Posting a job and getting quotes

Prefer to have pros reach out to you? Post a job. Describe the work, set a budget range, and add your area and photos.

Not sure which trade you need? Start in the "What do you need done?" box at the top — describe the job in plain words, or just name the room (e.g. "bathroom" or "kitchen"). We'll suggest the trades that usually handle it; tap one and we set the trade and pre-fill your title, description and urgency. Everything stays editable, so just review and tweak before posting.

When you pick a trade, we'll ask a few trade-specific questions (for tiling, say, the area, square footage, tile type, and whether materials are on-site). Answering them up front means tradespeople can quote accurately the first time — fewer back-and-forth messages, fewer surprises once work starts. Your answers appear on the posting and carry through to the job.

Your posting is shown to verified tradespeople in your trade and region. Each one applies with a full itemized quote — line items, taxes, and any upfront fee — so you're comparing real numbers, not vague estimates. On your post you can open each applicant's quote, check their profile, verification, and reviews, then Accept the one you want — you'll sign off with a quick finger signature to confirm. Accepting starts the job with that pro straight away and lets the others know you've chosen someone.

Applicants on Blue Seal Pro are marked Featured and listed first. That's a paid placement affecting the order only — it never changes a tradesperson's verification, ratings, or reviews, and you always compare the actual quotes side by side.

Some applicants may ask to do a site visit first instead of quoting blind — shown as "Site visit first" with the visit fee (or "Free site visit"). Agreeing is one tap (no signature); that pro then visits and sends a full quote you accept the usual way.

Others may want to chat first — shown as "Wants to chat first". They have questions before pricing the job; tap Message on their card to talk it through, and they'll send a full quote when they have what they need. If you accept someone you've been chatting with, the conversation carries over into the job chat.

Your exact address stays private until you accept a quote; the public posting only shows your general area.
