Our Process

HomeMynder wants you to have a happy and healthy home. That means giving it the care it needs, when it needs it. And as every homeowner knows, there's lot to remember if you want to stay ahead of the curve.

The good news is that when it comes to keeping up with home maintenance, HomeMynder has you covered. Here's how:

Comprehensive home maintenance research

The team at HomeMynder has done extensive research into the many causes of wear and tear on a home and what homeowners can do to slow their effects, reduce damage, and prevent costly repairs. When developing our recommendations, we don't assume any two homes are the same or that one plan can meet every home's needs. Instead, we look at how things like geographic location, local weather, age, size, and construction influence maintenance priorities as well as the specific tasks and routines appropriate for any particular home. We distill these insights into a comprehensive library of curated Mynders that cover the full gamut of potential maintenance needs, so homeowners can build a plan that works for them.

Exclusive focus on maintenance reminders

Let's face it, there are a LOT of online services out there to help manage the challenges of home ownership. Need an estimate of your current home value? There's a site for that. Looking for a local cleaning service or repair pro? Yup, lots of those too. Want to network with other DIYers or read advice from pros? Check. And the list goes on.

At HomeMynder, our focus is on one thing and one thing only: helping our users keep up with routine home maintenance. That means we won't distract you with other services or offers you don't need. We spend our time collecting home maintenance data and designing curated plans that make sense for homeowners and help them preserve the comfort and value of their home.

Backed by professional insights

As homeowners ourselves, the team at HomeMynder knows a little something about keeping a home clean and in a good state of repair. But we certainly don't know it all, and what's right for our homes may not be right for yours. That's why we partner with other popular home advice services and publications to develop our expert maintenance recommendations. While our list of sources is too long to show them all, some of our favorites include:

Each of our curated Mynders comes with a pro advice section that provides complete details and recommendations for that task. In most cases, we also provide links to 3rd party articles such as the sources above for users who want to dive deeper on particular maintenance topics.

Maintenance plans that fit your lifestyle

At HomeMynder, we understand that no amount of planning can make a maintenance routine work for you if it doesn't fit your busy lifestyle. So we spend a lot of time thinking about what our users need to make the service work well for them. This is some of what we do:

  • Create pre-set schedules for standard Mynders that get the job done at the right time of the month or year
  • Reduce inbox clutter by bundling Mynders together in consolidated messages whenever possible
  • Let users subscribe only to the Mynders they need and exclude any that they don't
  • Allow fine-grained schedule customization so users can hear from us exactly when they want
