Job

It goes to a pro near you. Finding one can take up to a day.
If a pro accepts it, they're asked to call you at your number within 30 minutes.
You agree on the day and the price, and pay the pro directly.

Free to post. You and the pro settle the price by phone, and you pay them directly.

Jobs with a Raleigh page

Each page has Raleigh prices with their sources and a sample post.

The city's noise rules allow repair work on a house from 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Outside those hours it needs a permit. Mowers and leaf blowers may run in the daytime, 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. (City Code, Chapter 5).

Old furniture can go to the curb as a bulky load: four cubic yards, about two couches, for $35 a load since April 1, 2026. Book it at 919-996-3245. Cardboard, yard waste and construction debris don't go in it.

Only 3.8% of Raleigh's homes were built before 1950, but they bunch up inside the Beltline: a third of the homes in 27608, around Five Points, are that old. Walls from then are often plaster, so put the year of the house in a post about hanging or patching.

Questions

Small ones a pro can finish in one visit: help with a move, hauling, mounting a TV, handyman fixes, raking, putting furniture together, errands and cleaning. The jobs above have their own Raleigh page with local prices.

Nothing. You write what you would pay, that number is in front of the pro before the phone rings, and the two of you agree on the price on that call. You pay the pro, and HandsNearby takes no cut.

If a pro accepts your job, they're asked to call within 30 minutes. When that half hour passes with no call, another pro near your ZIP gets it. A post written late at night goes out in the morning.
