Home repair with a real price — before anyone shows up.

Hire a local handyman or contractor without the guesswork. The price you see is the price you pay, your payment is reserved before work begins, and you review photo proof of the work before earnings are released.

Why homeowners book here

Booking a home repair, step by step

1. Post the job

Describe the work and add photos if you have them. You'll see a fair price before you book.

2. Choose your booking type

Protected Booking: you authorize funds before work begins, and earnings are released after you approve the finished work. Free / Unprotected Request: no card required — just know that a job with no payment protection is one contractors may choose not to accept.

3. Follow the work

Your job screen shows status at every stage — accepted, in transit, arrived, working, complete — with photos and notes as the work happens.

4. Review and approve

When the job is marked complete, look it over. Approve it and earnings are released. If something's not right, flag it in the app before approving.
