Home Advantage
Proactive care. A record of your home. A plan for the maintenance list.
We know your home.
The program starts with a Home Health Assessment and a Cudgel Home Profile: a living record of systems, equipment, model numbers, shutoff locations and service history. Visit notes document the work, findings and items to watch.
Scheduled maintenance first.
Your Cudgel List next.
Home Care Visits begin with scheduled maintenance. Remaining included visit time can be used for eligible repairs and small projects on your Cudgel List, such as a cabinet hinge, sticking door, drywall patch, caulk or towel bar.
Choose the level of care.

What our customers say
These customers participated in trials. Home Advantage is not open for public enrollment.
As a single mom of three, by far the best money I’ve spent on my home.
Andy found a leak in our shower drain during an inspection. I never would have caught it. It would have been full of mold and I’d be redoing drywall in my kitchen. This one visit alone paid for itself three times over!
I’m not the handiest person — this gives me peace of mind that normal upkeep is being done. I also make a list for Brandon, my tech, before each visit and he knocks it out.
My parents were constantly calling about issues in their home. Now it’s all on autopilot. I only wish I’d found it sooner.
