The solution I think is a little more like what a salon does - a good, shared platform. I think if somebody wrote a Uber for x planning on the 1 on 1 repeat business, they'd be fine... and how? 1) Provide real value for provider - an easy to use billing platform, scouting out of the upfront work and risk, and classification of the customer and (here's what I think would be the big one) work schedule management. 2)Provide real value for the customer, it be being able to evaluate a provider, get good ratings (and here's the kicker) if the preferred provider isn't available, they don't have to go hunting. 3) Let providers recommend each other. Temper that with user ratings and platform specific ratings. Have users report when a job isn't done right, or another visit needs to be made, etc. But the provider peer ratings are like "I have too much work to provide x, you should try John, I trust his work." 4) The categorization of work could have meaningful use to the providers - it lets providers specialize further than they normally could otherwise, and provide a platform to fall back on.
