FAQ

Is Genie free to use?

Browsing and posting a project are free; on-demand jobs show an upfront price before you book.

How are pros vetted?

Every pro is identity-verified with reviews, and in-home roles must pass a criminal background check that runs automatically when they apply. Regulated trades add verified licence and insurance, and on team jobs every crew member is checked.

Can I set up recurring service?

Yes — services like cleaning can be booked on a repeating schedule (weekly, biweekly or monthly) so you don't have to rebook each time.

What if a pro doesn't show up?

Genie auto-detects it, dispatches a backup, and re-matches you with priority.

Can Genie handle big renovations?

Yes — post a project and compare itemized quotes from verified pros.
