HomeHands
Founding-100 program

Full calendar. Guaranteed pay. Zero chasing invoices.

HomeHands is Red Deer’s new home-services platform. We generate the leads, screen the customers, hold the money in escrow, and pay you within 24 hours of every completed job.

Why leave HomeStars / Google Ads / word-of-mouth?

Because you don’t pay us for leads. You pay us — a flat 20% during Founding-100, 25% after — only when a job is completed and the customer is happy. No dead leads. No wasted ad spend. No estimating that goes nowhere.

  • ✔ Escrow. Money is authorized before we dispatch you. You never chase an invoice again.
  • ✔ Fast payout. Standard: next business day. Pro tier: instant (1% fee).
  • ✔ Vendor app. Job feed, calendar sync (Google/Outlook/iCal), nav handoff, in-app chat with the customer, photo & signature capture, earnings dashboard, T4A auto-generated.
  • ✔ Consumer marketing on us. We buy the Google Ads, we run the billboards, we send the postcards. You just show up and do great work.
  • ✔ Insurance backstop. Our $5M umbrella sits above your GL policy, plus a workmanship guarantee we cover.

Frequently asked by pros

Do I have to be full-time? +

No. You set your availability. Toggle on when you have capacity, off when you don’t. Many pros use HomeHands to fill their calendar between existing customers.

Do you take my existing customers away? +

No. If a HomeHands customer favorites you, they come straight to you next time — through the app. We charge our commission on that job, but the relationship is yours.

What if the customer refuses to pay? +

They can’t. Payment is authorized before we dispatch you and captured to escrow when you start. If they dispute, our ops team mediates using your photos and job record. In the rare case of a legit dispute, we cover the loss — you still get paid.

Can I bring my crew? +

Yes. Add crew members under your business account. Each needs their own Certn check and (where required) their own ticket.

What does the app cost? +

Nothing. No monthly fee (unless you opt into $99/mo Pro after year-one). Just the completion commission.

How does tax work? +

GST calculated automatically on customer invoices. Annual T4A generated for you if you clear $500 CAD in a calendar year.
