How to post a project that gets real quotes

City, photos and a budget range. Montreal-area pros can answer. Empty posts get silence.

A HandNorth project that gets quotes names the work, the city, a budget range and shows photos. Verified Montreal-area pros can answer. A one-line post with no photos and a city we do not serve will sit quiet — we will not invent a “70% hire rate” to hide that.

1 What to include

  • The job in plain English (bathroom remodeling, deck, assembly)
  • Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, Brossard, Terrebonne — or say you are waiting on a new city
  • A budget range you can actually pay, tax included in your head
  • Photos of the room or the item
  • Access notes: condo, parking, preferred weekdays

Open Post a project. Need an account first? Create account as Hire. You can also start from a profile on Find a pro.

2 After you post

Quotes arrive in My projects. Compare the all-in number, the start window and the verification on the pro. Hire one. Card checkout is on the way — write hello@handnorth.com to hold a deposit by hand. The public catalog is still four companies; independent contractors you hire from a lead are not automatically added to that grid.

Questions people ask

Is posting free?
Yes. Hiring is free for homeowners. Card checkout is on the way — a booking request does not charge a card today.
