To get quotes from tradies, post your job for free on Service.com.au. This works for any job, from a handyman, gardener or window cleaner to gutter cleaning, couch cleaning, cooktop repairs or an evaporative cooler service. Local tradies who cover your area and trade see your job and contact you, then you compare them and choose.

Once your job is posted, Select View your job on the dashboard. If you didn't have an account yet, one is set up for you when your job is posted.
What happens after you post a job
Your job goes to tradies who cover your area and trade. Interested tradies get in touch with you by message or phone. Getting quotes is free, and you don't have to hire anyone.
To see who has responded, Go to Jobs. Your current jobs are under Open and finished jobs are under Completed. Open a job to see who responded, what they cost and what to do next. Messages from tradies are in your Inbox.
Post another job, or jobs for different trades
Post a separate job for each thing you need done, so each one reaches the right tradies. For example, post one job for a gardener and another for gutter cleaning.
