Built for verified local work, not anonymous lead selling.
Housio keeps matching, messaging, payments, and reviews connected to real homeowner requests so both sides have a clearer record of the job.
Practical trust layers for local services.
Profile review
Directory claims can be reviewed before they are promoted as verified local pro profiles.
In-app messaging
Homeowners and pros can keep job scope, quotes, and updates in one thread.
Verified reviews
Reviews are intended to come from completed Housio jobs, reducing fake or anonymous ratings.
Designed to protect both sides.
Housio payment flows use Stripe infrastructure. Homeowners can authorize payment when accepting a quote, and pros can set up payouts through Stripe Connect.
Quote accepted
The homeowner selects a quote and starts secure payment authorization.
Work completed
The pro marks the job complete and the homeowner can confirm completion.
Payout released
The pro receives payment less the Housio platform fee for completed paid work.
