AI-powered Ask AI, direct booking, and quote-based services help customers navigate home services across a growing network of 8,000+ service professionals.
InstaService has expanded its home services marketplace to all 50 U.S. states, reaching more than 50,000 customers and building a network of 8,000+ service professionals.
The expansion marks a significant step in the company’s growth as it broadens access to home repair, maintenance, cleaning, installation, and other residential services through its mobile and web platforms. InstaService combines direct booking, quote-based services, and AI-powered tools designed to help customers identify their needs and determine the next step.
The company has also expanded its service offering and reached several business milestones in 2026, including a $2 million media-for-equity investment from MMC Capital in July and acceptance into the StartX Fall 2026 Full-Time Program.
Starting With the Problem, Not the Service Name
For many homeowners, the first challenge is not finding a service professional. It is figuring out what kind of service they actually need.
A homeowner may notice water around a fixture, a damaged wall, an appliance that is not working properly, or another issue without knowing which type of service can address it.
InstaService’s Ask AI feature gives customers a way to start with the problem itself.
Customers can describe what they are experiencing through text, photos, or voice. Ask AI can help them understand the issue, identify a potentially relevant service, and determine what to do next.
The feature can help customers:
- Describe a home issue in everyday language
- Identify a potentially relevant service
- Use photos or voice to explain what they are seeing
- Understand possible next steps
- Move from identifying a problem toward booking a service
The goal is to make the initial part of the home services journey simpler, particularly when a customer knows something is wrong but is unsure where to begin.
Different Projects, Different Ways to Book
Once a customer understands what service may be required, the booking process can vary depending on the project.
InstaService supports both direct booking and quote-based requests. For eligible services, customers can access available pricing and book directly through the platform. For projects that require more information or customization, customers can submit a request and receive quotes from service professionals.
This approach allows customers to use the marketplace for both straightforward tasks and more involved projects without requiring every service request to follow the same process.
InstaService also offers Smart Projects, which helps customers organize and manage home service needs involving multiple tasks.
Expanding Services for Property Managers and Real Estate Professionals
In addition to serving individual homeowners, InstaService has expanded its offerings for property managers, vacation rental operators, and real estate professionals.
The newer services include:
Vacation Rental Cleaning
Cleaning support for properties between guest stays and during rental turnovers.
Realtor Pre-Listing Deep Cleaning
Deep cleaning to help prepare homes before they are listed for sale.
Realtor Open-House Refresh Cleaning
Cleaning and refreshing properties ahead of open houses and scheduled showings.
These services address situations where cleaning and property preparation need to be coordinated around specific schedules.
For property managers overseeing multiple properties, vacation rental operators working around guest turnover, or real estate professionals preparing homes for market, access to these service options through a single marketplace can help simplify part of the coordination process.
A Growing Network of Service Professionals
The marketplace is supported by a growing network of independent service professionals.
InstaService now has more than 8,000 service professionals on its platform. Service availability is determined by the customer’s location and the services offered in that market, giving customers access to relevant service options based on their specific needs and location.
Service professionals can receive service requests and quote opportunities through the platform. Customers can review available options and select a service professional for their project.
The growing network also supports the range of categories available through InstaService, spanning home maintenance, cleaning, plumbing repair services, installations, and other residential projects.
Reaching All 50 States
InstaService’s expansion to all 50 U.S. states represents a major milestone in the company’s geographic reach.
Customers can access the marketplace through InstaService’s mobile and web platforms, with service availability determined by the customer’s location and the services offered in that market.
The nationwide expansion comes as the company surpasses 50,000 customers and maintains an average customer rating of 4.8.
The combination of geographic expansion, customer growth, and a growing network of service professionals reflects the increasing scale of InstaService’s marketplace.
Investment and Startup Milestones
The nationwide expansion follows several business milestones for InstaService in 2026.
In July 2026, InstaService secured a $2 million media-for-equity investment from MMC Capital. The company has also received investment from angel investors.
InstaService was additionally accepted into the StartX Fall 2026 Full-Time Program, becoming part of the Stanford-affiliated startup community.
These milestones come alongside the company’s expansion across the United States and continued growth in its customer and service professional networks.
“Reaching all 50 states is an important milestone, but our growth is about more than geographic expansion,” said Venkatesh Ragala, Founder and CEO of InstaService. “Over the past year, we’ve expanded our services, grown our network, raised capital, and built a strong customer base. We are focused on building a home services marketplace that is easier to access, more convenient to use, and equipped to support homeowners and property managers at scale.”
Bringing More of the Home Service Journey Together
A home service request can involve several steps, from figuring out what is wrong to determining which service is needed, understanding pricing, finding an available service professional, and coordinating the work.
InstaService brings several of these steps together within one marketplace.
Customers can begin with a problem through Ask AI, access direct booking options for eligible services, or submit a request for quotes when a project requires more information or customization.
The platform also brings together everyday home maintenance services with specialized offerings for property-related needs.
This broader approach allows customers and property managers to use the same marketplace for different types of home service needs while choosing a booking process based on the project.
A Nationwide Home Services Marketplace
With more than 50,000 customers, 8,000+ service professionals, and availability across all 50 states, InstaService has expanded beyond a traditional local home services model.
The company’s growing marketplace combines direct booking, quote-based services, AI-powered assistance, and specialized service offerings for homeowners, property managers, vacation rental operators, and real estate professionals.
The addition of Ask AI and Smart Projects, together with the company’s nationwide expansion, reflects InstaService’s broader approach to helping customers navigate different stages of the home services process.
Its expansion to all 50 states, growing customer base, network of service professionals, 4.8 average customer rating, recent funding, and StartX acceptance mark a significant period of growth for InstaService in the U.S. home services market.
