Before hiring, ask what similar jobs the artisan has done, whether inspection has a fee, when they can start, what materials are needed, what is excluded from the price, how long the work should take, and what happens if the first fix does not solve the problem. For urgent jobs, ask for the earliest realistic arrival time instead of accepting vague promises. For larger jobs, request milestones. On MSpace, keep the answers in chat before booking so both sides can refer back to them.
Practical checklist
- Describe the job with photos, location, timing, and urgency.
- Ask what is included and what may cost extra.
- Compare profile details, reviews, and response quality.
- Keep important agreements inside the app where possible.
- Use support or dispute tools if a booking becomes unsafe or unclear.
