When and how you get paid

Last updated: July 2026

FastHands has not launched yet. This describes how it works at launch, so you know what you are signing up for. Join the waitlist to be first when we go live in LA.

The homeowner pays you directly. FastHands does not hold the money, so the signed agreement is what records what you are owed — the scope, the price and the timeline, agreed before you start.

The sequence

  • Agreement signed — scope, price and timeline on record.
  • You do the work.
  • You mark the job complete and submit photo proof. This is required — no photos, no release.
  • The homeowner confirms the work, or flags a problem.
  • If they flag a problem, we review it against the signed agreement, the chat history and your photos.

Escrow is coming soon. When it launches, the homeowner will fund the agreed price up front and payment will release to you after the work is submitted — removing the risk of chasing a customer for money.

What you receive

The agreed price, paid to you by the homeowner. FastHands charges you at most 15% — so you keep at least 85% of the job. Details in what FastHands charges.

Photo proof is not bureaucracy

It is the thing that protects you in a dispute. If a customer flags a problem, the review looks at the agreement, the chat, and your photos. A contractor with clear before-and-after photos and a specific signed scope is in a strong position. One without them is arguing from memory.

If a customer disputes

We review it against the record. It is not a judgment on you, and it is not decided by who complains loudest — it is decided against what was agreed and what the photos show.
