Launching at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco last month was a startup called HouseFix. As you might be able to guess by its name, HouseFix is a startup and service that aims to help you find the right people to fix up your house. Started by homeowners and contractors, the startup is trying to make the process of finding skilled labor for home repairs better for both parties. To do this, HouseFix wants to give homeowners a CARFAX report for their house -- a complete history of facts about their house that includes a list of improvement projects or anything that future homeowners would find relevant. To differentiate itself from other providers like Angie's List or ServiceMagic, HouseFix is bringing social and local contexts to homeowners in a simple and intuitive way, so that they can quickly identify local contractors that fit their personal criteria for what kind of labor they're looking for, pricing, etc. The startup wants you to be able to find contractors you can trust in a matter of minutes, not days or weeks.
