How Ixora works
Three steps from "someone help" to handled.
Free · takes ~60 seconds
01
Tell us about the project
A few photos and a sentence or two. We translate it into a brief that pros can bid on in minutes.
Avg 4 bids in 2 hours
02
Compare bids from real locals
Side-by-side pricing, reviews, and chat. Background-checked pros who actually work in your zip code — not a national call center.
Money-back guarantee
03
Hire, pay, and relax
Funds are held in escrow until the work passes your walkthrough. Two-way reviews keep everyone honest.
Why Ixora
Trust, built one handshake at a time.
Letting someone into your home is different from booking a hotel. We've built every piece of Ixora around that one fact.
$0
released without your approval
Money held, not gone
Your payment sits in escrow until you sign off on the walkthrough. If something's wrong, the pro fixes it before they get paid.
Apples ↔ Apples
structured bid format
Bids you can actually compare
Every bid follows the same scope and line-item format. No bait-and-switch, no mystery 'materials' lines that grow on invoice day.
