Frequently Asked Questions

Are all professionals on Kokobeo licensed and insured?

Yes. Every plumber on our platform is verified, licensed (where required by CA law), and carries appropriate insurance. We conduct background checks and verify credentials before approving any professional to join Kokobeo.

How does the review system work?

After project completion, both you and the plumber can leave reviews. Reviews are only published after payment is released, ensuring honest feedback. This helps future customers make informed decisions and motivates professionals to consistently deliver excellent work.

How does Kokobeo verify professional credentials?

We verify every plumber 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 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 plumber you hire.

How do I compare multiple quotes effectively?

Look beyond just price - consider professional ratings, completed projects, response time, and proposal details. The lowest quote isn't always the best value. Read reviews from past customers to understand the quality and reliability each plumber provides.

Can I provide my own materials or equipment?

Absolutely! Discuss this with your plumber 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.

Can I hire a plumber 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.
