Every project is a ready-made sequence of Porchlight services. Not ready to hand it all over? Start by doing it yourself or by handing off one step you choose — and your records, contacts, decisions, confirmations, and documents stay together in your Home Base. Plus the $9.99/mo membership that keeps your whole household organized.

Every step runs on a standard worksheet — you see exactly what we'll ask, and exactly what you'll get back in writing, before anyone starts.

My Porchlight fractional family assistants share your mental load by helping with planning and coordination tasks — service providers (contractors, venues, pros) will charge their own fees directly. My Porchlight is an independent company and is sponsor-free, which means you get an unbiased recommendation every time. Read about our transparency and other pledges here.
