We're Valla —
Built for the Block, By the Block.
We believe reliable home services shouldn't feel like a corporate hassle. We're a local marketplace designed to connect you with the people who actually know your neighborhood.
A leaky faucet and a great neighbor sparked it all.
It started in 2016 with a simple annoyance: a dripping faucet and a neighbor, Sarah, who offered to fix it but was too booked with her own landscaping business to take the call. Elena realized then that the market for home services was broken.
There was no easy way to find a trusted neighbor who could fix a sink, mow a lawn, or assemble furniture. So, Valla was born from a simple mission: to make local help reliable, fair, and joyful. We aren't just a platform; we're a digital extension of your block.
To make local help reliable, fair, and joyful.
We strip away the friction of home maintenance. No surprise fees, no ghosting, no rigid scheduling. Just human connections, honest work, and a neighborhood that actually works for you.
Four pillars of what we stand for
Trust First
We verify every pro, screen every customer, and guard your data. Your home is your sanctuary, and we take the security of that space seriously.
True Craft
We don't just want help; we want quality. We pay pros fairly so they can invest in their tools and skills, ensuring your project gets done right.
Community Focus
We are hyper-local. We prioritize pros who live in your zip code and support neighborhood initiatives that keep our streets clean and green.
Radical Transparency
No hidden fees, no confusing contracts. You see the price upfront, you track the pro in real-time, and you pay only for what you agree upon.
The humans behind the hardware
A diverse group of engineers, designers, and neighbors working to fix the way home services work.
Elena Rodriguez
"I just want my faucet to stop dripping."
Marcus Chen
"Building the bridge between tech and tools."
Priya Patel
"Vetting is our love language."
David O'Connor
"Keeping the trucks rolling and the lights on."
From a basement to your doorstep
