You never pay us
GoodTradie is free for homeowners. We don't charge you for finding, checking or booking a tradie, and we don't add a fee to your bill.
The tradie pays us
When we send a job to a tradie, that tradie pays us a referral fee. It is either a fee for each job we send them, or a monthly fee for an area.
It doesn't change your quote
The tradie looks at your job and gives you their own quote. You pay the tradie, only if you take that quote. The referral fee is the tradie's business cost, and we don't add anything on top for you.
We're a referral service, not the tradie
We don't do the work and we aren't your contractor. Your agreement is with the tradie, and so are your rights if the work isn't done properly. The Consumer Guarantees Act says services must be carried out with reasonable care and skill. See Consumer Protection.
One tradie per job
We send your job to one tradie, not a crowd. You aren't asked to compare a pile of quotes. See how we check a tradie.
What that means for you
Because the tradie pays us when a job is sent, we do benefit when you're matched. So we show our workings. We say what we check, and the registers are public so you can look them up yourself. The quote is yours to accept or turn down. A price check is a guide to what a job usually costs in NZ, not a guarantee.
Questions
Do I pay GoodTradie anything?
No. GoodTradie is free for homeowners. You pay the tradie for the job, and only if you take their quote.
Who pays GoodTradie?
The tradie we send your job to. It is a referral fee, either for each job we send or as a monthly fee for an area.
Does the referral fee make my quote higher?
We don't add the referral fee to your quote. The tradie gives you their own quote for your job. We also check the quote against published NZ cost guides, which are a guide and not a guarantee of the lowest price. You can say no to any quote.
Are you the tradie, or the company doing the work?
No. We are a referral service. We find one tradie, check them, and book them in. The tradie does the work and you have your agreement with them.
Why do you send only one tradie?
So you don't have to chase and compare a pile of quotes. We find one local tradie, check them on the public register or for insurance, and they look at the job.
How can I check the tradie myself?
The registers we use are public and free. See how we check a tradie for the links.
