No more chasing payments. Funds are secured in escrow before you start, and released as soon as your work is verified.
Stop worrying about getting paid. Kealee secures funds upfront and releases them the moment your work is verified.
Project funds are deposited into a secure escrow account before work begins. You can see the funds are there, giving you confidence to start the job.
Get paid as you complete each phase of work, not just at the end of the project. Steady cash flow keeps your business running smoothly.
Once work is verified and the homeowner approves, your payment is processed immediately. Funds hit your account within 24-48 hours.
The money is already in escrow. No awkward conversations, no late payments, no collections. Approve, release, done.
If there is a disagreement, funds are frozen (not lost) and our mediation team helps work it out. A flat $150 fee, no expensive lawyers.
Every completed project on Kealee adds to your verified profile. Homeowners can see your track record, leading to more project opportunities.
Track all your active projects, pending payments, completed milestones, and earnings in one clean dashboard. No spreadsheets needed.
1099s and payment records are generated automatically at year end. Kealee handles the paperwork so you can focus on the work.
Three simple steps from job start to payment in your account.
A homeowner creates a project on Kealee and invites you, or you connect through our marketplace. Review the project scope, milestones, and budget. Accept the contract through the platform.
Do great work as agreed. When you finish a milestone, submit a completion request through the app with progress photos and documentation. The project manager or homeowner reviews it.
Once your work is verified and the homeowner approves the release, your payment is processed immediately. Funds arrive in your bank account within 24-48 hours via direct deposit.
