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.
Whitby is two settlements with a gap between them. The lakeshore town runs from the harbour up to Taunton Road; Brooklin sits on its own several kilometres north, past open fields and the 407. They share a municipal address and almost nothing else about how the work in them runs.
Brooklin has its own nineteenth-century main street at Baldwin and Winchester, its own older housing on deep lots, and newer subdivision wrapped around the outside of it. It is far enough from the lakeshore half of Whitby that a morning booking downtown and an afternoon booking in Brooklin is a real trip rather than crossing a neighbourhood.
Durham Region’s headquarters, its council chamber and much of its administration sit on Rossland Road in Whitby, alongside the regional police headquarters. That makes the middle of an otherwise residential town an office district: security desks, after-hours access and a facilities contact instead of a resident. Ajax and Pickering have no equivalent concentration.
Between Taunton Road and Brooklin, Whitby is agricultural: fields, farm lanes and a handful of concession roads carrying all of the traffic. Those roads clear differently from a subdivision street after snow, and an address on one of them in January is a different commitment from the same address in June.
Tasks come from Brooklin, Port Whitby, Pringle Creek, Williamsburg, Rolling Acres and Downtown Whitby. 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.
