Contractor FAQs

Working on Defectly - answered

Setting up a contractor profile is free. You can receive direct assignments and quote requests at no cost. Premium contractor accounts (priority directory placement, verified badge, featured listing) are available as an optional upgrade.
Property managers, private landlords and homeowners using Defectly to track defects on their properties. They search the contractor directory by trade and location, then assign work directly or request competitive quotes for specific defects.
After a defect is verified as resolved, the property owner can leave a review based on quality of work, communication and timeliness. Reviews are tied to specific completed assignments - no fake or unverified reviews.
No, but accreditations and qualifications you upload (Gas Safe, NICEIC, Trustmark etc.) are displayed prominently on your profile and earn you a verification badge that significantly improves search visibility.
Yes. Defectly works in any modern mobile browser, so you can review the defect, see photos, ask clarifying questions and submit a quote with timeline straight from your phone on a job site.
Payment arrangements are between you and the property owner - Defectly does not handle billing. The platform keeps a clear record of agreed scope, completion photos and review which makes invoicing straightforward and disputes rare.
