Takl app launches in Denver & users share their experience using the on-demand home services app.

DENVER--()--Takl, Inc., a national leader in on-demand home services and maker of the app-based mobile platform that connects providers and users, today announced its entry into the Denver metropolitan area as the company expands into Colorado as part of its national rollout. Click to Tweet. Takl has signed up more than 2,000 local home service providers to perform small jobs and chores on-demand for homes and businesses with a wide range of chores and tasks at pre-set prices.

The Takl app is the only on-demand, pre-priced mobile platform for both business and home use with small jobs for $400 or less. Customers can also post a custom chore or job with a price that providers can either accept or bid on in a real time auction format. The app also allows for task customization and additional add-on chores by the customer once the provider arrives on site.

Takl users can have a provider arrive in about an hour to perform a small job or chore. They can also schedule the job for a future reserved day and time. Every one of the over 400 chores is pre-priced with a detailed description included so that both users and providers have equal expectations.

The on-demand app connects self-employed providers who have passed background checks with both home and business users who need chores and small jobs completed. Popular chores and small jobs include lawn care, house or office cleaning, junk removal, small repairs and custom jobs.

Since launching in Nashville less than one year ago in July 2016, the company has expanded into 13 states as part of its national roll-out including Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Tennessee and Virginia. Currently, Takl offers service to more than 800 cities with over 25,000 vetted background checked providers, available to perform chores as part of the Takl app, with another 50,000 still in process. The national rollout will continue into metropolitan areas across the U.S. as Takl expands its current footprints and opens new markets.

“Takl is now coast to coast with our on-demand platform that provides immediate help to customers for small chores and jobs with our easy-to-use app,” said Takl Chairman and CEO Willis Johnson. “We are excited to begin service in Colorado with the introduction of our service into the Denver area.”
