Hour LLC: The Real-Time Tracking of On-Demand Local Service Providers is Coming

BRICK, N.J., May 29, 2020 (Newswire.com) - ​​Ever lose heat in the middle of winter? How about losing A/C in the middle of summer? Ever sprung a plumbing leak? Ever wanted to see a property as a home buyer and couldn't see it at the time most convenient? 

Hour, a new on-demand home services startup based in New Jersey, is developing a patent-pending comprehensive, on-demand, GPS-tracked urgent home services app and website platform where local service providers will be able to accept job requests from homeowners within a short radius for a fraction of the price of the major competitors in the industry. By the first quarter of 2021, Hour LLC will be fully operational in New Jersey first, then scaled out further and further as the business grows until they are nationwide by 2026. Licensed HVAC contractors, plumbers, electricians, and Realtors will now be able to literally sign up with their active license number and begin viewing and accepting local urgent job requests based on their GPS location. Hour is currently working with solvent investors, as well as developers from a well-known company that works with the Department of Defense, NJIT, Stacker 2, ShredZ, Toyota, Stewart's Root Beer, and countless other major entities. 

The current companies in the space today sell the home owner's information to multiple contractors and Realtors, all whom contact the same poor individual usually within the span of a couple days. This leads to frustrated individuals who have to deal with their phone ringing off the hook and emails being blasted by companies all looking to get their business. Hour seeks to prevent this by only allowing one contractor or Realtor at a time to accept a service request. As it is accepted, the homeowner can then watch the independent contractor in real-time on a GPS map as they drive to the target location, just like a taxi app. 

According to Hour founders' own statements, "We are relying on ancient technology from the major competitors in the space to help grow our other businesses- it's unacceptable." They saw the marketplace needed a solution, and they jumped in. 

Hour is founded and managed by Patrick Pezzello and Edward Hammill. However, the two are not engineers, but business owners and entrepreneurs. Both are independent contractors, Patrick is a Realtor and a General Contractor & Edward is an HVAC Contractor. This has helped them shape the idea to perfection because they've both personally been a part of the competition and know the defects. 

Pezzello says: “As we look towards the future of home servicing, it’s essential to invest in solutions that work to reduce stress on both ends of the deal while providing consumers with the fastest, safest alternative.” He says, “I am a firm believer in Hour and the role it will play in ushering in the next age of on-demand home services." ​
