Frequently Asked Questions

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.

How can I become a professional on Kokobeo?

If you're a licensed painter looking to grow your business, visit our Professional Sign-Up page. You'll need to provide license information, insurance details, and pass our verification process. Once approved, you can start receiving project requests and building your reputation on our platform.

Can I get a written contract?

Yes! We encourage written agreements for larger projects. Many painters 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.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

You can cancel or reschedule before work begins without penalty. Once work has started, cancellation terms depend on your agreement with the painter. Any work completed up to cancellation point will be calculated, and unused funds remain in your escrow for future projects.

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.

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 painters available for after-hours, weekend, and holiday emergencies. Escrow protection applies even for urgent calls.

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 hire a painter for same-day service?

Yes! Many Berkeley 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.
