After hours, nobody picks up

Most shops go to voicemail. The one that calls back wants $300 just to come out, and you find out the real price once they're standing in your kitchen.

For pros: you only pay when you get paid

No more buying a phone number that five other pros bought too. Flare sends one job to one pro, with the price already accepted by the customer.
