Georgia's home services market is at a turning point. Tbilisi, with its rapid urbanisation and growing expat population, has strong demand for reliable cleaners, plumbers, electricians, and handymen. Yet finding trustworthy providers has traditionally been a matter of knowing the right person or trusting a neighbour's tip.

In 2026, digital platforms are changing this — making it possible to find, vet, and book home service professionals across Georgia in minutes, with transparent pricing and verified reviews.

The Home Services Landscape in Georgia

Tbilisi accounts for roughly half of Georgia's population and the vast majority of demand for professional home services. The city's mix of Soviet-era apartment blocks, renovated old-town buildings, and modern new developments creates diverse maintenance needs — from Soviet plumbing upgrades to new construction punch-lists.

Outside Tbilisi, cities like Batumi, Kutaisi, and Rustavi have a growing but more fragmented market. The key challenge in all these areas is the same: lack of transparency about credentials, pricing, and reliability.

Most In-Demand Services

Based on booking data across Georgia, the most frequently requested home services are:

House cleaning: both standard weekly cleans and deep cleans for move-in/move-out
Plumbing: leaking pipes, blocked drains, water heater installation — Soviet-era infrastructure means this is perennial
Electrical work: rewiring, new sockets, lighting installation
Furniture assembly: IKEA and similar flat-pack assembly is a top request in Tbilisi
Painting and decorating: apartment renovations ahead of rental or sale
Window cleaning: particularly in high-rise buildings in Saburtalo and Isani

Price Ranges in GEL (2026)

Prices below are typical ranges for Tbilisi. Batumi runs similarly due to its tourism economy; Kutaisi and Rustavi are typically 15–20% lower.

Standard apartment clean (1–2 bed): 60–120 GEL
Deep clean / move-in clean: 120–250 GEL
Plumber (call-out + first hour): 80–150 GEL
Electrician (call-out + first hour): 70–140 GEL
Furniture assembly (per item): 20–60 GEL
Handyman (per hour): 40–80 GEL

How to Find Trusted Providers in Tbilisi

The informal market in Georgia is large. Most people still hire through personal recommendations or local Facebook groups. The problem with this approach:

No independent verification of skills or identity
No recourse if the job is done poorly or something is damaged
Inconsistent pricing with no market benchmark
Reliability varies widely — no-shows are common

GeraHome solves these problems by building a verified marketplace. Providers on the platform have completed identity checks, and their ratings are built from real verified bookings — not self-reported reviews. You can see a provider's full history, specialisations, and availability before booking.

Booking Home Services in Tbilisi: Step by Step

Open GeraHome and select your neighbourhood (Vake, Saburtalo, Mtatsminda, Gldani, etc.)
Choose the service type and describe the job
Pick a time — many providers offer same-day availability
Review profiles, ratings, and fixed-price quotes
Book and pay securely — funds released only after job completion

Tips for Getting Great Results

For plumbing and electrical, describe the problem in detail and attach a photo — this helps providers give accurate quotes and arrive prepared
For cleaning, specify whether you need supplies provided or will supply your own
Book recurring cleaning in advance to secure the same provider every week
Leave a review — it helps other users in Tbilisi and rewards quality work
