Vaverly
Approved local providers · payment held in escrow

Hire someone you choose.Paid once the work's done.

Vaverly connects Canadians with approved providers. Pick your provider, agree the work in chat, and see a fixed price before you commit. Your payment is held safely until the job is complete.

No payment now. You only pay when you accept a fixed quote.

Two sides of the same broken system.

Homeowner

There's water coming through the ceiling and you're ringing numbers off the internet. Someone says Tuesday. You don't know if they're any good, whether the price is fair, or whether they'll turn up. And you won't know until they do.

Provider

You finish the job, send the invoice, and wait. A week. Two. You send the polite reminder and feel awkward about it. And somebody cancels the morning of, so that's the day gone.

You stay in control at every step.

No algorithm assigns you a stranger. You choose your provider, agree what the job actually is, and see the full price before a dollar moves.

Find someone

Browse approved providers by trade and area, and read what previous customers said.

Agree the work in chat

Message directly to settle scope, access and timing. Nothing is committed until you both know what the job actually is.

Accept the proposal and pay

The provider sends a fixed price for a specific date and time. You see the full total before you accept. Then Vaverly holds your payment.

The work gets done

Payment is released to the provider once the job is complete. Until then it stays with Vaverly.

Built so both sides can relax.

Every provider is approved

Providers can't add themselves to the directory. A profile only appears once Vaverly has approved it.

Payment secured before work starts

You pay Vaverly, not the provider. They can see the money is there; it's released once the job is complete. If the provider cancels, you get all of it back, booking fee included.

You set your own price

No algorithm decides what your work is worth. You see the job, talk to the customer, and quote your real price, every time.

Charged when the job is done

No listing fee, and nothing to pay for sending a quote. Vaverly's share comes out of the payment when the job completes. A slow month costs you nothing.

Reviews written blind

Both sides review each other, and neither review appears until both are written or the 14-day window closes. Nobody writes theirs in response to yours.

Talk before you commit

The conversation is the point. Settle exactly what the job is, together, before any price is fixed or any money moves.

No hidden cut. You always see the full total.

Providers see exactly what they'll receive before sending a quote. Homeowners see the full total before paying. No listing fees, no pay-to-play, no bidding wars.
