Redbeacon HQ is located in the San Francisco Bay Area so we are no strangers to natural disasters. We had some minor earthquakes rattle us last week. So we know the plight of what our east coast customers are going through in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene.

As experts in the home services business and having a large community of customers in the Big Apple and the Capitol, we sympathize with our customers in NY and DC and have decided to help:

We’ll donate $25 on your behalf to Red Cross for any service you book through Redbeacon starting today and going through September 30th.

Our thoughts go out to the people on the eastern seaboard. If you’re interested in our offer, please request a service here.

Redbeacon is taking over the world one city at a time!

First and foremost, Redbeacon is now officially launched in seven major metros: San Francisco, Seattle, Washington D.C., New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and our newest launched metro… (drum roll)… HOUSTON!

We’re excited to clear out the tumbleweeds and flood the Houston area with awesome providers from its own backyard. If you have a household need and you’re looking for some quality providers in Houston (or any of our other launched cities) don’t hesitate to submit a request. We’re waiting to hook you up with a great provider that will be able to fulfill your job at hand!

In other news, Redbeacon has partnered with eBay classifieds to create a mutual beneficial relationship. Our widget is now embedded in the eBay classifieds section for our launched cities and we think if eBay trusts us, you should too!

As usual, Redbeacon is constantly tweaking and improving our product based on YOUR feedback! In our 2 years of being live, we’ve introduced our widget, our provider mobile application, completely redesigned our provider quoting pages, added several cities, and partnered with some great companies. Oh yeah, we’ve also moved offices and grown in size. And we’re not finished yet! Stay tuned to this blog for more exciting product changes, features, and Redbeacon news!
