This project started after I called a plumber for a leaking toilet and paid $493.50, including tax. I recall a visit of less than half an hour and a membership quoted at $99 per year. The invoice lists an annual membership, but does not separate its price from the repair. It left me wondering what other homeowners had paid for similar work.
Then I thought about how many other homeowners face the same uncertainty. A pipe starts leaking, an outlet or circuit stops working, or a tree in the yard needs pruning or removal. These problems are stressful and often cannot wait. In Canada, labour is expensive and service pricing is often difficult to see before a technician arrives. Without a trusted provider or a useful local price reference, every repair can feel like a blind decision—and homeowners may spend more than necessary simply because they have too little information.
This website is meant to provide the reference I wished I had, especially around transparent pricing. By sharing what was done, how long it took, what terms were offered, and what the final bill was, local homeowners can better understand the price range, ask informed questions, and feel less helpless when the next home problem appears.
It started in Kelowna, British Columbia, and is now open to homeowners across Canada. In this first version, provider and homeowner names are withheld. Good and difficult experiences both belong here. The aim is to give neighbours a useful price reference and a better set of questions for their next repair.
The homeowner says the company would not provide a price by phone. A technician needed to inspect the problem first, with a service-call fee potentially payable even if the repair was declined.
The homeowner reports that the visit lasted less than half an hour. The invoice shows a payment of $493.50 CAD ($470 subtotal plus $23.50 GST). It lists a membership and a toilet removal/reset with a replacement wax ring and bolts, but does not itemize the repair or membership prices. The total cannot be treated as an hourly labour rate.
The homeowner reports being quoted $99 per year for an automatically renewing membership. The invoice confirms annual auto-renewal at the then-current rate, but does not separately state the membership price. It describes a one-year repair warranty while membership is active; the homeowner recalls being told “lifetime warranty.”
Ask for the dispatch fee, repair options, membership renewal terms, cancellation method, and warranty language in writing before authorizing work.
How it works
The project publishes firsthand experiences, not accusations. Every submission follows the same review process whether it is positive, mixed, or negative.
Tell us what was done, what was quoted, how long it took, and what you paid.
Names, addresses, account numbers, signatures, and payment details are removed.
Submissions are checked for relevance, firsthand language, and supporting context.
Comparable records eventually reveal meaningful price ranges—not just star ratings.

Good, bad, or somewhere in between—specific details are more useful than a score.
Your name, email and invoice are required for review. They stay private. We email you when your post is received and when it is approved.
Before filling in your experience, sign in or create an email-verified account. Reading the website is always open.
Submission receipt
We will review your post and invoice, then email you if it is approved. Approval does not independently establish every fact.
Community guidelines
The goal is practical price transparency—not public shaming. We publish details that help homeowners make informed decisions while protecting private individuals.
Read the publication rulesDescribe what you personally experienced, paid, or received in writing.
The same publication standard applies regardless of sentiment.
Provider names, logos, technician names, and homeowner identities are withheld in version one.
Homeowners and providers can send evidence or corrections privately. Published updates preserve anonymity.
Harassment, private information, and unsupported claims are removed.
Before you share
Version one helps you understand job costs and questions to ask. It does not recommend or rank contractors. We withhold provider names and identifying document details, though unusual circumstances may still be recognizable.
Each record describes one job. Access, scope, materials, urgency, travel and membership terms can change the price. Ask for a written quote for your own situation. One record is not a market average.
Yes. Positive, mixed and difficult experiences use the same review process. Each record accepts comments under an alias, up to 800 characters. Depending on the current setting, comments may appear immediately or wait for review; the editor can edit or remove them. For a correction or follow-up, use the corrections contact and include the record ID.
No. Submit the form once with your name, email and invoice. We keep these private and email you when your post is received and approved.
Homeowners anywhere in Canada can share an experience. Records are grouped by province or territory and city, so you can see prices for your city, your whole province, or all of Canada. Early on, many areas will have few or no records—each shared bill helps the next neighbour.
The editor has a document supporting specific details, such as a total and scope of work. It does not independently verify every statement, a conversation, authenticity, or the time spent on site.
