How it works

Any Trade, Three Steps, Escrow-Protected

A leaking pipe in a two-flat, a deep clean in Lakeview, a bungalow panel upgrade — the same three steps for every trade.

1

Show the job

Snap the leak, the room to clean, or the panel to upgrade. Add your Chicago ZIP and timeline — about a minute, phone or web.

Identity-verified Chicago pros from Logan Square to Beverly send fixed prices. Line them up by cost, earliest opening, and homeowner reviews side by side. No robocalls clogging your phone.

Approve before you pay

Choose your handyman and keep every message in the app. Stripe escrow holds your payment until the work’s finished and you’ve inspected it yourself.

FAQ

Chicago Home Services — Quick Answers

How fast will I get bids in Chicago?
Fast. Across 2,268 Chicago bids on AllBetter, the median time to a first bid is under 7 minutes, and most jobs collect several bids within the first hour. Speed varies by trade and time of day.
Is posting a job free?
Yes — posting is free for homeowners, with no obligation to accept any bid. You only pay the pro you choose, when the work is done.
How does the escrow protection work?
Your payment is held in escrow when you accept a bid and is released to the pro only after you approve the completed work. No cash up front, no chasing receipts.
Are the pros verified?
Every pro completes identity verification through Stripe’s government-ID system before bidding. Reviews from Chicago homeowners appear on each pro’s profile.
Do Chicago jobs need permits?
Some do — electrical panel work, plumbing alterations, and structural changes often require City of Chicago permits. Ask the pros bidding on your job; licensed trades handle permitting routinely.
Which areas do you cover?
All Chicago neighborhoods plus the North, West and South suburbs — Evanston to Naperville to Orland Park. Post with your ZIP and nearby pros are notified automatically.
