Our Mission
To make hiring a trustworthy handyman as simple, transparent, and reliable as everything else in a Bay Area homeowner’s life.
Our Vision
A Bay Area where caring for your home means confidence, not uncertainty — every job handled by vetted local pros, every price known up front.
Why we built this
Bay Area homeowners deserve the same quality of experience they get from every other product in their lives. A 4-hour arrival window, a price that doubles on arrival, and a contractor who doesn’t text back — that’s not acceptable here.
So we built NorTech: flat-rate pricing, confirmed booking windows, vetted independent pros, and a workmanship warranty that’s published publicly. Not because the law requires it — but because it’s right, and because our neighbors deserve it.
What we stand for
Our values
Transparency first
See your exact flat-rate price before you book — no hourly meters, no surprise upcharges. The number you approve is the number you pay.
Trust, verified
Every independent provider is background-checked, identity-verified, and covered by $1M general liability before their first job.
Accountability
A 30, 60, or 90-day workmanship warranty, published publicly. If it’s not right, it gets made right at no charge — no arguments.
Respect for your time
Confirmed arrival windows, live tracking, and real communication. We treat your schedule like it matters, because it does.
Local expertise
From Eichlers in Palo Alto to East Bay craftsman bungalows, your matched pro knows Bay Area housing stock and local codes.
Quality, documented
Before-and-after photos on every job, saved to your account — proof of work you can keep, share, or reference for a claim.
Invested in local pros
Every job funds an independent local business, not a corporate crew. NorTech exists so skilled pros in your neighborhood get more work, not less.

View all coverage areas →California licensing disclosure. NorTech is a technology platform connecting homeowners with independent service providers. Smaller jobs — under $1,000 total, no building permit required — fall within the California handyman exemption per AB 2622 (2024). Larger jobs, or work that legally requires a license regardless of price, are matched only to a provider NorTech has independently verified holds a current, valid state contractor license. See our License Disclosure page for full detail.
Booking home help in the Bay Area was broken — opaque prices, no-shows, and no one accountable when something went wrong. So we built NorTech: a platform that connects you with vetted, independent pros, shows your price up front, and backs every job with a workmanship warranty. The way it should’ve been all along.
