Wayfair has formed a partnership with porch.com, a home services platform for homeowners and home professionals, to offer installation services to wayfair.com customers.

By way of porch.com’s Porch Retail Solution, wayfair.com shoppers who need help with tasks such as furniture assembly and installation of products such as lighting and plumbing will be able to purchase those services at checkout, and then set an appointment with a qualified Porch professional. The partnership will be available to wayfair.com customers starting in 15 markets today, including Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Washington and Chicago.

The Porch Retail Solution will provide wayfair.com customers with home services that are available to add-on to select product purchases. Adding installation or assembly services to their shopping cart will automatically connect shoppers to Porch professionals to help complete their project.

“At Wayfair, we pride ourselves on a customer service-driven retail experience, and with this porch.com partnership, we are able to offer services that further enhance the shopping experience and make home decorating and renovation easier for our customers, ” said Steve Oblak, senior vice president and general manager of Wayfair. “Porch is ideally positioned to deliver quality home installation services through their ever-expanding network of background-checked and guaranteed professionals, and we look forward to delighting our customers with this enhanced offering.”
