Products and operation
The platform of MyHammer hosts services available in several home improvement categories such as carpentry, plumbing or gardening. The service is for free for tradesmen and private costumers. After winning a job, tradesmen are required to pay a fee that is 6% of their quote price. Tradesmen could also set the “job radar” for receiving emails about jobs which are specific to their field and locality. Moreover, MyHammer customers can rate the tradesmen and leave feedback. They can also upload pictures so that service providers could see already in advance what needs to be repaired, painted or fixed. The right tradesman may chosen basing on price, qualification, customer feedback or availability. Therefore, the cheapest does not need to be taken.
