TaskEasy

TaskEasy operates an online platform for exterior property maintenance, allowing homeowners, property managers and real estate professionals to order lawn mowing, snow removal and related yard services at a set price without bidding or negotiation. Customers enter an address, receive an instant quote generated from digital property measurement and local market rates, and book one-time or recurring weekly or bi-weekly service; work is automatically scheduled based on local seasonal weather conditions. Business customers can upload entire property lists to a client portal and manage a portfolio of properties through a single application.

On the supply side, TaskEasy assigns paying jobs directly to a vetted network of independent landscape contractors rather than selling leads. Contractors receive free route optimization and crew management software, a mobile app, direct payouts without invoicing, and a single point of contact. Contractors must pass a screening process and carry insurance, and they document each job with before-and-after photographs that TaskEasy staff review as a quality check. The company backs consumer jobs with a money-back satisfaction guarantee.

TaskEasy's segments include single-family rentals, build-to-rent operators, iBuyers, commercial property and individual homeowners. In November 2022 field service software provider WorkWave announced its acquisition of TaskEasy, with the stated intent of giving WorkWave customers access to additional jobs in their local regions and letting TaskEasy expand service offerings across WorkWave's national customer base.

Business model

TaskEasy runs a two-sided marketplace: it sells exterior maintenance services (lawn mowing, snow removal, pool cleaning, yard care) directly to homeowners, property managers and portfolio owners at fixed, algorithmically set prices, then dispatches the work to independent local contractors who are paid for completed jobs. Contractors pay nothing to access jobs and are supplied with free routing, crew-management and billing tools, while TaskEasy handles pricing, scheduling, quality verification and payment.

Revenue derives from the sale of services to property owners and managers, priced by a proprietary formula that sets a fair market rate per property based on digital measurement and local market conditions, with one-time and recurring weekly or bi-weekly plans; contractors are compensated per completed job rather than charged for leads.

Traction

TaskEasy reported delivering over $10 million in services and more than 400,000 completed tasks across 4,800-plus cities with over 5,000 contractors by April 2016; more than 1 million cumulative services in over 10,000 cities by November 2017. Current site figures cite over 1 million jobs annually, 800,000 properties served, 12,000 cities and 14,000 contractors, with the contractor page noting management of over 100,000 properties and work with 90% of the largest single-family rental companies.

Latest developments

WorkWave, a field service software provider headquartered in Holmdel, New Jersey, announced on November 1, 2022 that it had acquired TaskEasy, positioning the marketplace to give WorkWave customers access to more jobs in their local regions while TaskEasy uses WorkWave's national customer base to expand its service offerings. Preceding that, in July 2021 TaskEasy and The Home Depot launched a program bringing commercial gas DEWALT mowers to TaskEasy's contractor network.
