TruBlue Home Service Ally: Your Trusted Partner in Aging Successfully and Safely at Home

The importance of providing aging-in-place solutions has never been greater — a whopping 77% of adults over the age of 50 say they prefer to age in place. TruBlue Home Service Ally has made a name for itself by offering handyman and home maintenance services with a keen focus on helping busy adults and seniors maintain independence and comfort in their homes. With the backdrop of an aging population preferring to live at home and busy families needing dependable home maintenance solutions, TruBlue offers a compelling answer to these pressing needs.

“No other company blends high-quality in-home maintenance, modifications and repair, despite the staggering demand for these services, which is why TruBlue has seen tremendous growth,” said Sean Fitzgerald, TruBlue’s president. “We provide a service that is attractive to aging seniors and busy families alike — dispatching trusted professionals to handle everything from monthly home maintenance and safety assessments to handyman work and home modifications.”

A Higher Standard of Home Maintenance

For seniors and busy adults, TruBlue provides superior, trusted, full-service maintenance and handyman work inside and outside the home. This includes basic handyman services and home repairs like preventative maintenance, interior painting, door installation, deck building, repair or staining, drywall repair, ceiling fan installation, bathroom and kitchen remodels, tile and vinyl flooring, power washing, fencing installation and repair, handrail and accessibility updates, furniture assembly and more. No job is too small. 

For seniors looking to age in place, TruBlue also performs thorough safety assessments for each home before modifying the space in order to accommodate the specific needs of the resident, reducing the risk of falls and other health hazards. This could include ramp installation and removal, grab bar installation and removal, door knob replacements, switch and outlet access modifications, handrail installation and removal, keyless entry systems, doorway widening, fixing walkways or entrances, bathroom remodeling, Bestbath® baths and shower installations and CleanCut™ bath modifications.

"We recently received a call from an older gentleman who needed a ramp after he had fallen and broken his leg,” said Quinn Malone, a TruBlue franchisee in Chardon, Ohio. “He was eager to return to his recently-deceased wife's childhood home. It was just a couple of weeks before Christmas, but he couldn't come home until the house was modified. We did everything we could to ensure he was home for the holidays, including installing a ramp and safety bars. That is a prime example of the type of success stories we see everyday at TruBlue.”

Trusted, Insured and Fully Bonded Technicians 

Across all of the services it offers, one factor sets TruBlue apart: reliability. 

"We show up when we promise, and we work with the customer,” Malone said. “We're here to build relationships, not just conduct transactions. We aim for customer satisfaction and do what it takes to meet their needs, as they are the ones who live in the home, which should be just as they want it. We take pride in our work and stand behind it. I tell our customers if something goes wrong, we'll figure it out."

And TruBlue understands that trusting someone in one's home isn’t easy. The team members, known as Tru-Pro Technicians, aren’t just average handymen and home technicians. Each member brings a wealth of experience to efficiently tackle any home challenge. Prioritizing safety, all technicians undergo thorough background checks and are fully bonded and insured, ensuring peace of mind for homeowners. 

"We employ insured, background-checked employees to ensure everyone entering a home is trustworthy,” Malone said. “I wouldn't hire anyone I wouldn't be comfortable sending to my grandparents' home. That's a crucial test for us. Effective communication is key — they need to be able to talk to the customer, get to know them and ask the right questions."

This assurance extends to homeowners as well, knowing that if an incident were to occur, they are not held liable, thanks to TruBlue's comprehensive insurance coverage.

Home Ally Maintenance Plans for Continuous Care

Unlike traditional home maintenance brands, TruBlue’s assistance doesn’t stop once the modifications are done. The Home Ally Maintenance and Service packages offer annual and quarterly routine maintenance —  a solution to the myriad tasks that become cumbersome or challenging over time, whether it be draining the hot water heater, sealing doors, touching up paint, putting batteries in smoke directors, fixing a sink or otherwise. 

"Our Home Ally Maintenance & Monthly Service plans are really inspired by the automotive industry's approach,” Fitzgerald said. “It’s the Jiffy Lube mentality — if you look at your car, for example, people are conditioned to get routine maintenance. Everyone knows it. You don’t drive until it breaks down. The home should be the same, but people don’t realize that. Regular maintenance can prevent many costly and frustrating issues down the line. It's important to make sure our homes stay in top condition.” 

This model fosters a continuous relationship with clients, allowing the company to regularly assess homes for potential issues and offer solutions before minor problems unexpectedly escalate into major — and costly — repairs. 

“Our subscription service gives you and your family peace of mind, knowing someone is taking care of your older loved ones,” Malone said. “Many aren’t even aware of the safety modifications that can help seniors save costs and time. It’s all about making it possible to age in place safely with minimal changes to the home. Sometimes, the cost for us to senior-proof a home is less than a month's payment for an assisted living facility."

A Track Record of Compassionate Service

Overall, the impact of TruBlue's services can be seen in the joy and relief it brings for seniors and busy adults all across the country.

"We were recently approached by a woman whose husband is serving in the military,” Malone said. “We've completed two jobs for her — she has three children, all under the age of 10, and one is severely disabled and uses a motorized wheelchair. A charity organization provided funds to build a playground for her son. We worked closely with her to meet all his needs and ensure all dangers were avoided. Building that playground from scratch — a slide, a rockwall, a clubhouse — was incredible, especially seeing him play on it. Those moments are really what makes TruBlue special."

TruBlue Home Service Ally is more than just a home maintenance company — it is a lifeline for seniors wanting to age in place and busy families needing reliable home care. By combining high standards of service, a robust subscription model and a commitment to safety and trust, TruBlue is expanding rapidly and setting a new standard of excellence in the home maintenance industry.
