Company profile
researched Aug 2026Homeco (νμ½) is a Korean home repair and maintenance service that handles residential repair jobs end to end, from estimate through completion. Its service catalogue covers lighting and light-fixture replacement, faucet replacement, bathroom repair, kitchen repair, drain unclogging, door locks, intercoms, door repair, wallpapering (dobae) and tile repair, with customers able to request several different jobs through a single point of contact rather than sourcing separate contractors for each task.
The company positions itself around three stated features: a standard price list intended to remove add-on charges after the initial quote, bundling of multiple repair types into one booking, and work performed by experienced in-house technicians. It advertises a free on-site inspection before quoting, an industry-first standard pricing scheme, technicians with an average of ten or more years of experience, and a one-year free after-service warranty on all completed work (limited to workmanship when the customer supplies the product themselves). Customers can request a free quote by phone, chat or a web form that accepts photographs of the problem area, and quotes are delivered via KakaoTalk. Payment is accepted by card, cash or bank transfer, with cash receipts and tax invoices issued for non-card payments.
The company's site states that it holds venture business certification, has attracted institutional investment and technology investment from Korea's Ministry of SMEs and Startups, and that its founding story has been covered by Maeil Business Newspaper.
Business model
Homeco sells residential repair and small-renovation jobs directly to homeowners and tenants, quoting from a standard price list after a free on-site inspection and executing the work with its own directly employed technicians rather than referring customers to third-party contractors. Revenue comes from the repair work itself; estimates are free of charge and a one-year free after-service warranty is included.
Traction
The company's site reports that 10,520 people have used its consultation service to date and cites a customer recommendation score of 97, alongside customer testimonials from the Banpo, Bangbae and Nonhyeon neighbourhoods.

Market position
Homeco contrasts its model with the conventional process of finding, comparing and contacting individual contractors, citing three points of difference: a standard price list under which the initial quote is the final price, consolidation of multiple repair categories into a single request, and directly employed veteran technicians with a one-year free after-service guarantee. It emphasises a free on-site inspection to surface job-specific difficulty factors (cramped spaces, corroded fittings) before quoting rather than pricing over the phone.
Go-to-market
Customers are acquired through the company's website, where a free-quote form collects a phone number, a description of the problem and optional photos, with quotes returned via KakaoTalk; phone and chat consultation are also offered through a 1555-5033 call centre. The site displays customer reviews by district and a customer recommendation score of 97, and notes that repeat customers and referrals can be served outside the standard coverage area depending on operating conditions.
Residential occupants β homeowners and renters, including one-room/studio dwellers β in specific districts of the Seoul metropolitan area who need small to mid-sized home repairs such as fixture replacement, bathroom and kitchen repairs, drain clearing, door locks, wallpapering and tile work.
