How GigNGo works

Post it. Watch them work. Hire the one you'd let in.

GigNGo puts you in front of the locals near you, and shows you how they work before anyone comes to your door. Pick your side to see how it goes.

If you need help

One request, from the post to the knock on the door.

  1. You postFree, about a minute

    Say what needs doing, the way you'd ask a neighbor.

    Add a photo if it helps. Posting is free, and you don't need the app to do it. Not sure what work like yours costs? Check the cost guides first.

    Example post

    Two bedroom walls, about 12 by 14

    Paint's already bought, a soft grey. Furniture is moved to the middle. Any day this weekend works.

  2. Locals offerFrom near you

    Locals nearby hear about it, and the ones who want it offer.

    Each offer comes from a real person with a name, a town and the work they've filmed. Locals don't pay a lead fee to reach you, so you hear from people, not a call center.

  3. You watchBefore anyone comes over

    Watch how they work, and see what neighbors say.

    Every local has a profile at their own address, with clips of real work and reviews from people they worked for. Got a price and not sure about it? Run it through the quote checker.

  4. You talkIn the app

    Sort out the details together.

    Agree on a time and a price in the chat. Your local can send a written, itemized invoice right in the conversation if you want it on paper. Anything that feels wrong can be reported from the chat itself.

    Loved the room in your video. Could you do Saturday?

    Saturday morning works. I'll bring drop cloths and tape.

    Great, see you at 9.

  5. You pay themDirectly

    Pay the local directly. Nothing comes out of the job.

    Cash, Venmo, Zelle, whatever the two of you agree on. GigNGo never holds the money and never takes a cut, so the price you agree is the price that gets paid.

    Painting, two walls$240.00
    GigNGo fee$0.00
    Paid to your local$240.00
    Example
  6. Next timeOne tap

    Keep the ones who did right by you.

    Rate each other when it's done, and the next neighbor sees it. The locals you liked are there for the next request, so you don't start over.

What you get

  • Free to post. Messaging locals costs nothing.
  • Nothing comes out of the job. You pay the local directly. No commission, and no lead fees on their side either.
  • Their work, before they arrive. Clips of real work, under their own name and town.

Effort you can see

Their work is their introduction.

To get work here, a local films the jobs they do, under their own name and town, and keeps doing it. That takes real effort, and it shows you how they work before they're at your door.

It isn't a background check, so meet them and ask questions first.

Questions

Common questions

Is GigNGo free?

For homeowners, yes: posting, browsing locals and messaging cost nothing. For locals, making a profile and posting your work clips is free, and offering on requests takes a GigNGo Membership. Nobody pays a commission on a job.

How does GigNGo make money?

From locals who choose a GigNGo Membership, which lets them offer on requests near them and puts their profile ahead in local search. Nothing is taken out of a job, nobody pays per lead, and homeowners are never charged. See the membership.

How do locals get paid?

Directly by the homeowner: cash, Venmo, Zelle, or whatever both agree on. GigNGo doesn't process the payment, so there are no processing fees and locals keep every dollar.

What if something goes wrong?

Any request or conversation can be reported from inside the app, and the report carries the recent messages with it. Posts are checked for scams before they reach locals, and an account that draws repeat reports is hidden while it's reviewed.

How do I know who to trust?

GigNGo doesn't run background checks or confirm licenses. What you get instead is their work on camera, their town and what neighbors say about them, so talk before anyone comes over and check a license where your state requires one.

What can I post?

Most things around a home or yard: cleaning, yard work, handyman repairs, painting, moving help, assembly, pressure washing and hundreds more. If it's work a local could do at your place, post it.

Do I need the app?

No. You can post and browse right here on gigngo.org. The app adds notifications and, for locals, the live map of requests.
