What we fix

Three trades, one standard of service — vetted, tracked, and warrantied.

An outdoor heat pump and air-conditioning unit installed beside a home.
01

HVAC

AC repair, heating, and routine maintenance.

A pipe wrench and adjustable wrench, the tools of a plumbing repair.
02

Plumbing

Leaks, fixture replacements, and pipe repair.

A tradesperson's gloved hands installing an electrical box.
03

Electrical

Outlets, panels, and wiring done safely.

01The Problem

The lead-generation model is broken for everyone.

Homeowners wait and guess. Providers pay for leads whether they win or not. The platforms profit either way.

01

Homeowners wait

Call five contractors, wait hours, and never know who's coming or when.

02

Providers pay to lose

$30–$80 per lead — even when 5–10 of them compete for the same job and lose.

03

Platforms stay misaligned

Charging per lead rewards volume over outcomes — fake leads, churn, frustration.

02The Model

One job. One provider. Paid only when the work is done.

Zero upfront cost. Zero per-lead fees. No contracts. A commission is owed only when a job is completed and paid.

Homeowners

Sub-90-second dispatch, live GPS tracking, and payment held until the job is done.

Providers

Exclusive dispatch, zero upfront cost, instant payouts, and existing-system integration.

Admins

Full dispatch visibility, fraud controls, quality enforcement, and expansion analytics.

04For Homeowners

Know who's coming, what it costs, and when they'll arrive.

Book in minutes. Track your provider live. Approve every price before it's charged.

01

Two honest pricing tiers

Tier A jobs are a guaranteed flat price. Tier B jobs show a fixed diagnostic fee, then you approve the full quote on arrival — before any work begins.

02

Live GPS tracking

Watch your provider approach on a map with a live countdown, refreshed every 30 seconds. Slip past 10 minutes and you get one proactive heads-up.

03

Automatic 7-day warranty

Every repair carries a 7-day labour warranty with an expiry on your receipt. Same issue returns? Tap “Report an Issue” and your provider comes back free.

04

A real escalation ladder

A persistent “Get Help” button on every active job — late technician, no-show, reschedule.

05For Service Providers

Exclusive jobs. Zero upfront cost. Paid when the work is done.

No per-lead fees. No bidding against 5–10 contractors. Commission only on completed, paid jobs.

06For Technicians

The same professional dispatch — none of the paperwork.

Your business owner is already verified. You don't need to be re-verified to start.

01

No 8-gate verification

The owner vouches for the team. Phone, download link, quick verification — live the same day.

02

Your device, your dispatch

Go online or offline independently. Jobs route by proximity, battery, and quality — per device.

03

Recognized by name

Homeowners see “Carlos from Rodriguez HVAC · ★4.9 · 312 jobs” — the business's reputation, the person at the door.

04

Every protection owners get

Emergency passes, fair cancellation fees, quote and invoice tools, and a private two-way rating system.

07How It Works

From tap to tracked provider — under 90 seconds.

Rink9 notifies a small exclusive tier simultaneously — first to accept wins. From your side, one verified provider is always being matched. The tiering is invisible.

  1. 0–5s

    You submit the job. It's validated and created instantly.

  2. 5–10s

    The engine pulls a pre-ranked pool of eligible providers for your zip code.

  3. 10–20s

    Tier sizes are set by supply and urgency; your payment is authorized — not charged.

  4. 20–30s

    Tier 1 providers are notified simultaneously by push and SMS.

  5. 30–65s

    First acceptance locks the job. If no one accepts, Tier 2 then Tier 3 are notified.

  6. 65–75s

    The moment a provider accepts, GPS tracking goes live and you see who's coming.

One job · one provider

08Trust & Transparency

Built so you never wonder if you're being treated fairly.

Market context, not price-shopping

For diagnostic jobs, see a real range from completed local jobs — shown only once 20+ comparable jobs exist. Context, not a quote.

8-gate provider verification

Identity, license, insurance, background check, registry, skills, profile, and orientation — before a first job.

Payment held until you approve

Your card is authorized, not charged, until you approve the quote and final invoice. Never for work you didn't agree to.

Fair, graduated cancellations

Cancel before dispatch — never charged. Fees scale $10–$40 only once a provider commits real time, and 100% goes to them.
