The job is already sold. You're just showing up.
Every job that hits your phone is customer-initiated, price-qualified, and scheduled around their availability. Not a lead. A live job.
You've been burned before. Angi's charged you for leads that went nowhere. Thumbtack put you in a bidding war. A GC slow-paid you 60 days after the job closed. We know — because every contractor we talk to says the same thing.
GotaGuy is not that. There is no lead fee. No monthly subscription. No pay-to-play. No app to log into. Our fee is collected at customer payment before your payout hits. You don't owe us anything after that — no invoice, no chasing. If you don't get paid, we don't get paid.
We get that it sounds too good to be true. Keep reading.
Your only decision when a job hits your phone: CLAIM it or let it pass. That's it.
We send you a job by text
You get a text with the job type, neighborhood, and a price range the homeowner has already agreed to. Reply CLAIM [job number] to take it.
Show up and agree on a final price
Walk the job with the homeowner and land on an exact number within the range they already agreed to. If you get on site and find the job is bigger than expected — something behind a wall, under a sink, anything you couldn't see upfront — you and the homeowner agree on a new number. That updated number goes into the system and is what gets charged. No surprises for either side.
Do the work, text DONE
When the job is complete, text DONE [job number]. The homeowner confirms and payment hits your debit card the same day.
No lead fees. No monthly costs. No sign-up charges. Our fee is collected at customer payment — you receive your portion directly to your debit card the same day the job closes.
We keep the roster small by design. A smaller roster means more jobs per contractor, not less. We're not trying to put 500 plumbers in a market — we're trying to find the five that show up on time and do quality work.
Every contractor is brought on through a personal conversation. We verify through GC references, builder relationships, or a Google Business Profile. If a contractor generates homeowner complaints or stops performing, they're off. The contractors on this roster will be people who operate the way you do.
If that sounds like you, the number at the bottom of this page is the next step.
