How UpkeepBids works

Post once, not five times

Describe the job, set a rough budget, and you're done. No calling around, no waiting three days for someone to come look at it, no getting three numbers that are $400 apart with no way to tell which is fair.

Trades bid down to win your job

Each new bid has to beat the last one. You watch the price fall in real time, and you see exactly who's behind every number — licence status, reviews, and how they've behaved on past jobs.

Your money sits in escrow, not their pocket

When you accept a bid, the funds move into a holding account. The trade knows the money is real before they start. Nothing releases until you approve the finished work.

If it goes wrong, we're not the judge

Disputes go to your local small claims court, which handles claims up to $25,000 in many provinces. We hand over the funds and step out — no internal review board deciding your case.

Real work. Clear choices.

Homeowners describe the work they need, and verified local trades respond with transparent bids. Every project starts with the people using UpkeepBids, so the marketplace stays grounded in real requests.

Home service work should start with trust.

Homeowners need a clear way to describe a project and compare responses from local trades. Trades need opportunities that match their skills and service area.

UpkeepBids brings both sides into one transparent process.

Post a real job, review the bids that come in, and choose the trade that fits. No purchased leads and no made-up marketplace activity.
