No lead fees. You never pay to see a task or to make an offer on one.
The posted budget is the poster’s starting point. Your offer is yours.
The poster’s money is held by Taskly before you start the work.
Charged only when you complete a task. Nothing is deducted for quoting.
Payment releases when the poster confirms, or automatically 3 days after the work is done.
Open tasks are public. Filter by category and area, or let new ones find you.
Say what you would charge and how you would approach it. Quoting is free.
The poster confirms and payment releases — automatically after 3 days if they do not.
The problem with small repairs has never been finding them, it is finding enough of them close together to make the day worth driving. Tasks here carry the poster's own budget and their address, so you can build a run of four in one area rather than crossing the city for one shelf.
Mounting, assembly, a door that will not latch, the picture rail somebody has been meaning to fix since spring. Mostly under two hours and mostly things a person with a drill and some judgement can do properly. The awkward ones — old plaster, no stud where the bracket needs one — are worth flagging in your offer.
Burlington is a band of city between the lake and the escarpment, and it has run out of room. Almost everything north of Dundas Street is protected rural land, so the new building here is infill and downtown towers rather than subdivisions, and the housing stock is mostly mid-century with the occasional high-rise dropped in beside it.
The Niagara Escarpment crosses the top of Burlington — Mount Nemo, the Bruce Trail, and the provincial plan that protects them — and it is the reason the city stops where it does. Rural Burlington above the brow is long private drives, wells and septic beds, and a call up there is a different task from one in Aldershot even though the address says the same city.
Downtown Burlington was a low-rise main street and is now taking high-rise infill on the same grid. The combination is specific to it: a new tower with a booked service lift on one corner and, on the next, a 1950s walk-up with no lift, no loading zone and a rear yard reached through the building. The work changes completely across one intersection.
Burlington’s eastern connection funnels into the Burlington Bay Skyway, where the QEW crosses the harbour. When the Skyway is closed or backed up the alternatives are slow and few, so anything booked in Burlington and Hamilton on the same day should be priced with the bridge in it. No other town on this list depends on a single high-level crossing that way.
Tasks come from Aldershot, Millcroft, The Orchard, Brant Hills, Roseland and Downtown Burlington. You set the area you travel to, so you only see the ones you would actually take.
Questions
The ones people in this trade actually ask before they sign up.
Taskly is new in the GTA. Fewer Taskers means your offer actually gets read instead of sitting behind two hundred others — and the people here first will hold the first reviews.
Every word of that is true, and it is the argument no big platform can copy.
