Frequently Asked Questions

Can I hire a local moving for same-day service?

Yes! Many Ames professionals offer same-day service, especially for urgent repairs. When posting your project, indicate that you need immediate service and available professionals will respond quickly. Emergency 24/7 services are also available.

Can I provide my own materials or equipment?

Absolutely! Discuss this with your local moving when getting quotes. Many customers prefer purchasing their own materials for quality control or cost savings. Make sure both parties agree on material responsibilities, warranty implications, and any liability considerations.

What geographic areas do you serve?

Kokobeo serves all of Ames and surrounding areas in IA. Our network includes professionals willing to travel throughout the region. When posting your project, you'll see which local movings serve your specific location and their travel policies.

What if I have a complaint about a professional?

Contact our customer support immediately with your concerns. We take all complaints seriously and investigate thoroughly. Your escrow payment remains protected during investigation. Depending on the issue, we'll mediate, arrange corrections, or process refunds as appropriate.

Can I communicate directly with the professional?

Absolutely! Once you select a local moving, you can communicate directly through our platform's messaging system. This allows you to discuss project details, share photos, ask questions, and coordinate schedules while keeping everything documented for your protection.

Can I hire the same local moving for multiple projects?

Definitely! Once you find a local moving you trust, you can hire them again directly through Kokobeo. Many customers build ongoing relationships with professionals for regular maintenance or multiple projects, with the same escrow protection every time.

How does Kokobeo's escrow payment system work?

When you hire a local moving 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.

Can I get a written contract?

Yes! We encourage written agreements for larger projects. Many local movings provide detailed proposals or contracts outlining scope, timeline, and pricing. These documents supplement our platform's standard terms and your escrow protection for complete clarity.
