Garr and Jessica Owens of Oikos Home Services standing together for home repair and real estate support in Delaware

Family Owned. Built on Trust.

Oikos Home Services is more than a business—it's a family commitment to serving our community with integrity and care.

Founded in 2024 by Garr and Jessica Owens, Oikos was built with a specific mission: to help real estate professionals and homeowners navigate the critical period between inspection and closing. But the heart of our company runs deeper.

The name "Oikos" is a Greek word meaning "home" or "household." It represents care, responsibility, and long-term stewardship—the values that guide everything we do. It's also a tribute to a beloved family patriarch who taught us that your "oikos" is your inner circle, the community that influences and supports your life.

We bring that same spirit to every project. When you work with Oikos, you're not just hiring a contractor—you're joining our community. We treat your home with the same care we'd give our own, and we stand behind our work with the accountability that only comes from putting our family name on the door.

The Pay-At-Close Advantage

No Money Out of Pocket. Repairs Done Now.

Unexpected repair costs shouldn't derail a real estate transaction. Our Pay-at-Close program allows qualified clients to complete necessary repairs immediately and pay from closing proceeds—keeping deals on schedule and reducing stress for all parties.

Perfect for agents who need to keep deals alive, and sellers who need repairs done without the upfront burden.

No Upfront Payment

Qualified clients start repairs with minimal-to-no immediate out-of-pocket costs

Completed Before Closing

Settlement covers repair costs, simplifying the process

Paid from Closing Proceeds

Work is finished on schedule to meet transaction deadlines

Your Trusted Partner in Property Transactions

We understand the pressures surrounding real estate closings. When inspection reports threaten timelines, you need a responsive partner who delivers quality work without delays. Oikos Home Services is built specifically to support real estate professionals like you.

  • Time is everything when you're under contract. We prioritize fast quote turnaround and flexible scheduling so you're not waiting around while your closing window shrinks. When you reach out, we move.

  • Coordinating multiple contractors across different trades eats time and creates room for things to fall through the cracks. With Oikos, you get one call, one team, and one person accountable for the entire scope of work. We handle the range so you don't have to.

  • Repair costs shouldn't be the reason a deal falls apart. Our pay-at-close option lets sellers get the work done now with no money out of pocket before closing. The cost is settled at the closing table, keeping your transaction intact and your clients moving forward with confidence. Ask us about eligibility when you reach out.

  • You shouldn't have to chase your contractor for updates. We keep you informed throughout the job with clear communication and coordination. You'll always know where things stand.

  • Our work doesn't just get done, it gets approved. Oikos founder Garr Owens spent more than five years working in the home inspection industry before launching Oikos. He knows exactly how inspectors evaluate repairs, what appraisers look for, and what "done right" actually means in the context of a real estate transaction. That experience means fewer re-inspections, fewer surprises, and repairs that hold up to scrutiny the first time around.

JENNA L.

Realtor

“I called Oikos Home Services when I needed drywall repaired after electrical work was done to install a large TV over my fireplace. The repair area was very visible.
Garr and his crew did a great job. Not only was the repair exceptional, they took great care in matching the paint to the point the Best Buy Geek Squad guys asked who had done the work.
An exceptional job, timely and exceeded my expectations. I would not hesitate to call Oikos again”
