The Story

Built from a
door-to-door hustle.

At 14, I wanted to build a gaming computer. My parents had a simple answer: if you want it, go earn it yourself. So I went door to door through my neighborhood, knocking on strangers' doors and asking if there was anything I could do to make a few dollars.

Six months later, I had enough to build it. But something stuck with me. Going door to door worked — but it was inefficient, awkward, and honestly, I was doing work for neighbors who felt sorry for me rather than for people who genuinely needed help.

I knew there had to be a better way. A way to connect people who truly needed tasks done with people who genuinely wanted to work — with real pay, real accountability, and none of the awkwardness.

Our Mission

Why Chores exists.

We're building the infrastructure for local work — making it easy to find, book, pay for, and complete everyday tasks in any neighborhood.

Real Community
Chores isn't a faceless gig platform. It's your actual neighborhood — people helping each other with real tasks that genuinely need doing.
Fair Pay
Workers set their own rates, posters set their budgets, and the market decides. We charge a 15% service fee — less than any comparable platform.
Built-In Trust
Escrow payments, verified profiles, private addresses, and a rating system that holds everyone accountable — trust is baked into every feature.
What We Stand For

Our values.

Honesty first
Accurate listings, fair reviews, real pay. No inflated expectations, no misleading descriptions. What you see is what you get.
Work is dignity
Every job on this platform — from lawn care to moving — deserves to be treated as legitimate, valued work done by real people.
Safety by design
Privacy-protecting addresses, escrow payments, verified IDs, and dispute resolution aren't features — they're the foundation.
Community over clicks
We're not optimizing for engagement or time on app. We're optimizing for jobs done well, workers paid fairly, and neighbors who trust each other.

Join the community.

Whether you need help or want to earn — Chores is free to join and takes less than two minutes to get started.
