to handle the project you want, they’ll let you know. That doesn’t happen often, but they won’t just send some guy to do work they aren’t trained or knowledgeable in.

The app is easy to use and they continue to update it with new services and abilities. The only thing that I would like to see integrated would be the ability for multiple contractors to provide estimates on your project, if it’s a big project. That way we don’t need to ask for multiple quotes, it’s something we could select in the project submitting process.

I highly recommend this app to any homeowner that has trouble doing housework themselves.

Developer Response ,

You inspired us to launch Dobby Community, where homeowners can hear from other homeowners and from some of our best service pros and home inspectors on anything they need help with! Thank you for using Dobby.

We have also updated our workflow to include multiple quotation for larger jobs. Thank you for the feedback!

Efficient and effective, saving time and stress

I was reluctant to hire through a referral service after mixed success with three different ones over decades of home ownership, but the reviews were good on and my time is scarce. I used only one of the three referral services a second time, but the cost is double and I have returned to hiring an individual directly for this routine bi-monthly service. I would definitely use Dobby again.

Dobby is different because the cost was reasonable, compared to hiring on my own, and I had two people helping me, not just the one to do the work, but also another to schedule the work. Dobby is available not only to communicate issues like delays in arrival, but also to troubleshoot during the service itself.

Thank you for your support and love! We're so happy that you are finding Dobby useful. We look forward to growing Dobby with you and our community of homeowners and local small businesses.

Takes away the hardest part

For me, the most annoying part of getting things done around our house is having to research all the professionals in the area who provide the service, contact them, get quotes, and actually schedule the work. Dobby does all of the hard parts for you! If you want to be able to compare multiple quotes, you can’t do that with Dobby. But if you have an idea of around what you’re willing to pay for something and you want someone quick and professional picked for you, Dobby will help you get it done! We have used this app for multiple projects — tree stump removal, TV mounting, and a plumbing project — and have had fantastic and quick service every time!
