Tell us what needs doing at your home. A verified tradesperson who covers your postal code will get in touch to talk it through, so you aren't left ringing around or sorting through adverts.
A verified professional will get in touch.
You get a better conversation, and a more useful quote, when you arrive with the basics.
Describe the problem or the result you are after, not the fix you think you need. A good tradesperson will diagnose it.
A leaking pipe cannot wait. A new kitchen can. Say which, so you are matched and called accordingly.
The age of the furnace or roof, the model number on an appliance and a few clear photos make a quote far more accurate.
An itemized quote, the tradesperson's licence number and proof of insurance. Good tradespeople expect these requests.
We'd rather connect you with the right provider once than flood your inbox with a dozen you'll never call back.
A roofer and a plumber are different jobs. You hear from someone who does the work you described and covers your postal code.
You can explain the job, ask questions and get an idea of the next step, with no pressure to book.
A verified tradesperson gets in touch, not a list of firms all competing to reach you first.
No. Namoye is a free matching service. It doesn't do the work, set prices or guarantee anyone's workmanship. The tradesperson who contacts you is responsible for the job and for any quote they give.
No. Prices depend on the job, your home and your area, so a quote comes from the tradesperson after they understand what's involved. Ask for it in writing and itemized.
Licensing in Canada is set by each province and territory, and the rules differ by trade. Electrical, plumbing, gas and many other trades require a licence or certification, and in Quebec contractors generally need a licence from the Régie du bâtiment. Ask for the licence number and proof of insurance, and check it yourself with the provincial regulator.
Some work needs a building, electrical or plumbing permit from your municipality, and some must be done by a licensed tradesperson who can arrange inspections. Ask the tradesperson what applies to your job and who arranges it.
Provincial consumer protection laws apply to many home service contracts, including rules for written contracts and cooling-off periods for agreements made at your door or in your home. In Ontario, for example, door-to-door sales of some products such as furnaces, air conditioners and water heaters are banned. Ask for the terms in writing, and check what applies in your province.
Raise it with the tradesperson first, in writing. If it isn't resolved, your provincial consumer protection office can explain your options, and the licensing body can look into licensed trades. Keep your contract, photos and receipts.
No. You can ask questions, compare, and walk away.
Describe the problem in the message box, such as a damp patch on the ceiling or a furnace that has stopped, and we'll match you with someone who can point you in the right direction.
What the problem is or what you want done, how urgent it is, photos if you have them, and your postal code. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.
No to both. A verified tradesperson contacts you, and Namoye is free for you.
Namoye is a free matching service. It is not a tradesperson or contractor and doesn't do, price or guarantee the work. Any quote comes from the tradesperson who contacts you. Check their licence, insurance and references with your province's licensing body before work starts.
