For homeowners

How Tradiespy works
in four steps.

No phone tag, no chasing three tradies for a callback. Post once and let the quotes come to you.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us what's up

    Pick your trade and your town or suburb, describe the job and add photos. Takes about two minutes and it's free.

  2. Step 2

    Quotes come to you

    Verified businesses that cover your area send a price, a start timeline and how long the quote stays valid.

  3. Step 3

    Ask questions in chat

    Every quote has its own chat. Send photos, confirm what's included, and get a feel for who you're dealing with.

  4. Step 4

    Accept the one that suits

    Accept a quote and contact details are shared so the job can get booked in. Leave a review afterwards to help other Kiwis.

Common questions

How much does it cost to use Tradiespy?

Nothing. Posting a job and receiving quotes is free for homeowners. You only ever pay the tradie you choose, at the price you agree with them.

How quickly will I get quotes?

Most jobs get their first quote within the hour during working days. Quiet trades or rural areas can take a little longer.

Am I obligated to accept a quote?

No. Quotes are no-obligation. Compare them, ask questions in chat, and accept only if one suits. You can also let them all expire.

Are the tradies checked?

Every business is reviewed before it can quote. We check the business details they register with (NZBN/ABN), their trade and coverage area, and ID documents. Businesses that get poor feedback can be removed.
