Walmart is entering the home services market through a new partnership.
The discount giant is starting to compete with offerings such as the Home Services programs at Home Depot and Lowe’s via a collaboration with online professional services platform Angi. Through Angi, consumers can search for home maintenance and renovation professionals qualified to perform specific services.
Angi’s providers will soon be available in nearly 4,000 Walmart stores across all 50 states, and nationwide online. This service offering includes over 150 common home projects including flooring, painting, plumbing, electrical, TV mounting, installation, and assembly services for furniture.
