Demios — short for “demiourgos” · Trade Craftsman for the Public

One platform.
Every trade.

We connect homeowners with verified, independent local trade professionals — clear quotes, identity- and license-checked pros, and money that moves directly between the two of you.

Plumbing first More trades coming Marketplace — not the contractor
What we're building

Connecting skilled trade pros with the people who need them.

Demios exists to make that connection easy, and trustworthy — nothing more. We run the software; we're not the plumber, the mechanic, or anyone's employer. Every pro here is independent, setting their own prices and choosing their own jobs. Our only job is making that first connection feel safe, and getting paid feel effortless — one trade at a time.

Private by default

No spam, no phone‑bombing

Other marketplaces broadcast your request and your phone lights up with cold calls. Here, both sides stay private until you accept a quote — then, and only then, do you and your pro exchange contact details.

One brand

A trade at a time

Plumbing first, then mechanical, electrical, and HVAC — each its own focused app, all under one verified, shared platform.

Two sides

Fair for both

Homeowners get transparent, comparable quotes. Pros get a steady stream of local jobs and keep control of their pricing and schedule.

Zero float

We never hold your money

Payments run on Stripe Connect and move directly between customer and pro. Demios never escrows funds and never stores SSNs.

How it works

From "I need a pro" to "it's fixed" — in five steps.

The same trusted flow powers every vertical on the platform.

01

Post the job

Describe the issue, the property, the service type, and your location. Takes a couple of minutes.

02

Compare quotes

Nearby verified pros send real prices. Your contact details stay private the whole time.

03

Accept & book

Pick the quote you like. A clear, non-refundable booking fee — shown up front — secures it.

04

Get it done

Contact details unlock for both sides. The pro does the work; you pay the balance directly.

05

Rate & review

Leave a star rating that builds the pro's reputation and helps the next homeowner choose.

A look inside the actual app: how a provider gets verified and quotes a job, and how a homeowner compares offers.

Step 0

Verified before they can quote

Identity check, license review, and payment setup all have to clear before a provider ever sees a job.

Step 3

Compare, privately

Ratings and verification badges up front — full names and contact info only after you accept.

Trust & safety

Verification isn't a badge. It's the product.

Connecting people to licensed trades and handling payments is serious. Here's how we keep it safe on both sides.

Identity verified

Every provider passes a Stripe Identity check before they can send a single quote. No anonymous pros.

License reviewed by a human

Licensed plumbers upload their license; an admin reviews it before any “License Verified” badge ever shows to a homeowner.

Right pro for the job

Capability tiers keep handymen to minor, no-permit work. All licensed work stays plumber-only — enforced on our servers, not just the screen.

Payments you can trust

Stripe Connect is the licensed processor and moves money directly between you and the pro. We never touch or hold your funds.

Private by default

Names, phone numbers, and addresses stay hidden until you accept a quote. No cold calls, no spam.

Fair, transparent fee

A small service fee (about 6%), shown before you commit. Pros set their own prices — we don't mark them up.

The apps

One platform, purpose-built per trade.

Each vertical is its own focused experience — sharing the same verification, payments, and privacy underneath.

Provider tip · payment setup

Setting up Stripe payouts, you'll be asked for a business website. Don't have one yet? Choose "Add product description instead" and describe your work in a sentence — that's all it takes.
