Frequently Asked Questions

What if I'm not satisfied with the work?

If you're not satisfied, simply don't release the payment from escrow. Contact our support team and we'll mediate the situation. If the issue can't be resolved, you'll receive a full refund. Your money stays protected until you're 100% happy with the results.

How does Kokobeo's escrow payment system work?

When you hire a architect through Kokobeo, your payment is held in a secure escrow account. The funds are only released to the professional when you approve the completed work. This protects you from paying for incomplete or unsatisfactory service, while ensuring the professional gets paid fairly for quality work.

How quickly can I find a architect in Alameda?

Most Alameda professionals respond within 2-4 hours. For emergency services, many are available 24/7 and can arrive within 1-2 hours. You'll typically receive multiple quotes within 24 hours to compare pricing and availability.

What if emergency repairs are needed after hours?

Many professionals on Kokobeo offer 24/7 emergency services. Filter for "Emergency Services" when searching, and you'll see architects available for after-hours, weekend, and holiday emergencies. Escrow protection applies even for urgent calls.

What if I need permits for my project?

Discuss permit requirements with your chosen architect before work begins. Many professionals can obtain necessary permits in Alameda as part of their service. Permit costs and responsibility should be clearly outlined in your agreement before starting any work.

How do milestone payments work?

For larger projects, you can set specific milestones (e.g., 25% after planning, 50% after halfway completion, 25% after final inspection). Payment releases from escrow as each milestone is completed to your satisfaction. This keeps you in control throughout the project.

Can I request specific qualifications or certifications?

Yes! When posting your project, you can specify required certifications, experience levels, or specialized training needed for your job. Professionals without these qualifications won't be able to submit quotes, ensuring you only hear from qualified architects.

What if the professional needs to buy materials?

For fixed-price projects, materials are typically included in the quote. For hourly projects, you can either purchase materials yourself or reimburse the professional. All material costs should be discussed and agreed upon before work begins, with receipts provided for transparency.
