Step 1

Post your job

Tell us what you need done, where, and when. Include photos if it helps — workers can see exactly what they're quoting on.

It takes about two minutes, and it's completely free to post. Your job goes out to qualified workers in your area straight away.

Shalini found it "very efficient and simple" — that's the idea.

Step 2

Chat & compare quotes

Workers who can do the job send you quotes. You can chat with them directly — ask about their experience, timeline, approach.

Read their reviews from other customers. Compare pricing. Take your time choosing — there's no pressure to commit until you're ready.

As one customer said: "Customer service was amazing, kept in contact and always transparent the whole way through."

FAQ

Common questions

Yes, completely free. You post a job, workers quote on it, and you only pay when you've hired someone and the work is done.

Most jobs get their first quote within a few hours. Popular services like cleaning and handyman work often get multiple quotes the same day.

Workers build their reputation through customer reviews. You can see their full review history, ratings, and completed job count before hiring. For licensed trades (electrical, plumbing), workers must hold the appropriate NZ trade qualifications.

Goodnest holds your payment until you confirm the job is done. If something's not right, reach out to our support team — we'll work with you and the worker to resolve it.

Just about anything: cleaning, plumbing, electrical, gardening, building, repairs, dog walking, removals, IT help, painting, and dozens more. If you're not sure, post it anyway — if there's a worker in Auckland who does it, they'll find your job.

No obligation at all. You can review quotes, chat with workers, and decide in your own time. If none of the quotes work for you, that's fine.
