How It Works
Work Sheriff is an online platform that connects homeowners and tradespeople for any home improvement project.
Homeowners post their jobs and receive bids from multiple
tradespeople without requiring a site visit.
When homeowners find the right trade person for their job,
they put money in the Work Sheriff ESCROW account; this is the same type of
account used when money and contracts are exchanged during the purchase of a
house.
When the job is complete, the money is released to the tradesperson.
Work Sheriff ensures transparency, trust, and fairness for
both parties by providing a paper trail and site rules for each job. Work
Sheriff is user-friendly, with tick boxes, picture attachments, YouTube clips,
and a very well-programmed AI chat option to answer general questions and guide
homeowners and tradespeople through the process. Work Sheriff also resolves
disputes by using the evidence from both parties and the original job post
