Better job info, ready homeowners, fewer surprises before you quote.
The exhausting part is everything that happens before and after you turn a wrench.
evengate. is built to reduce that friction before the truck rolls.
The homeowner explains the issue during intake. evengate. turns that into a contractor brief: the homeowner's own words, photos, timing, the full intake conversation, and a summary of what intake settled and what it did not. You see it before you commit time. Quote if it fits, pass, or ask to see the job first.
You set your price and terms when you quote. Can’t price it from what’s here? Ask for a walkthrough and see the job first.
The homeowner's own words, photos, timing and the intake conversation, before you spend a minute on it.
Price it from what's there, pass, or ask to see the job first. Nobody sees your number but the homeowner.
The homeowner's card is held at acceptance. When the job is signed off, the payment less our fees is credited to your Stripe account. Bank payments take up to four business days to clear. Stripe pays your balance out to your bank on your own payout schedule.
The costs you can't see are bigger than any fee, and you're already feeling them.
evengate. is 10% of the finished job. Work that comes back to you is 3%.
The 10% is for a job we put in front of you. When the work is yours already, it is 3%: a homeowner you have been paid by before, someone who came in through your own link, or a homeowner who asked for you by name. We did not find that work. You did. The rate stays at 3% for as long as they keep calling you.
Separate from the platform fee, payment processing is a flat 3% of every job, the same whether the homeowner pays by card or by bank. Both come out of the payment before it reaches your Stripe account.
There is no lead to buy, because evengate. does not make one. You are not one of eight shops paying for the same phone number. No monthly dues, and no charge for a quote you did not win. When you get paid, evengate. gets paid.
The job comes to you already laid out, so you know what it is before you commit. When the homeowner accepts your quote, the card is authorized or the bank account is linked and verified, so you know how you're getting paid before you start. Stripe handles the rest, which means no invoicing and no chasing a check.
What you get back is your time, and the room to take on more work that pays.
Know another licensed contractor who belongs here? Once you are on evengate., you can refer them and earn when they complete paid work through the platform. You get $100 when their first paid job closes, then half of our fee on their jobs for the rest of the first year and a quarter of it the second year. Not a gift card. A share of what we earn on their work. Referral Program Terms.
The people building evengate. have run plants and business units, not only written software. We are not contractors, and we do not pretend to be. So we listened first.
More than 3,700 comments from contractors and homeowners, out of more than 700 conversations on trade forums, review sites and neighborhood boards, and Reno plumbers and HVAC shops who sat down with us. The frustrations on this page came from them, in their own words. If something in here wastes your time, tell us and we will change it.
We're building the network in the Reno area first, and the first jobs are plumbing and HVAC. Every licensed trade can join now, so you're in place when your trade opens.
The goal is simple: better job info, less wasted time, fewer surprises.
