How SideJob Works

Contractors: Licensed skilled trades professionals—plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, excavation contractors, general contractors, carpenters, roofers, and other trade specialists can create profiles and bid on both B2B and homeowner jobs.

Homeowners: General public can post projects, and SideJob verifies submissions to ensure quality opportunities for our contractor community.

Both contractors handle licensing verification through normal business practices, just like any other professional relationship. SideJob connects two licensed professionals—you're responsible for verifying credentials as you would with any contractor you work with.

Like finding a contractor through email, phone, or word-of-mouth, the actual business relationship and work arrangements are between you and the contractor. Each party maintains their own insurance and handles liability through standard professional practices. SideJob is simply a connection platform.

SideJob is completely free. No subscription fees, no transaction cuts, no premium tiers. It's a free service operated by Supported Systems to help jobsite workers connect with each other. Simple as that.

No catch. SideJob is built on dignity.ink principles—your professional data belongs to you, not us. We don't sell your information, we don't surveil your activity for profit, and we don't extract value from jobsite workers. It's a tool for human connection, period. Because people working on jobsites deserve platforms that respect them, not exploit them.

We're starting with select metro areas and expanding based on contractor demand. Most jobs are local/regional since trade work requires physical presence on site. You can set your service radius (e.g., 30-50 miles) in your profile.

Those platforms focus solely on connecting consumers with contractors (B2C). SideJob serves both markets: contractors can find B2B work from fellow contractors and accept jobs from verified homeowners. When a plumber needs excavation equipment, they post on SideJob. When a homeowner needs a plumber, SideJob verifies their submission and matches them with qualified professionals. It's a hybrid platform designed around the contractor's workflow.

Absolutely! Many contractors offer equipment with an operator, equipment rental alone, or just their expertise. You define what services you provide—whether it's equipment, skills, labor, or a combination.

Since the business relationship is directly between the two contractors (like any other professional engagement), disputes are handled through normal business channels—direct communication, contracts, and if necessary, legal counsel. We encourage clear communication and written agreements upfront.
