Questions

No. You post the job, and one pro nearby takes it and calls you. There is no list of pros to scroll through.

You and the pro, on the call. You pay what you two agree on, straight to the pro.

If a pro accepts your job, they're asked to call within 30 minutes. If they don't, the job goes to the next pro. A job posted late at night goes out in the morning.

If no pro accepts it within about a day, you get an email and owe nothing. Posting is free, so you can post it again with another day or a few more details.

Labor-only jobs: moving help, hauling, furniture assembly, yard work, cleaning and odd jobs.

No. HandsNearby works in the browser on your phone or computer, so there is nothing to download.
