I'm no expert, but as a homeowner and someone who as a result has to employ contractors to fix things, I'd love to see someone make home repairs easier, more certain, and lower aggravation.
I think there are probably thousands of other industries/segments where an aggregate hundreds of millions or billions of dollars are spent annually and where people would spend 1 to 2.5% extra if friction were noticeably reduced. That used to be flights, hotels, and cabs that have been made easier in the last 2 decades.

While it's definitely possible to improve the experience around that, I don't think it really qualifies as market making. Specifially, look at wikipedia's definition:
>A market maker or liquidity provider is a company or an individual that quotes both a buy and a sell price in a tradable asset held in inventory, hoping to make a profit on the bid–ask spread, or turn.
You can't really hold "renovations to be done" as an "asset in inventory". It'll be something like uber, ie. a marketplace, not a market maker.
Except for really basic stuff like snaking a toilet, home repairs and remodeling are all different. It's not a standardized commodity service like flights, hotels, and cabs where the majority of customers all want pretty much the same thing.
