Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pause a project midway?

Yes, though it's best to discuss this possibility upfront with your handyman. For milestone-based projects, you can pause between milestones. Any completed work will be calculated and paid from escrow, with remaining funds available when you're ready to resume.

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.

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.

Can I communicate directly with the professional?

Absolutely! Once you select a handyman, 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.

Are there any hidden fees?

No hidden fees ever. The price you see when hiring a handyman is exactly what you pay. Our small service fee is clearly displayed before you commit. Professionals cannot add surprise charges - any additional costs must be approved by you before work proceeds.

What geographic areas do you serve?

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

What if weather delays my outdoor project?

Weather delays are common for outdoor work. Discuss contingency plans with your handyman upfront. For fixed-price projects, reasonable weather delays typically don't affect pricing. For hourly projects, you only pay for time actually worked. Your escrow remains protected during delays.

Can businesses use Kokobeo?

Absolutely! Many businesses use Kokobeo for commercial projects, ongoing maintenance, and emergency services. The escrow protection works the same way, ensuring quality work whether you're a homeowner or business owner needing a reliable handyman in Barnstable.
