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.
Pickering is a lakeshore town with a rural back half. South of the 401 is 1970s and 1980s subdivision plus the towers at the GO station; north of it is Seaton, a greenfield community still being built, and beyond that farmland, hamlets and federal land that has been held for fifty years.
Seaton is a planned community going up on greenfield north of the 401, and much of it is occupied while the rest is still being built. That means addresses map services have not caught up with, roads that end without warning, and a concentration of first-occupancy work — blinds, mounting, assembly, yard finishing — in one place. Nowhere else in Durham is being built at that scale at once.
Pickering has a nuclear generating station on its waterfront and Rouge National Urban Park along its western boundary. Both are large and neither carries through traffic, so the crossings between Pickering and Scarborough are fewer than the map suggests. Travel time out of west Pickering is worth checking before two bookings are put on the same afternoon.
North Pickering is farmland, conservation land and hamlets — Claremont, Whitevale, Greenwood — much of it on land the federal government expropriated in 1972 for an airport that was never built and still owns. Addresses up there are on well and septic, the driveways are long, and winter access is a real question. It is a different task from the same work in Pickering City Centre.
Tasks come from Bay Ridges, Liverpool, Amberlea, Rougemount, Seaton and Dunbarton. 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.
