The company has completely shifted to a virtual model for the time being as a service to customers who might not be comfortable having strangers in their house during the pandemic. Customers can schedule a Virtual House Call to troubleshoot specific issues and also use the tele-maintenance service for a complimentary guided Hippo Home Care Home Checkup. Think of it like getting a car tune-up or a physical, only this one is for your house, they said.nbsp;

The free service is available to anyone in the U.S. who needs help with home repair or maintenance. Homeowners can visit the companys website to schedule a time to talk to a certified professional. During the appointment, Hippos Home Pros can walk you through resolving issues yourself or recommend getting professional help. Calls are set in 30-minute increments, but, should the problem not be fixed, the call may be extended, or Hippo can arrange an in-home service from a local provider, if needed. Customers should be prepared with a general set of tools; screwdrivers, Allen wrenches, adjustable wrenches, and a cordless drill can typically do the trick.

The service was originally rolled out to a select group of customers, but the company expanded it once they gauged the need. You can visit Hippo to make an appointment.
