Real-time help. Old-school know-how.
Fix it yourself.
Not by yourself.
Video-call a retired tradesperson who can see the problem, talk you through the next step, and share a little wisdom along the way.

“Your grandpa would’ve known.
Now you can call one.”
The PopsOnCall idea
Our promise to you
Patient guidance. No judgment.
A person, not another tutorial.
Know when to call an on-site pro.
A little help goes a long way
Less guessing.
More “got it.”
That running toilet. That battery that won’t start. That breaker you’re worried about. Get a second set of eyes from someone who’s spent years working with their hands.
Know-how, with a human connection.
You bring the phone and the questions. Pops brings the practical experience—and maybe a story or two.
Tell us what’s going on
Describe the problem so you can be matched with a Pops in the right trade: plumbing, electrical, mechanical, or general home repairs.
Show Pops what you see
Join a video call from your phone. Walk through the issue together, ask questions, and get guidance tailored to what’s in front of you.
Take the next safe step
Work through a manageable fix or understand when you need hands-on help. Learning when to stop is part of the job, too.
Safety first: video guidance isn’t an on-site inspection or emergency service. For gas smells, sparking wires, or immediate danger, stop work and contact the appropriate emergency service or qualified local professional.
Make room for a little know-how
One problem. One call.
Pay for the time you need. Parts and tools aren’t included, and a fix isn’t guaranteed.
The quick check-in
$20 / 15 minutes
A focused question, a simple repair, or help figuring out where to start.
A little more elbow room
$35 / 30 minutes
More time to show the problem, work through the steps, and ask the questions you didn’t know you had.

You don’t have to know it all
Just know who to call.
Your first place doesn’t come with a repair manual. A little help from Pops is a good place to start.
