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