Same-day home services from crews already in your neighborhood
When a crew has an open slot nearby, DoorYard sends you their offer — with the price right in the notification. One tap books it.
We open one neighborhood at a time. Telling us where you are is how your street gets on the map — there is nothing to install yet.
The idea
The most under-used asset in home services is a route that is already moving.
A crew that finishes early has an hour of capacity worth almost nothing to them and a great deal to the house four doors down. Today there is no way for those two facts to find each other. Phone calls, yard signs and lead fees are the whole system. DoorYard is the missing piece: a priced, same-day offer that goes only to households who asked for it, only when a crew is genuinely close by.
Idle capacity, not more leads
The gap in a crew's afternoon already exists. The marginal cost of one more job on a route they are already driving is fuel and an hour — which is what makes a same-day price worth offering in the first place.
Neighborhood, not city-wide
Offers are aimed at a real neighborhood, not a metro area or a ZIP code. If a crew isn't close enough to actually show up today, your phone stays quiet.
Booked work, not phone numbers
Crews pay when a job is actually booked. Nobody buys a lead that never answers, so nobody has to chase you to make the economics work.
How it works
Three steps, then your phone goes quiet again
Tell us about your home
Your address places your home in its neighborhood. You pick which services you want to hear about — and nothing else reaches you.
A nearby crew has an opening
You get one notification with the crew, the work, the time window and the price. No quotes to chase, no callbacks, no haggling.
Tap once to book
That's the whole booking. When the work is done you get photos as proof, and a short rating — on time, quality, would you rebook.

Who it's for
Built first for the people who find booking hardest
Paying for home services was never the difficult part. Finding someone, checking they're real, and getting them scheduled is. DoorYard is designed around three households where that gap bites hardest.
Homeowners staying in their own home
No passwords, no app maze, no phone tree. One clear action per screen, large type and large buttons, and an offer that already has the price on it.
Family looking after a parent's house
Manage a home you don't live in — from another state if you need to. See what was booked, what was completed, and the photos that prove it.
Hosts and owners of rental property
Keep several properties turned over without living near any of them, and filter to crews whose insurance has actually been verified.
For service crews
Fill the empty hours on routes you already drive
Pick the neighborhood you're working in today, set a price and a window, and send. Every household that gets it has already said they want to hear about that kind of work. The ones who say yes are booked before you've packed up.
Underneath the offers is the rest of the day: today's route on a map, jobs and crew assignments, proof photos, your regulars, invoices, and a plain report of what DoorYard actually added to your revenue after fees.

- You set the price. Every offer goes out with it attached.
- You pay on booked work — never for a lead.
- Offers only go out when you're genuinely nearby.
- Skip your existing customers so you never pay to reach them twice.
Trust & privacy
The rules we built in before we built anything else
A product that puts strangers in front of houses has to be careful in ways a shopping app does not. These aren't settings buried three screens deep — they're how the thing works.
Your address is released only when you book
An offer reaches your neighborhood, not your doorstep. A crew learns which house is yours at the moment you accept their offer — never before, and never from a message thread.
Every category is opt-in, and every one is revocable
You choose the services you want to hear about and the channel they arrive on. Turning any of it off is one tap, and it takes effect on the next send — not eventually.
Quiet hours are not optional
Nothing reaches you outside 8:00 am to 9:00 pm in your own local time — the same rule for push notifications and text messages alike.
Nine real signals instead of one star
Crews are measured on things that come out of completed jobs — on-time rate, repeat bookings, response speed, completion, cancellations, neighborhood loyalty, verified insurance and time on the platform. Shown separately, never blended into a single score, and honest about which ones are still building.
No cold messages
You can only be messaged by a crew you have real booking history with. There is no inbox for strangers, which is also why your address can't leak through one.
You can delete your account from inside the app
No email to support, no waiting period. Identifying information is removed; anonymized operational records remain. How deletion works →
About us
DoorYard LLC, a Vervelio company
DoorYard is built and operated by DoorYard LLC, a company of Vervelio — a software studio in Detroit, Michigan that builds and runs its own products rather than taking client work.
We started with lawn care because it is the clearest version of the problem: a route that repeats every week, capacity that expires at the end of the day, and neighbors who would have said yes if anyone had asked them in time. The mechanic underneath it — a crew is nearby, nearby homes hear about it, a tap fills the gap — is the same for snow, gutters, windows and everything else whose workers travel.
We are opening one neighborhood at a time, on purpose. An offer is only worth sending into a street where enough neighbors are listening, so we build density before we sell anyone on it.
Where things stand
The DoorYard web app is built and tested end to end — the full loop from a crew targeting a neighborhood through to a booked, completed and rated job. The mobile apps are on their way to the App Store and Google Play.
We haven't opened public sign-ups yet. We're seeding neighborhoods first, then inviting the crews who serve them. If you tell us where you are, that's what decides where we go next.
Tell us your street. That's how it gets picked next.
Whether you own a home, look after someone else's, or drive a route past a hundred of them every week — knowing where you are is what decides which neighborhood opens next.
