Home Service

A handyman team made up of and run by people with mental health challenges. Riding bicycles and driving their electric vans, they travel throughout the city to perform odd jobs for fellow residents who are unable to do them themselves. The Homeservice team knows from personal experience what it means to face adversity and is happy to lend a helping hand.

The Homeservice job coaches ensure that the tasks are completed with care and in a pleasant manner.

How does it work?

Homeservice’s service providers perform odd jobs for people who are unable to do them themselves and who have no one else to help them.

Homeservice performs various types of odd jobs:

Small household tasks (such as hanging a light fixture or replacing a lock)
Yard work
Installing laminate flooring
Small and large moving and transportation jobs
Cleanup jobs (not including packing for a move)

The cost for the jobs is €10 per worker per day. You pay for the necessary materials yourself. Homeservice operates in Amsterdam, Weesp, and Diemen.

You can find more information about the jobs, liability, costs, and parking here.
