Pros Guidelines
We work hard to uphold these guidelines not only because we truly believe in being open and honest, but so that everyone can enjoy our marketplace.
For every Pro in our Community
We’re passionate about connecting people ready to work with people who need work done. As TradiePro continues to grow it’s important that the community follows guidelines that reflect our values and standards of behaviour. We work hard to enforce these guidelines so that we can maintain our authenticity and transparency, so that everyone has an enjoyable experience.
TradiePro is here to help facilitate a reliable, safe and successful environment and is here to help resolve issues should they arise. In return, we ask for your cooperation and timely response to the TradiePro team. If you suspect a member has violated any Community Guidelines, please report it to TradiePro ASAP.

Pros are expected to provide the services as agreed with the Poster.

If the Pro assigned chooses to subcontract others to perform the services agreed with the Poster, the Pro must gain the Poster’s consent. The Pro assigned to the job must also ensure that all Pros assisting them have an TradiePro user account.
For jobs completed in-person, you must attend to check that the job requirements are met even if you requested other Pros to assist with the job.
