With rising housing costs and a shortage of available housing options, more Minnesota homeowners are choosing to stay put and remodel their current homes rather than build new. But maintaining and improving an existing home comes with its own set of challenges. Luckily, Minneapolis-based home improvement startup Abe Home was designed with these exact challenges in mind—making home repairs and maintenance more accessible and affordable for homeowners across the state. Available online and on the iOS and Android app stores, Abe Home offers expert guidance at a lower cost with shorter wait times compared to traditional methods.
“Homeowners are stuck—waiting too long or paying too much for even basic repairs,” says Isaac Kamsin, founder and CEO, in a prepared statement. “The cost of living keeps rising, and skilled labor is getting harder to find, [but] Abe Home changes that. Now, homeowners can get expert guidance in minutes instead of weeks.”
Through the platform, homeowners can book live video consultations, where they receive immediate advice from vetted professionals on topics ranging from DIY projects and maintenance issues to larger home modifications.
Its AI-powered diagnostics further streamline the repair process. With this technology, users can describe issues by sight, sound, or smell, and the platform generates potential causes and solutions—and the technology is only becoming smarter. In fact, as the company continues to grow, it plans to expand its AI offerings to boost efficiency and refine maintenance recommendations.
For more complex projects, the platform’s newest service, Abe for Makers, offers an elevated level of interactivity. Instead of watching prerecorded tutorials, users can connect directly with YouTube creators in real time for hands-on guidance—making DIY learning more personalized and engaging.
