How it works

Zip finds the one best pro in your area — then handles the awkward parts: a clear price up front, a firm number after they take a look, and the option to pay over time.

  1. 1 Tell us the job — and snap a photo.

    Enter your zip, describe what you need, and add a quick picture of the problem. The photo helps your pro understand the job before they ever visit.

  2. 2 We match you with your one vetted pro.

    Zip finds the professional we believe is the best in your area — background-checked, with license and insurance confirmed. One pro per zip, no bidding war.

  3. 3 Get an estimate up front.

    Your pro reviews the details and sends a good-faith price range — before anyone comes out. No sitting through a sales visit just to learn what it might cost.

  4. 4 Approve the firm price.

    Like the estimate? Your pro takes a closer look in person and confirms the exact price. You approve the final number before any work begins — no surprises.

  5. 5 Pay — and finance if you want to.

    Pay securely through Zip instead of cash to a stranger, and spread a big project into a monthly payment. Secure payment and financing are coming soon.

Pros stay accountable, and pricing stays clear.

Every professional is scored on customer satisfaction and response time — if they don’t perform, they’re removed. And you never pay to be matched or to get an estimate; you only pay for the work you approve.
