While saving time and money is exciting, 69% of customers have stated that reputation comes before price when hiring tradies (Newspoll Survey sourced by Oneflare). Oneflare has implemented an assortment of trust and safety features to ensure that customers always find a quality service provider. Reviews and ratings by previous customers coupled with business profiles featuring photos, testimonials and verification create an open community on the platform. Oneflare’s Home Care Guarantee also covers customers up to $500 if something goes wrong, providing the ultimate peace of mind no matter the size of the job.
