TaskEasy

TaskEasy operates as an online platform for on-demand exterior property maintenance, connecting property owners with a network of contractors. The company was founded in 2011 by Ken Davis and Joseph Turner and is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. The idea for TaskEasy originated from Ken Davis's own frustrations as a property owner managing maintenance for a portfolio of properties across different cities. He experienced firsthand the difficulties of finding reliable contractors, ensuring fair pricing, and verifying the quality of work. This led him to develop a system to streamline the process of ordering and fulfilling yard services.

The company's business model is centered around its technology platform, which serves both customers and contractors. For customers, including individual homeowners, renters, and large property management firms, TaskEasy offers a simple way to order services like lawn mowing, snow removal, and pool cleaning online or through a mobile app. A key feature is its proprietary pricing algorithm that uses satellite imagery to calculate a property's lawn size and establish fair market pricing, eliminating the need for haggling. Clients can schedule one-time or recurring services, review before-and-after photos for quality assurance, and handle payments through the platform. For contractors, TaskEasy provides a source of new customers without the costs of advertising and bidding. The platform also offers tools to manage scheduling, billing, and customer communication, allowing contractors to focus on service delivery. TaskEasy generates revenue by taking a percentage of each transaction facilitated through its platform.

TaskEasy has a network of over 12,000 screened and insured contractors across all 50 U.S. states, having completed services in more than 12,000 cities. Since its consumer launch in 2013, the company has raised approximately $46.5 million in funding over several rounds. In November 2022, TaskEasy was acquired by WorkWave, a provider of field service software solutions, with the goal of integrating TaskEasy's contractor network to provide a built-in customer source for WorkWave's client base.
