Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Is it free for households?
Yes. Free to post, no obligation. You never pay HandyBoomer a commission on the job. You pay the tradie directly.
Why only three tradies per job?
Unlimited bidding creates noise and a race to the bottom. We cap each open job at three experienced tradies so you get a shortlist you can compare.
Do I pay the tradie directly?
Yes. Agree the price with your tradie and pay them when you are happy. No platform holding your money.
How are tradies verified?
We check ABN and, where the work is licensed, the licence number on the public register. Households should still sight a current licence on the job, matching the person who attends. See Trust & verification.
Can I browse instead of posting?
Yes. Use Find a tradie to filter by trade and suburb, then request someone, or post open so up to three can respond.
Can I book for a parent?
Yes. Post with their suburb and note you are booking for a parent. You stay the contact.
How fast will I hear back?
Response times vary by trade, suburb and day. We aim for prompt local replies. We will not invent a fixed minute-count until we measure it.
Which areas do you cover?
Greater Brisbane beta, including Logan, Ipswich, Redlands and Moreton Bay as we grow.
