“Russell was awesome! So kind and very quick with my repair. Perfect for the Seniors out there. I will definitely use them again. I’m glad that he helped me and I was able to help him for extra cash when he is off as a fireman. Thank you all for keeping us safe! Wonderful company! Very easy to schedule appointments.”

It just doesn’t get any better

“Alfred was awesome! My deck looks great! This firefighter is a skillful craftsman and carpenter. He arrived at my home totally prepared to do the job. He is polite, quiet and very thoughtful! He’s also a US Vet that served in the Marine Corps in Iraq! It just doesn’t get any better than that!”

FAQs

Helpful Heroes is the only on-demand home service company dedicated exclusively to helping firefighters and EMTs supplement their incomes during their off-duty days. Simply let us know what you need done from moving or assembling furniture to climbing ladders for hanging or installing nearly anything. Helpful Heroes will attempt to connect you with a nearby firefighter who is willing and available to help. Upon completion, payments are made through the Helpful Heroes platform directly to your firefighter.
Unlike other home service marketplaces, Helpful Heroes exclusively uses off-duty firefighters and EMTs to perform various household tasks. Firefighters and EMTs undergo substantial background checks as part of their screening at the station where they work. Much more extensive than a simple online screen that you will get elsewhere. As such, we do not need to do background checks on our firefighters. We do, however, perform employment checks to ensure only verified firefighters and EMTs enter the Helpful Heroes network.
