Home Contractor Disruption
If there was ever an industry that needed disruption, it’s home construction and renovation.
Most Contractors Suck
Sorry, but it’s true…
Finally…
It’s starting to happen…the typical lousy home contracting experience is on the chopping block thanks to new companies that are attempting to disrupt this industry. As most of you know, home contracting and renovation is a pain point that has become a necessary evil. Finding a reliable, honest and efficient contractor is nearly impossible. Home contractors have taken over the negative experience of dishonest mechanics in the service industry. Home owners are forced to suffer at the hands of these unctuous characters with no reprieve in sight, until now…Two new home construction and home renovation startups have emerged from the Covid19 pandemic, Welcome Home and Block Renovation, respectively. Let’s start with the Block Renovation startup, which allows home owners to simply choose a bathroom out of a catalog. Block claims that each one of the bathrooms has been designed by an interior designer. Once you choose a design, Block provides an instant quote, and if you decide to proceed, they say they’ll have that exact bathroom installed within three weeks.
Block
Block is a renovation platform transforming the $400 billion renovation industry. Today, doing a home renovation is an abysmal consumer experience and not easy for contractors either. Block democratizes access to high-end design, while combining design, construction, and materials into a streamlined experience. Block simplifies a complex and convoluted process and gives homeowners certainty on outcomes, quality, price, and time.

As of now, Block is only available in New York and New Jersey, but it wants to expand around the country, if their model proves successful. In addition, Block wants to tackle other remodelling pain points, including kitches and basements. Block claims the average cost of a bathroom renovation is $18,900, while the average New York renovation is $25,900. Not cheap, but if it can be done quickly, efficiently and meets a high quality standard, many home owners will get in line.
