If you need a new television mounted, your house cleaned or your lawn raked, you can now find a professional through Amazon Home Services in Indianapolis.

Amazon announced the expansion of Home Services in 20 metro areas across the U.S. on Monday. Along with Indianapolis, Amazon added the service that connects users with a variety of local professionals to Cleveland, Milwaukee and Ann Arbor, Mich., in the Midwest. The service is now available in 50 metro areas.

Amazon Home Services offers more than 1,200 unique services from almost 60 professions, according to an Amazon news release. The most popular services include television wall-mounting, house cleaning and furniture assembly. Now you know where to look for help once the Ikea opens in Fishers.

Amazon chooses professionals to include in Home Services listings after local service providers opt in to be included. Customers are given upfront prices for services. After a service is completed, customers can rate providers. Those ratings are then posted for others to review when deciding on a service provider in their ZIP code.

Some of the other services offered through Home Services include computer and Wi-Fi setup, painting, plumbing and something that could be important with winter on the way: car battery replacement.

You don't need to sign up for Home Services and there is no subscription fee. Service professionals receive a portion of the amount charged to the card on file in your Amazon account. An FAQ page goes over payment, scheduling custom services and more.

The full list of 20 new metro areas offering Amazon Home Services coverage includes: Santa Rosa, Calif.; Ventura County, Calif.; Boulder, Colo.; Greater Bridgeport, Conn.; New Haven, Conn.; Brevard County, Fla.; Cape Coral, Fla.; Sarasota, Fla; Indianapolis; Ann Arbor, Mich.; Raleigh, NC; Trenton, NJ; Las Vegas; Cleveland; Allentown, Penn.; Lehigh Valley, Penn.; San Antonio; Milwaukee; Richmond, Va. and Hampton Roads Va./N.C.

Indianapolis-based Angie's List, which offers a similar service of connecting customers with rated service professionals, dropped its paywall for reviews in July.
