For families in Utah County

Is Mom still living at home, and are you the one managing everything?

We’re in your corner, at no cost to you. One number to text about anything in Mom’s house. We get a pro out there, keep you posted, and if anything isn’t right, we stay on it until it’s made right. Want the upkeep handled too? Mom’s house, looked after: twice a year a tech comes by for the detectors, the filter and a safety walk, and the family gets a report.

Or $49 a month, cancel anytime. Works the same whether you live 20 minutes away or 2 states away. Want the little things handled every month too? See the Helping Hand Plan. Not ready for a plan? Getting a pro out and having us in your corner is still free. Start here.

Mom’s house
Tuesday 12:10 PM
Spring visit at your mom’s is done. New smoke detector batteries, fresh furnace filter, and the sinks, water heater and shutoffs all checked out. Photos are in the house record.
Thank you. She mentioned the kitchen faucet drips too?
He saw it. It needs a new cartridge, so I’m lining up a plumber for a morning she’s home. Members go first. I’ll text you when it’s booked.
Mom’s house · spring visit
Smoke detectors: new batteries
Furnace filter: changed
Kitchen faucet: plumber being booked

Illustration of how a visit update from Eva works.

Sound familiar?

Loving her house shouldn’t mean becoming its project manager.

Mom is doing great. The house is the part that keeps calling. And somehow every call ends up on your phone.

The calls come to you

The faucet drips. The garage door sticks. Mom calls you, and now you’re finding a plumber from your desk between meetings.

You don’t know who to trust

Someone knocks on her door offering to fix the roof. You want the person at her house to be someone you’d actually let in.

Small things wait

A chirping detector, a filter nobody changed, a loose handrail. Small, until they aren’t. And you can’t drive over for every one of them.

We’re in your corner

We’re on your side. It costs you nothing.

Having us in your corner is free. If a pro doesn’t show, we get another one out. And if something isn’t right, we stay on it until it’s made right.

1

Text us about anything

One number for anything in the house. A drip, a breaker, a noisy furnace. You or Mom text Eva.

2

We get a pro out

Licensed where the trade requires one and insured, at a time Mom is home. You hear when it’s booked and when it’s done.

3

Not right? We stay on it

Tell Eva and we get the pro back out. If someone doesn’t show, we get another pro out. We stay on it until it’s made right, at no cost to you.

Mom stays in her home. The house gets looked after. And you get to just be her kid again.

The upkeep happens on a schedule, the repairs are one text, and you hear about all of it without making a single call.

Set up Mom’s house
The Helping Hand Plan

The little things at Mom’s house, handled. Every month.

A pro comes to the house every month and works through her list for up to two hours. The softener salt stays full, one bag every month. $169 a month.

Never climb a ladder again.

The light bulbs up high, the smoke detector batteries, the furnace filter, the softener salt. Every month, it gets done.

No more waiting on a favor.

The little things, handled. The loose handle, the picture to hang, the heavy box to move. Her list gets worked through every month.

Get your weekends back.

Stop driving over every weekend to fix things at Mom’s. Come over for dinner instead.

What gets done

  • Light bulbs changed, the ones up high and the porch light
  • Fresh batteries in the smoke detectors
  • A new furnace filter
  • The softener salt kept full
  • Batteries swapped in remotes, clocks and the thermostat
  • Thermostat set so it’s warm when she wakes up
  • Nightlights plugged in for the hallway and bathroom
  • Loose door handles, towel bars and the wobbly toilet seat tightened
  • Pictures and mirrors hung
  • Boxes carried to storage and the big delivery brought inside
  • Hoses in and faucet covers on before the freeze
  • The Christmas tree up, and the holiday boxes back in storage

Every month, plus spring and fall

Every month, a pro at the house working through her list for up to two hours, and a fresh bag of softener salt.

Spring and fall, the visit runs longer for the safety check: smoke and CO detectors tested with fresh batteries, a new furnace filter, a safety walk and a report to whoever you want. Then up to two hours on her list.

Everything in the membership comes with it. Bigger jobs? Text Eva and she gets the right pro out.

$169 / month

The membership

Mom’s house, looked after.

Everything the house needs to stay on track, without you running it. Here’s what’s included.

1

Two home visits a year

Spring and fall, a tech comes to the house: smoke and CO detectors tested with fresh batteries, a new furnace filter, and a safety walk through the house. A report goes to whoever you want.

2

A licensed, insured pro

Licensed where the trade requires one, with insurance on file before they ever go to Mom’s house.

3

The house record, kept for you

Eva keeps track of the house: what was done and when, who did it, how old the furnace and water heater are, and the photos from every visit. It belongs to the homeowner.

4

Seasonal reminders

Sprinklers in spring and fall, the furnace before winter, the things a house needs on a calendar. Eva remembers so nobody has to.

5

An update after every visit and every job

What was done, what was found, and what’s next. You hear it by text, wherever you live, without chasing anyone.

6

Any repair is one text, and members come first

Something breaks? You or Mom text Eva. She lines up a trusted local pro, and members go to the front of the line.

Three ways to start

Free
$0

One number to text about anything in the house. We get the right pro out and stay on it until it’s made right. You pay the pro for the work, at their best standard rate. Using us never raises the price.

Best value
Membership
$499 / year

Everything above, for the whole year. Saves $89 compared with $49 a month.

The Helping Hand Plan
$169 / month

A pro at the house every month working through the list for up to two hours. Softener salt kept full, and everything in the membership.

