About Solenne

The local way, finally on time.

Solenne is a Cincinnati home-services marketplace. We match you with vetted local pros who actually live in your ZIP code — so quotes come back in seconds, not days, and the truck shows up in the window we promised. Solenne does the match. Your local pro does the work.

The story

Why we built this.

Hiring someone for any home job in 2026 still feels like 1996. You leave a voicemail. They text three days later with "what's a good time to call?" The quote comes through the next week. By then you've already given up and stuffed the couch into a corner of the garage.

Meanwhile, the actual people doing the work — the haulers, the cleaners, the lawn crews — are spending half their day chasing leads that never close. They're not bad at their jobs. They're bad at marketing, dispatching, and admin. That's why their margins are thin and their rates seem high.

Solenne fixes both ends. We don't haul or mow ourselves — we took the lead engine, the dispatching, the customer comms, and the admin layer and rebuilt them with AI on top of a curated network of local pros. The pro gets jobs routed to their phone the moment a homeowner books. The homeowner gets a real price and a real human in a real timeframe.

One platform. One operator network. Built one service at a time so we never grow past what our pros can handle.

What we believe

Three rules.

Speed is respect

If we can answer in 60 seconds, we will. Your time is not less valuable than ours. Quotes come back fast or we tell you why.

Local people, locally

Every operator owns their territory. They live there, they drive its roads, and they answer to the same neighbors twice. That's the whole accountability system.

The price you saw is the price

Photo-based quotes mean fewer surprises on-site. If something genuinely changes, we tell you before we do it — not on the invoice.

How we measure ourselves

What good looks like.

These are the targets every operator in the founding cohort agrees to. We'll publish our actuals once we're a few months in.

"I started Solenne after watching three different contractors miss the same job in the same week. The work is honest. The systems around it are broken. We're rebuilding them — first in Cincinnati, then everywhere it makes sense to go next."
