Frequently asked questions
How much does countertop templating & measuring cost in Canada?
Most jobs fall between $1,200 and $6,500, with the typical job around $3,850. The final price depends on size, access and how urgently you need it. Posting your job is the fastest way to get a real number rather than an estimate.
How quickly can someone start?
Many providers can start within 48 hours. If your job is urgent, say so in the description — providers filter for jobs they can do straight away.
How long does countertop templating & measuring take?
A standard job takes around 1 to 2 hours. Larger or more complex work takes proportionally longer, and a good provider will tell you the expected duration in their offer.
Do I need to be home?
For most in-home work, yes for at least the start of the job so you can show the provider what needs doing. Some jobs can be done with agreed access arrangements — put those in writing in the task thread.
Do I need to supply anything?
Usually just access and a clear description. If materials are needed, agree in the thread who is buying them and whether the cost is included in the offer.
How do I know the provider is any good?
Every provider on Hire Pross has a public review history built only from completed and paid tasks. Read what recent customers said about work similar to yours, and check for verification badges such as ID, insurance and licence.
When do I pay?
You pay when you accept an offer, and the money is held. It is released to the provider once you confirm the work is finished, so you are never paying up-front for work that has not happened.
What if I am not happy with the work?
Do not release the payment. Raise it in the task thread first — most issues are a misunderstanding and get fixed the same day. If you cannot resolve it together, contact support with the task reference and we will review the thread.
