Home Gnome matches homeowners with qualified, experienced pool techs. You see the job scope and your payout before you accept. We handle customers, billing, and support — and you get paid even if we don't. Spots may be limited in your area.
You've been cleaning pools professionally. You know your chemistry, you have your own equipment, and you don't need to Google how a sand filter works.
We prefer Certified Pool Operators. If you're licensed or certified in your state, that works in your favor. Not certified yet? You can still apply — but know we vet everyone.
We run a standard background check through Checkr as part of the onboarding process. This protects your customers and keeps the platform trustworthy for everyone.
No lead fees. No competing with four other techs for the same job. Just pool work near your existing route, with your payout shown upfront before you accept.
We match you with recurring weekly customers — same homeowner, same route, every week. No bidding, no rotation. You see the full job scope and your payout before you accept.
We collect from the homeowner. You get paid every Monday — even if they don't pay. Tips are 100% yours.
Already have your own customers? Use Home Gnome to fill route gaps and add density. Starting fresh? We have the customers — you bring the skills. No contracts, no minimum commitments.
No lengthy application. No waiting weeks for approval. Pass our pool pro assessment and you could be on a route tomorrow.
Browse jobs, accept work, track your route, submit service reports, and get paid — all from the Home Gnome Pro app. Available on iOS and Android.
Most platforms make you pay to find customers, then compete with three other techs for the same lead. We work differently.
