Pay one stage at a time

Held payments wait for your approval

Fund each milestone before that stage starts. Your contractor finishes the work and posts photos of it. You look, you approve, and the held payout is released. If a payout request goes unanswered for 14 days, our team reviews the project record first. Quick Pay, for established contractors, skips the approval hold.

Changes need your yes

No surprise charges at the end

If the job changes, your contractor sends a request with what it is, what it costs, and why. It only counts if you approve it, and you see it right on your dashboard.

Photos, documents, and the record

Everything about the job, in one place

Your contractor's progress photos and payout documentation, plus anything you add. Leave site access notes like a gate code that only your contractor can see. Every payment, change, photo, and message is logged in order, next to the quote you accepted.
