Boojee Maintenance Manual
Post a property job free, get competing bids from verified contractors, and Boojee holds the money in escrow — funds release only on your approval.
Overview
Boojee Maintenance is a two-sided contractor bid marketplace. Homeowners post a project for free and receive real bids from license- and insurance-verified contractors — not a lead shared with four competitors. You choose who to hire, and your payment is held in Boojee-managed escrow, released only when you approve the finished work. Contractors apply free, pass a one-time verification, and bid on real jobs with no monthly subscription and no lead-purchase fees — Boojee takes a 10% platform fee only when a job is won and completed.
Getting Started
Homeowners
- Open Boojee Maintenance and start the "Post a Job" form (it's free — no account or subscription required).
- Pick your job category, describe the project, upload photos, and set a rough budget. Takes about 5 minutes.
- Boojee routes your project to verified contractors in your area; most projects receive 2–4 bids within 48 hours.
- Compare bids by scope, timeline, and contractor credentials, then pick your contractor.
- Once work begins, your payment is held in escrow and released only on your approval.
Contractors
- Submit the contractor interest form: name, trade/specialty, service area, license number (if applicable), and email.
- Boojee verifies your state license, insurance certificate, and business history (typically 1–3 business days).
- Get matched to real jobs in your trade and area, bid directly to the homeowner, and get paid on completion.

Troubleshooting
- Contractor form won't submit — Check that the required fields (name, trade, service area, email) are complete. If it still fails, email contractors@boojee.estate directly.
- No bids yet — Most projects get bids within 48 hours; ensure your posting has a clear description, photos, and a rough budget so contractors can respond confidently.
- Verification is taking a while (contractors) — License, insurance, and business-history checks typically take 1–3 business days; you'll be emailed when complete.