The membership pays for the two visits and the supplies, plus the house record and the updates. Getting a pro out for anything else, and having us in your corner, is free to everyone, member or not. Any repair is billed by the pro, directly to the homeowner, at the pro’s own price.

How it works

Join once. Eva takes it from there.

1

Tell us about the house

Two minutes. Your name, Mom’s address and the plan you want.

2

We set up the first visit

We send you a secure payment link, then book the first visit for a time Mom is home.

3

The visit, and your update

The pro does the list. You get a text with what was done, what was found and the photos.

4

Anything else is one text

A drip, a breaker, a noisy furnace. You or Mom text Eva, and she handles it. You set the spending limit, and over it Eva checks with you first.

One leak, start to finish

Water under the sink at 7:02 PM. Fixed by lunch the next day.

  1. 7:02 PM

    “Water coming out under the kitchen sink.” One text and a photo.

  2. 7:03 PM

    Eva sends the shutoff steps first: the two valves under the sink, turn right until they stop.

  3. 7:06 PM

    “It’s off.” Water stopped. Four minutes from the first text.

  4. 7:07 PM

    Eva asks: walk you through the fix, or have a plumber come? You pick the plumber. Since the water’s off, she books first thing in the morning so you don’t pay after-hours rates.

  5. 8:15 AM

    A vetted, licensed and insured local plumber is confirmed for 10:30.

  6. 11:10 AM

    Fixed. Eva checks in to make sure it stays fixed, and you pay the plumber directly.

You sent two texts. No calling around, no after-hours bill, nothing to keep track of.

Example of how a job runs.

Near or far

20 minutes away or 2 states away. Same text.

Everything happens by text, so you don’t need to be there. No taking a morning off to wait for a repairman. No chasing callbacks from another time zone.

Mom lets the pro in, or tells Eva who will. You get the update either way. She keeps running her house. You just stop being the switchboard.

What Eva handles

If it’s about the house, it’s one text.

Repairs and maintenance

  • Leaks, drains, faucets and water heaters
  • Furnace and air conditioning
  • Outlets, lights and electrical
  • Roof and gutters
  • Appliances and garage doors
  • Doors, windows, drywall and small fixes
  • Yard care, snow removal and pest control
  • The seasonal stuff: furnace before winter, sprinklers in spring and fall

Trusted pros at the door

Every pro Eva sends for a repair is licensed where the trade requires one, with insurance on file before the first job. Already have a guy Mom trusts? Tell Eva and she’ll call him first.

What families ask first

Questions

Do I pay Texteva?

Having us in your corner is free, member or not. You pay the pro for the work, and contractors pay Texteva a referral fee for the work we send them. That fee is never added to your bill. Every pro we send agrees in writing to give you their best standard rate, the one a good repeat customer gets, and never to charge you more because the job came through Texteva.

You have three choices: free, where you just text Eva and we get the right pro out; the membership, $499 a year or $49 a month, for the twice-a-year visits and the house record; or the Helping Hand Plan, $169 a month, for a pro at the house every month working through the list.

What if the pro does a bad job or doesn’t show?

Text Eva. If the work isn’t right, we get the pro back out. If someone doesn’t show, we get another pro out. We stay on it until it’s made right, at no cost to you.

Who are your pros?

Local pros, licensed where the trade requires one, with insurance on file before the first job. If a pro doesn’t show, we get another one out. Already have someone Mom trusts? Tell Eva and she’ll call him first.

What does the membership pay for?

The two visits a year and the supplies: smoke and CO detectors tested with fresh batteries, a new furnace filter, a safety walk through the house, and a report to whoever you want. You also get the house record and a text after every visit.

Getting a pro out for anything else, and having us in your corner, is free to everyone.

What happens at a visit?

Twice a year, spring and fall, a tech comes to the house. They test the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and put in fresh batteries, change the furnace filter, walk the house for safety issues, look under the sinks for leaks, check the water heater and make sure the shutoffs are marked. Afterward, a report with what was done, what was found and photos goes to whoever you want: you, your daughter, the whole family.

If something needs a licensed trade or an inspector, Eva lines one up.

What’s the Helping Hand Plan?

The Helping Hand Plan is $169 a month. Every month a pro comes to the house and works through the list for up to two hours: light bulbs changed, fresh smoke detector batteries, a new furnace filter, pictures and mirrors hung, loose handles and towel bars tightened, the heavy stuff moved. The softener salt is kept full, one bag every month.

Spring and fall, the visit runs longer for the safety check, then up to two hours on the list. It includes everything in the membership, and bigger jobs are one text to Eva.

What happens when something breaks?

You or Mom text Eva. A lot of house things don’t need a pro, and Eva walks you through those by text. When it does take a pro, she lines up a trusted local one for a time Mom is home, and members go to the front of the line. You hear when it’s booked and when it’s done.

I live out of state. Does this still work?

Yes. Everything happens by text. You don’t need to be there for a visit or a repair. Mom lets the pro in, or tells Eva who will, and you get the update wherever you are.

What do repairs cost?

The membership covers the two visits and the supplies, the house record and the updates. Any repair is billed by the pro, directly to the homeowner, at the pro’s own price. When it makes sense, Eva gets more than one quote so you can compare and pick. Nothing is added to the bill by us.

Will Mom feel like we’re taking over?

No. It’s her house and her call. The visits are upkeep, the same things she’d have someone do anyway. Mom can text Eva herself, or you can. Nothing changes about how she lives.

Set up Mom’s house today.

The membership is $499 a year, or $49 a month. The Helping Hand Plan is $169 a month. The first visit gets booked as soon as you join.
