Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a fee to use Kokobeo?

Getting quotes and browsing professionals is completely free. A small service fee is added when you hire a carpenter, which covers our escrow protection, platform maintenance, and customer support. The fee is clearly shown before you commit to any hiring decision.

How quickly can I find a carpenter in Berkeley?

Most Berkeley 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 makes Kokobeo different from other platforms?

Our escrow payment system is the key difference. Unlike platforms where you pay directly to contractors, Kokobeo holds payment securely until you approve work. Combined with verified professionals, transparent pricing, and dispute resolution, we provide unmatched protection for every carpenter you hire.

Can I hire for recurring services?

Yes! Many customers set up recurring arrangements for regular maintenance, cleaning, or ongoing services. You can establish a schedule with your carpenter, with each appointment protected by escrow. This ensures consistent quality even for routine work.

How does Kokobeo's escrow payment system work?

When you hire a carpenter 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 does Kokobeo verify professional credentials?

We verify every carpenter through a multi-step process: license verification with state agencies, insurance confirmation, background checks, reference checks, and identity verification. Only professionals passing all checks can join our platform and accept jobs.

How do I know my personal information is secure?

We use bank-level encryption for all data transmission and storage. Payment information is processed through secure, PCI-compliant systems. We never share your personal details with professionals until you choose to hire them, and you control what information is shared.

What if weather delays my outdoor project?

Weather delays are common for outdoor work. Discuss contingency plans with your carpenter 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.
