    Your money sits safe — not in the pro's pocket.

  3. Work gets done

    The pro does the job you agreed on.

  4. You sign off

    Happy? You approve the finished work.

Sec 11 — Questions

Straight answers.

How much does it cost to hire through CrewKeel?
Nothing to post, nothing for quotes. You describe your job free, compare real quotes free, and only ever pay the contractor you hire, for the work they do.
How are the pros vetted?
We verify licensing and insurance details during onboarding, and background checks are available for added peace of mind. Reviews only come from real, signed-off jobs — nobody can buy their rating.
When do I pay?
After you accept a quote, payment is held in escrow and only released to the contractor when you sign off on the finished work. You stay in control the whole way.
What kinds of work can I post?
Everything from a leaky faucet to a full remodel — HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roofing, drywall, decks, painting, and a long catalog of specialty trades.
Do I need an account to get started?
No. Describing your job takes about two minutes and you don't need an account to start. We'll set you up when your quotes arrive.
What if I don't get any quotes?
We notify the top matches for your trade and area the moment you post. If your area is thin, try broadening the description — new pros join the roster all the time, and posting again is always free.
