Local trades, on demand

Get it done.
Pay when it's finished.

Post the job, compare real offers from vetted local workers, and pick the one you want. Your card is only charged once the work is complete.

No booking fee. No subscription. No charge until the job is done.

How it works

Four steps, no phone tag

Most people spend more time chasing quotes than the job takes. This replaces that.

1

Post the job

Describe what you need and when. Add photos so workers can quote accurately.

2

Compare offers

Nearby vetted workers send a price and a time. You see their rating and job history.

3

Accept one

Pick your worker. Your card is authorized but not charged, and you can message in-app.

4

Pay on completion

Confirm the work is done and payment is released. Then you both leave a rating.

Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC are not bookable yet. These trades require licensed professionals, and we do not list them until our license-verification process is in place. We would rather be missing a category than send an unlicensed worker to do regulated work.

Trust & safety

Built for letting a stranger into your home

That is a high bar, and it is the bar this product is designed against.

🪪

Every worker is vetted

Workers pass an identity and eligibility review before they can take jobs. Vetting status is visible on every profile.

📱

Verified phone numbers

Both sides verify by SMS before posting or offering, so accounts trace back to a real number.

Double-blind ratings

Neither side sees the other's rating until both are submitted, so nobody rates defensively.

💬

Private in-app messaging

Coordinate without sharing your phone number or address until you have accepted an offer.

🔒

Payment protection

Funds are authorized up front and only released after you confirm completion. Refunds are handled in-app.

🧾

Every job on record

Price, messages, and status are logged, so a dispute is resolved from a record rather than memory.

Questions

Straight answers

When am I actually charged?

Your card is authorized when you accept a worker's offer, which places a hold but does not take the money. The charge happens only when the job is marked complete. If the job is cancelled beforehand, the hold is released.

What if the work isn't done properly?

Do not confirm completion. Raise it in the app and we will review the job record and messages. Refunds, full or partial, are issued through the platform.

Who are the workers?

Independent local contractors, not ToolBelt employees. Each passes identity and eligibility vetting and verifies a phone number before taking work.

Why can't I book an electrician or plumber?

Those trades require licensing, and we do not list them until license verification is built. Listing an unlicensed worker for regulated work would put customers at risk.

How do workers get paid?

Payouts go to the worker's bank account after the job is confirmed complete, minus the 15% service fee. Payments and payouts are processed by Stripe.
