Welcome Henry: Your Trusted Home Concierge in Richmond

In Richmond, a new player has entered the home services market that promises to change the way homeowners manage and maintain their properties. Henry, a home concierge service, officially launched today after a successful private beta that involved 50 local homeowners. Its mission is clear: to eliminate the uncertainty and hassle that often accompany home maintenance.

The co-founders, Aaron Montgomery and Will Boland, have both endured the frustrations of homeownership first-hand. Drawing from their personal experiences, they envisioned a service that would empower homeowners to handle their biggest asset more efficiently and confidently. Montgomery articulated this sentiment perfectly when he said, "Owning a home should be one of life's greatest joys—but too often, it becomes one of life's biggest headaches."

Taking the Guesswork Out of Homeownership

Henry's approach offers a unique solution; it starts with a comprehensive home assessment that evaluates over 150 different factors, including fire hazards, potential water intrusions, and air quality issues. The findings are distilled into a user-friendly dashboard that highlights urgent issues, provides repair estimates, and connects homeowners with trusted tradespeople.

Imagine viewing a simple report that identifies problems in your home and offers practical next steps to remedy them. This innovative service acts like a "primary care physician for your home," according to Boland, who highlights the company's goal of helping homeowners navigate those overwhelming moments when a problem arises.

Henry also utilizes an AI assistant named Hank. This feature allows homeowners to consult on DIY projects and receive personalized maintenance tips via text message. It promises to enhance communication between the homeowner and their home, making it easier to keep track of maintenance needs.

Expert Guidance When You Need It Most

Steve Osberger, who oversees field operations at Henry, plays a vital role in ensuring that homeowners feel both safe and informed. His expert guidance means that typical assessments can reveal hidden issues that, if left unattended, could lead to costly repairs down the line. He notes, "The typical Henry assessment uncovers at least two issues that could cost thousands if ignored."

So far, feedback from homeowners in Richmond has been overwhelmingly positive. One beta user shared, “I received a comprehensive dashboard detailing every appliance, risk factor, and potential health issue. Now, any time I need to remember something about my home, it's all neatly organized. Henry has completely changed the way I think about preventative maintenance.”

A New Era in Home Maintenance

Currently serving the greater Richmond area, Henry is positioned to bring a level of transparency and support to homeowners that has often been lacking in traditional home care. For anyone interested in ensuring their home remains a joy rather than a burden, Henry is a service worth exploring.
