How ProServiceBid works
Simple steps, protected payments — whether you're hiring or doing the work.
- 1
Post your job
Describe the work, add photos, a budget and timeline. Tick "on-site visit needed" if a pro should see it first.
- 2
Compare bids
Review prices, timelines, ratings, license and insurance side by side. Message pros with questions.
- 3
Hire with confidence
Select a pro at their price or send a custom offer. Agree on payment stages, including materials.
- 4
Pay safely
Funds are held in escrow and only released when you both mark the job complete. Then leave a review.

Compare price, timeline, ratings and credentials in one view.
Platform guarantees
Milestone releases
Pay in stages — materials, progress, final — each approved by you.
Signed work orders & lien waivers
Price and scope are locked in writing, protecting you from surprise liens.
Dispute mediation
Escrow freezes during a dispute while our support team helps resolve it.
Common questions
How do on-site visits work?
Pros set their own visit deposit. The customer books the visit, and the deposit is credited toward the job if that pro is hired. Pros get a reminder to send a quote after the visit.
Can materials be paid up front?
Yes. Mark a payment stage as Materials when agreeing on stages; the customer releases it once the job starts.
Why must contact info stay on ProServiceBid?
Keeping payments on the platform protects both sides with escrow, dispute support and verified reviews. Phone and email sharing unlocks once the job is accepted.
