Company History
Envisioned in 1993 by Craig Madans, this unique marketing concept has proven its worth by providing benefits to homeowners and contractors. "Helping people overcome the problems of owning a home renders a positive result for everyone. We help make the connection between homeowners and carefully selected, quality craftsmen, which saves money and time," Craig Madans reports.
The first HOCOA office was started in Charlotte, North Carolina in March of 1993. By 2000, HOCOA of Charlotte had over 25,000 members. Each HOCOA office is owned and operated locally as a franchise.
Madans thought of the idea to start a home repair network when he was trying to renovate his home and couldn't get anyone to show up or do the job right. "HOCOA takes the worry out of home repair which saves the homeowner the headaches and the time it takes to really find good contractors," says Madans. HOCOA now has franchises as far west as Oklahoma, north as Connecticut and South as Florida.
