You can use the Explore or Pro List pages to find Pros your friends and neighbours have referred. Alternatively, we can match you with up to 3 Pros that have been referred by other Homeowners on Quartermaster.

​
You might discover Pros referred by your friends or neighbours who aren't currently bookable on Quartermaster. You can still book these Pros independently using the contact information provided in their profile. We're continuing to work to get all of the referred Pros in the GTA onto Quartermaster, but in the meantime, we believe it's best if we share all Pros who your friends and neighbours refer to help you choose the Pro who's right for you.
Does Quartermaster charge a fee to book a Pro?
You won’t be charged a fee by Quartermaster to book a pro.
How does Quartermaster ensure the Pros on the marketplace are trustworthy and qualified?
All Pros you book on Quartermaster go through our thorough vetting process before you see them on the platform. Our vetting process includes:
-
Verification of $2M+ liability insurance
-
Verification of relevant business licenses
-
Verification of required certifications
-
Verification of WSIB credentials, if applicable
-
Criminal background check
-
Business health check
All reviews and referrals you see are from verified homeowners on Quartermaster. You can have confidence you're seeing real reviews from real people.
There are also Pros referred by your friends or neighbours who aren't currently bookable on Quartermaster. Homeowners can use the Pro List feature to refer their favourite Pros and the past projects they have completed.
While these Pros have not gone through the verification process and therefore cannot be booked on Quartermaster, their contact information is available if you would like to consider them for your Project.

How do I communicate with my Pro?
Once you book a Pro, you'll gain access to a group chat featuring you, the Pro, and our support team.
We strongly advise keeping all communication within Quartermaster's chat to ensure you receive the appropriate support.
What's the difference between a quote and estimate?
Quote: A quote is a price offered by a Pro for a specific job, and is not likely to change compared to the final invoice cost. Only if the scope of work changes, can the final amount differ from the quote.
Estimate: An estimate is a rough calculation of what a service or project might cost. It's not a guaranteed price and may vary depending on factors like materials, labour, and/or unforeseen circumstances.
It's important to note that if the scope or complexity of a project changes, the final invoice may increase as a result. We encourage both Homeowners and Pros to communicate any additional requests or details in the Quartermaster chat.
How does Quartermaster's Good Neighbour Guarantee work?
We stand behind our Pros and vet them prior to presenting them as options on our marketplace, but we know that sometimes the unexpected happens. In all cases, we encourage Pros and Homeowners to find a resolution that works for everyone. The Good Neighbour Guarantee compensates Homeowners up to a maximum of $2,500.
This includes refunding payments made by the Homeowner, as well as providing additional compensation for undue personal hardship that happens as a result of the claim.
As each situation is unique, our plan is flexible to ensure we find the best outcome for you. Full details of the Good Neighbour Guarantee can be found here.
What if I need to reschedule?
To reschedule a Project’s booking date just follow the instructions below:
-
Select the project you would like to reschedule in the Projects Tab
-
Select Booking
-
At the bottom of the page select Request Change
-
In the description field provide the dates you would prefer and select Submit
Your Pro will be notified of your request and will reach out to schedule a new date/time.
