What We Do
Block was founded by Koda and Luke in 2017 on a simple premise: homeowners and contractors need a better way to build together. Looking at the $450 billion renovation industry, our co-founders saw how technology could dramatically change the way renovations are done from planning, through design and build.
Since then, we’ve completed over a thousand different projects, raised a significant Series C, built a network of best-in-class contractors, and developed a suite of digital tools to support every step of the renovation journey. A few things have remained the same since the very beginning: our commitment to connecting homeowners and contractors, our love of good design, and the importance of a culture of collaboration, tenacity, and creativity.
Why Work With Us
At the end of the day, it’s our team of ambitious, thoughtful, inventive problem solvers that has gotten us to where we are— and it’s our team that’ll get us to where we’re going. We're a tight-knit, collaborative group that works without silos or egos to invent the future of our industry.
