Escrow for bigger projects
How escrow protects youPay milestone by milestone. Never up front.
Remodels and other quoted projects run on a contract. Each milestone is funded into escrow and released only when you approve the work.
- 01
Agree on milestones
Your contractor turns the quote into a contract with clear milestones, amounts and dates. You both accept it.
- 02
Fund one milestone
Pay by bank transfer at no extra cost, or by card. The money is locked in escrow, not paid to the pro.
- 03
Review the work
The pro submits notes on the finished work. You have 5 days to approve, request changes or open a dispute.
- 04
Release and repeat
Approve and the payment is released instantly. Disputed funds stay frozen until a mediator decides.
Escrow protection: 1.9% per milestoneHeld in a segregated escrow accountMediation decision within 5 business days
