Book a free consultation.
For homeowners
Your home. Your independence. Less to manage.
When something needs attention, call Homeward First. We find the right professional, coordinate the work, and follow through.
You stay in control. We handle the coordination.
For families
You don't have to become the manager of your parent's house.
The AC stops working. The electrician needs access. A contractor needs a decision. A project stalls.
Homeward First becomes the local point person for the house.
One call. Whatever the house needs next.
- Repairs
- Maintenance
- Recurring services
- Contractors & estimates
- Inspections
- Home projects
This isn't a list of contractors or a service-request platform. Homeward First is an ongoing management relationship. We learn your home, know what needs attention, work with the people who service it, follow through on repairs and projects, and bring you the decisions that actually need you.
We handle the follow-up, organize the options, and bring you clear decisions instead of another problem to manage.
Already have people you trust? Keep them.
Your pool service, gardener, pest company, cleaner, alarm company, and HVAC company can stay in place.
Homeward First becomes their point person.
We handle the routine scheduling, access, questions, service issues, and follow-up. When something needs your approval or a larger decision, that's when we bring you in.

Not sure who to call? That's the point. Call us first.
We respond to every message within 4 business hours. For urgent issues, we're on site within 48 hours.
A house doesn't manage itself.
01
Manage it yourself
Find. Schedule. Compare. Coordinate. Follow up. Repeat.
02
Let things wait
Maintenance gets deferred. Projects stall. The list grows.
03
Give the house a point person
Call Homeward First. We take it from there.
You're not paying us to fix one problem. You're hiring us so you don't have to manage every problem.
How it works
- 01
Knows your home.
Starts with a full assessment. We document every system, its age, and its risks, then build your Home Plan. Nothing about your house lives in your head anymore.
- 02
Runs the work.
We scope it, collect the estimates, review every line, and stand on site while it's done. You approve one proposal. We take no markup on contractor work.
- 03
Owns the result.
Weekly updates and a short decision list, so you only weigh in where it matters. We respond within 4 business hours. If a contractor ghosts, fixing it is our problem, not yours.
No chasing contractors. No wondering what happened. No managing the house through texts and sticky notes.

Our firm
Why I started Homeward First
English & Spanish
A few years ago, I moved four hours away from my mom. Before long, more and more of our calls were about the house: an outrageous estimate, a contractor who stopped responding, another repair that needed to be handled.
Eventually, I moved back.
Since then, I've managed everything from an ADU conversion and HVAC replacement to electrical, bathroom, pool, and ongoing maintenance projects, alongside rental properties and renovations of my own.
My sister handles much of the day-to-day support for my mom.
The house lands on me.
That's what led to Homeward First. Homeowners and families shouldn't have to manage every repair, vendor, and project on their own.
I started Homeward First to be that person.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is Homeward First a handyman service?
No. We coordinate qualified professionals rather than performing repairs ourselves.
Do you provide caregiving or medical services?
No. Homeward First manages the home, not personal or medical care.
What if my parent doesn't want help?
We don't arrive trying to take over. Often the easiest place to start is one specific issue, and let the homeowner experience having it handled professionally while remaining in control.
What does “point of contact” for a recurring service provider mean?
For services such as landscaping, pool care, or pest control, we handle routine communication, scheduling, access coordination, and service follow-up. You remain in control of significant expenses and decisions.
Do you mark up contractor costs?
No. You pay contractors directly. We don't mark up their work. Homeward First's management fees are separate.
Do you speak Spanish?
Yes. Homeward First works with homeowners and families in both English and Spanish.
