Prices come from Taskly’s GTA rate table — the same engine that suggests budgets on the platform (market-checked, version 7). On Taskly the price you accept is a fixed offer, not a meter.
What moves the price
- Scope — a list of small fixes in one visit beats separate callouts.
- Licensed-trade work (electrical panels, gas, major plumbing) prices higher and needs the right licence — Taskly gates those tasks.
- Materials: who supplies them, and pickup time if the Tasker does.
- Access and parking — downtown condos with loading docks take longer.
