Express jobs are urgent requests that require immediate response from a contractor.
Ideal for emergency situations such as:
• plumbing emergencies (flooded bathroom, burst pipe)
• electrical emergencies (power outage, short circuit)
• gas and heating problems
• sudden home breakdowns
How do I create an Express job?
1. Select the emergency category (e.g., plumbing, electrical, gas)
2. Describe the problem briefly and specifically
3. Provide your location
4. Accept the Express service terms
5. Publish the job
Contractors in your area with "Available now" enabled will receive an immediate notification.
How quickly will I get a response to an Express job?
Express jobs are prioritized and reach contractors immediately.
Usually, the first responses appear within a few minutes.
Response time depends on:
• availability of contractors in your area
• time of day and day of the week
• type of emergency
Are Express jobs more expensive?
The service price is agreed directly with the contractor.
Express jobs may be more expensive than standard ones because:
• they require immediate response
• often involve emergency situations
• the contractor must interrupt other work
Always agree on the price before work begins.
What if no contractor responds?
If you don't receive a response within 30 minutes:
• check if your location is correct
• expand the problem description
• in life-threatening situations, call emergency services 911
In case of a gas leak, always call the gas emergency line first.
Can I cancel an Express job?
Yes, you can cancel an Express job at any time before a contractor accepts the offer.
After accepting the offer, cancellation may require informing the contractor about the change of plans.
Shortlist and Contractors
What is Shortlisting and how can I contact contractors?
Shortlisting allows you to exchange contact details with contractors who have expressed interest in your job.
This is a key step because it enables you to:
• send messages directly to contractors
• hire the right specialist
• leave a review after the work is completed
If a contractor is not suitable for your job, you can reject their interest and we will notify them.
Can I remove a contractor from my Shortlist?
When you add a contractor to your Shortlist, we inform them that you want to contact them and discuss a quote for your job.
Once contact details are exchanged, you can no longer remove a contractor from your Shortlist.
How does MojFachowiec match contractors to my job?
Connecting contractors with homeowners efficiently means faster and more relevant responses for you, and more Shortlists and jobs for contractors.
When matching contractors to jobs, we consider many factors, including:
• job location
• type of service needed
• level of detail in the job description
• contractors' previous activity on the platform
We also use modern technologies, including machine learning, to continuously improve our matching algorithms and better meet user needs.
I've chosen a contractor from my Shortlist to hire. What should I do next?
Great! You've found a contractor for your job.
After selecting your preferred contractor, click "Yes" on their profile to confirm you've hired them.
This lets other contractors know the job has been filled.
You'll be able to leave a review after the project is completed.
Tip:
We recommend formalizing the agreement in writing with your chosen contractor.
Documentation helps both parties clearly understand their obligations.
While there's always flexibility, setting clear expectations from the start helps avoid misunderstandings later.
