Am I missing something? Is the market really small, is that why Handy.com and others haven't bothered with it? What is it?
As someone who's run small offices (50 ppl) in London, I've personally found it quite hard to keep up with all the things that needed to be done. Cleaning esp is a pain. In the past I've used cleaning services recommended by the building, but its hit or miss really.
I've always wished there was something like an Uber for office services, just press a button and have someone show up to fix or clean up, so that's what I'm building, but just keen to know why it seems no one else has done it before. It just seems like not having to worry about dealing with issues in the office would tremendously boost my and the office managers productivity, hence keen to try this.

I can't speak for the size of the market, but offices we've looked at in LA don't often include cleaning services, and there are a lot of small offices that couldn't justify a full time person for this role.
I would like to be able to get the same person most of the time.
The services that would be important to consider doing are:
- Cleaning
- Assembling new desks/furniture
- Light repair and maintenance (stuff not covered by the lease and doesn't require speciality knowledge)
- Setup / Cleanup for meetups and other events
- Running errands and picking things up from the store
