Photo the Problem. Find a Handyman. Get Real Bids. Done.
From a sticking door to a full bathroom punch list — here's how AllBetter replaces the hourly-billing guesswork.
Show Us What's Broken
Take a photo of the loose handle, drywall hole, leaky faucet, or unassembled IKEA box. Describe the scope in your own words. Identity-verified handymen see the actual job and send accurate fixed-price bids — no "I'll need to see it first" stalling.
Compare Fixed-Price Bids
Review bids side by side: fixed total, identity verification status, completed jobs, and ratings. Use the in-app chat to ask about license (where required), insurance, materials, and timing — all without exchanging your phone number.
Pay When You Approve the Work
Your money sits in escrow while the handyman works. Check the finished list, tap Approve — only then is he paid. No hourly meter, no deposits. Posting and comparing is free; a small service fee applies at booking.
$50/hr Quotes That Become $250 Bills.
Handyman work is the least-regulated trade in the home — so a written fixed-price scope, ID verification, and escrow are what stand between you and a "$50/hr" quote that becomes a $250 bill. Two checks and one habit shut that down:
ID-Verified to Bid
Government ID confirmed by identity before any handyman can bid. No anonymous "Joe with a truck" at your front door.
Every pro · no exceptionsEscrow-Protected Payment
Your money sits in escrow while the work happens. The pro is paid when you approve the finished job — not before.
