MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Frontdoor, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTDR), the nation’s leading provider of home service plans with about two million members, today unveiled Frontdoor®, a first-of-its-kind mobile app addressing the evolving needs of tech-savvy homeowners.
“Frontdoor is an amazing app that will change how homeowners maintain and repair their most valuable asset. The video chat feature with one of our Experts is the heart of the experience,” said Bill Cobb, Frontdoor’s Chairman & CEO. “Homeowners can get help in real time. The Expert may be able to fix the problem right then and there, or if repairs are needed, we have a list of local, vetted professionals who can take care of the problem. Our Experts will guide homeowners through the process. All they have to do is open the Frontdoor.”
There are 128 million homes in the U.S., and millennials (ages 23-41) comprise the largest portion of homebuyers at 43 percent, according to a National Association of Realtors 2022 Trends report. These millennial consumers differ greatly from previous generations as they rely heavily on social platforms, including TikTok and YouTube instructional videos, to find solutions for their home repair challenges.
Powered by Frontdoor’s proprietary Streem video technology, Frontdoor is the ultimate tech solution to help homeowners tackle home repair and maintenance tasks with ease and convenience. Addressing a wide range of issues, including running toilets or glitchy washing machines, homeowners can use the app to video chat with pre-qualified Experts for real-time diagnosis and solutions. If a Frontdoor Expert is not able to fix the issue remotely, then Frontdoor can send a list of trusted and local professionals who can address your problem.
Frontdoor offers nationwide membership plans for every homeowner. The Basic membership is free and includes one free video chat session with an Expert, followed by a list of local, fully vetted service Pros, and access to Frontdoor’s How-To Tips library. The Prime membership is an annual plan at $99 a year. It includes everything offered in the Basic package in addition to three total video chat sessions with Experts a year, exclusive discounts (up to 50% off retail pricing) for heating and A/C system replacements with financing options available, discounts and special pricing for home products and services that can be booked at any time.
Later this summer, additional details will be unveiled regarding Frontdoor’s Premium monthly membership plan, which is ideal for those homeowners who want it all, including coverage for repairs, real-time advice, maintenance services, exclusive discounts, and more.
“We know modern homeowners want an easy and convenient digital experience. That’s exactly what they get with Frontdoor,” Cobb added. “Open the app on their phone. Quickly video chat with one of our experts. Get their problem solved.”
