Palmelle Home Services
Trusted hands at mom's door.
A plumber she'd already trust. An HVAC tech who shows up on time. A handyman who treats her with patience. Already met. Already screened. Ready when she calls.
Subscription or one-time. Both work.
$99 unlocks the bench. Subscriptions add ongoing peace of mind. The contractor invoices their work directly. What you pay us covers the research, the screening, and the dispatch.

Every name on the bench has earned the spot.

"I started Palmelle after watching my mom get talked into work she didn't need by a contractor she'd never met. We built the bench so no other daughter has to wonder if the person at the door is real."
Naomi, founder, Palmelle
Palmelle Home Services exists to do one thing: put a vetted, senior-friendly person at your parent's door. And make sure no one else is.
Stop wondering. Start with $99.
Membership is sticky and a great deal at $99/mo. One-time Fix is a $99 trial of the bench. Either way, you'll know who's at mom's door.
