SERVICE PROVIDERS CAN BE RATED Rugby player Renaldo Bothma is the founder of homeowners’ dream app.

At last, an app to help fix any household-related issue at the push of a button. HomeFixer was recently launched by Renaldo Bothma, 2018 Namibian rugby captain and UK Harlequins player. It is a free mobile app that puts users in touch with tradesmen, service providers and companies involved in the home-improvement industry.

With an aim to take the pain out of household renovations and maintenance, the app is simple to use and assists users in finding rated service providers using its location functionality, while also providing the capability to obtain quotes from multiple companies.

Free to download from the app store in both Android and IOS, it boasts an emergency function, giving access to service providers who offer 24-hour assistance.

Bothma, founder and managing director, says: “We are very proud of the app and believe in its power to assist anyone needing a recommended service provider for home improvements. There are several features we have included within the app to not only assist the user, but also make using it an easy, pleasant and successful experience.”

Aside from a clean and easy-touse design, the app allows for keyword searches, location services, listing details, click actions and quote request options.

“We have worked hard to provide users with a comprehensive service for all household maintenance and renovations.”

Also included is a rating and review system.

Bothma says once a customer has downloaded and used the app, they are able to rate and review the service they received: “This helps ensure it only uses reputable and skilled service providers and will also assist in building trust with customers.”

Bothma is encouraging not only users, but also service providers to utilise the app and grow a community of home improvement specialists and users.
