What started out as an online bookstore has since expanded into selling almost any physical good you can imagine. And now, Amazon is saying a lot of the stuff people buy on the site are things they need help assembling, installing, or learning to enjoy. That’s why the company just launched a new section in the US, Home Services, where customers can shop for professional help. AHS is launching with 700 different services that include everything from installing a garbage disposal to at-home piano lessons.

Think of AHS as a Yelp or Angie’s List with the one-click ease you’ve come to expect from any well-designed online shop. Get started by plugging in your zip code and searching for the service you’re after–anything from general handyman jobs and housekeeping to French lessons and iPhone repair.

After answering a few questions (e.g., How many hours of cleaning do you need? What type of phone do you have?), you’ll see an estimated price from a local vendor and a one-click option to schedule the service.

Prices are competitive with anything you’d book on your own and all service providers are thoroughly vetted and appropriately licensed. The best part? You pay right through the Amazon site or app.
