Why Home Gnome

No lead fees. No chasing payments.
No surprises.

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.

Less drive time. More pools.

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.

Guaranteed weekly pay.

We collect from the homeowner. You get paid every Monday — even if they don't pay. Tips are 100% yours.

Fill gaps. Or build from scratch.

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.

Don't Pay For Leads You'll Never See.

Stop paying for leads.
Start growing your pool business.

Most platforms make you pay to find customers, then compete with three other techs for the same lead. We work differently.

No lead fees. Ever.
Angi charges $15–$80 per lead — whether you win the job or not. With Home Gnome, you never pay to connect with a customer.
You see your payout before you accept.
No bidding. No negotiating. No discovering the job wasn't worth your time after you've already driven there.
We collect. You don't chase.
Payment is handled entirely by Home Gnome. You complete the job, submit your report, and the money shows up Monday. No invoices, no awkward follow-ups.
You get paid even if the customer doesn't.
We take on the collection risk, not you. Complete the job, submit your report, and the money shows up Monday — regardless of whether the homeowner pays on time.
Top-rated pros get first pick.
The more jobs you complete, the higher your priority in the queue. Top pros get first access to new jobs in their area — your reputation compounds on the platform.

Who is this for

Built for pros who take their work seriously.

You do great work.

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.

CPO preferred.

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.

Background check required.

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.

Is this a fit?

The pool pros who get the most out of Home Gnome.

You already have a client base and want to fill your schedule.
Most of our pros use Home Gnome to add stops without spending anything on marketing. Your existing route stays yours — we just help you build around it.
You want recurring weekly customers you can count on.
One-off cleanings don't build a business. Home Gnome connects you with homeowners who need ongoing weekly service — the kind of customers that compound over time.
You're done chasing payments.
Every job pays on time, guaranteed. We collect from the homeowner and pay you every Monday — whether they pay us or not. No more awkward calls, no more outstanding invoices.
