How It Works

Tradybay is an online platform that connects homeowners and tradespeople for any home improvement project.

Homeowners post their jobs and receive bids from multiple tradespeople without requiring a site visit.

When homeowners find the right tradesperson for their job, they put money in the Tradybay ESCROW-style account; this is the same type of account used when money and contracts are exchanged during the purchase of a house.

When the job is complete, the money is released to the tradesperson.

Tradybay ensures transparency, trust, and fairness for both parties by providing a paper trail and site rules for each job. TradyBay is user-friendly, with tick boxes, picture attachments, YouTube clips, and a very well-programmed AI chat option to answer general questions and guide homeowners and tradespeople through the process. Tradybay also resolves disputes by using the evidence from both parties and the original job post.
