How bidding works

Two parties quote. Both parties agree. Then work begins.

Servlets replaces opaque dispatch with an open, on-the-record bidding process. Here is every step, start to finish.

  1. 1 · You post a job

    Pick a category, describe the work, add photos, choose urgency and a budget range. Your exact address and phone are never shown publicly — providers only see your area.

  2. 2 · Providers bid

    Verified independent workers and local businesses submit quotes: amount, what's included, how long it takes, when they can start, and any warranty. Businesses nominate which team member would come.

  3. 3 · Negotiate

    Shortlist the bids you like. Message any bidder with questions. Either side can send one or more counter-offers until the number feels right.

  4. 4 · Accept & agree

    Accept a bid and Servlets drafts a plain-language agreement: scope of work, final price, platform fee, payout, cancellation terms. Both parties e-sign before anything begins.

  5. 5 · Work happens

    Contact details are shared. The provider marks the job started, then completed. Payment sits in escrow the whole time.

  6. 6 · Confirm & rate

    You confirm completion, escrow releases to the provider minus the platform fee, and you both leave a rating. Disputes pause the release for review.
