How to Write a Better Home-Service Job Post

The photos, measurements, timing, and access details that help local contractors respond thoughtfully. 5 min read.

A strong job post helps the right professionals decide whether to apply. Start with a plain-language title, the current condition, the desired result, and the approximate size or number of rooms.

Add photos that clarify scope

Use well-lit overview and detail photos. Remove mail, family photographs, people, security panels, keys, and other private information from the frame.

Explain access and timing

Mention occupied spaces, parking, elevators, working-hour restrictions, ceiling height, material readiness, and preferred start timing. Use a broad area or postal code, not an exact address.

Make responses easier to compare

If you include a budget, use one amount or a CAD range. Ask applicants to explain availability, relevant experience, assumptions, and what their proposed amount includes.
