DFW Job Bid — Post the job. Local pros bid.

Terms of Service

The whole agreement, in plain language — including exactly how DFW Job Bid makes money. Last updated October 28, 2026.

The service

DFW Job Bid is a platform where homeowners post work they need done, and handymen and companies (“pros”) respond with bids. Homeowners post a job — photos, a description, and their area — with either a stated price or a request for quotes. Pros may like a post or submit a bid; private contact with a homeowner through the platform opens only for the pro whose bid that homeowner accepts. DFW Job Bid is a marketplace connector only: the work contract is between the homeowner and the pro. Bearden Business Solutions, which operates DFW Job Bid, is not a party to that work, does not perform it, and does not guarantee its quality or completion.

Accounts

You must create an account to post a job or bid. Keep your information accurate and your login private.
One person or business per account. Pros are responsible for the work and conduct of anyone they send to a job.
Pros register under their business and provide one business identifier — an EIN, a Texas taxpayer ID, a trade license number, or DBA details — which ties the account to the business. Providing an identifier is not a license verification or an endorsement by us. If an account is removed for breaking these terms, including avoiding platform fees, the business may not simply re-register under a new account.

How DFW Job Bid makes money

Homeowners: posting jobs is free.
Pros: bidding requires an active pro plan, billed monthly until cancelled; cancelling stops future renewals and bidding access at the end of the paid month. Plans differ by how many bids you can place each month:
- Starter — $39.00/month: up to 10 bids per month.
- Pro — $79.00/month: up to 30 bids per month.
- Premium — $149.00/month: unlimited bids.
A bid counts when it is placed. The monthly count resets each month and unused bids do not carry over. When a month's bids are used up, bidding pauses until the next month or the plan is upgraded.
Platform fee: when a bid becomes a contract through the platform, DFW Job Bid charges the pro a service fee of 3% of the contracted amount. Example: a $1,000 contract carries a $30.00 platform fee. The fee is earned when the bid is accepted and becomes a contract. If the final amount paid for the work differs from the contracted amount, the fee is 3% of the final amount. If both parties cancel the contract before work begins, no fee is charged.
Card on file: bidding requires a payment card on file. By saving a card, a pro authorizes DFW Job Bid to charge that card for the plan price and for platform fees as described in these terms. Removing the card pauses bidding until a new card is saved.
When the fee is collected: accrued platform fees are charged to the card on file when the contract is marked complete. If a contract is still open 30 days after it is made — not completed and not cancelled — we may charge the accrued fee on the contracted amount; we email the pro a reminder about a week before that charge, and either party can tell us the job did not happen.
Closing an account does not erase fees: platform fees earned before an account closes remain due, and closing an account with unpaid fees authorizes us to charge the card on file for the balance at closing.
OPSBLEND² bundle: pros with an active OPSBLEND² subscription have the pro plan waived — they pay only the service fee — and earn the OPSBLEND² Pro badge on their profile. Their monthly bid allowance follows their OPSBLEND² package: Solo — up to 10 bids per month; Small Business — up to 30 bids per month; Premier — unlimited bids.

Taxes may apply to fees where required by law. Fee amounts may change with notice posted in these terms before the change takes effect.

How payments are handled

Subscriptions and the platform fee are billed through Stripe, the same payment processor Bearden Business Solutions uses for its other products. We never see or store your full card number.
Payment for the work itself is between the homeowner and the pro. Until a future version of the platform, DFW Job Bid does not process, hold, or guarantee payments for the job — the two sides arrange and make that payment directly between themselves.

Ratings, levels, and the year-end drawing

Homeowners carry a reviewer rating based on keeping up with rating the pro after a contracted job here is completed. Homeowners who rate their completed jobs promptly and consistently earn higher reviewer standing.
Pros earn system points from contracted jobs completed, the stars on the reviews those jobs receive, and repeat customers. Points feed a badge level from 1 to 20. Level 20 is the top; each level requires more points than the one before it, so higher levels are earned slowly.
Year-end drawing: the top 10 pros in the standings at the end of the year are entered into a drawing for a 7-day vacation — hotel and airfare paid by DFW Job Bid, with the pro drawn choosing from 3 destinations to be announced. Entry is merit-based, earned through standings only; it cannot be bought.
Monthly standings notification: on the first of each month, members receive a notification naming the pros currently leading the standings.

Scheduled maintenance

The platform shuts down for automatic maintenance every Sunday night at 12:00 AM Central so fixes and capacity checks can run. Access during that window may be unavailable.

Posting and bidding rules

Post only work you genuinely need done, in the area where the work is. Photos and descriptions must be yours and accurate.
Bids must be real offers you intend to honor. No bait pricing, no spam, no posting the same job repeatedly.
Negotiations happen in private messages through the platform — not in public comments.
Once a bid becomes a contract through the platform, taking that job off the platform to avoid the platform fee is a violation of these terms, and the fee remains due in full.
Ratings and reviews must reflect a real job done through the platform and your honest experience. Fake or paid reviews are grounds for removal.

Areas

Jobs are posted to a local area, starting with Dallas–Fort Worth and its cities. More areas will be added under the same platform; your account works in every area we serve.

Conduct and removal

We may remove posts, bids, reviews, or accounts that break these terms, break the law, or put other users at risk, with or without notice. Removal or closure of an account does not cancel fees or other amounts already owed under these terms. Users are responsible for verifying any license, insurance, or permit a job requires; DFW Job Bid does not verify licenses unless a profile is explicitly marked as verified by us.

Liability

The platform is provided “as is.” To the extent allowed by law, Bearden Business Solutions is not liable for work performed (or not performed) by users, for disputes between homeowners and pros, or for indirect damages arising from use of the platform. Texas law governs these terms.

Changes

We may update these terms; the current version will always be posted here, and continued use after an update means you accept it. Questions about these terms: reach us through the DFW Job Bid website — Bearden Business Solutions.

FAQ

How DFW Job Bid works — all in one place.

How does it work?

A homeowner posts a job — photos, a description, their area, and either their price or a request for quotes. Pros respond with bids. The homeowner compares the bids and the pros' ratings, takes a bid — that bid becomes the contract — and rates the work once it's done. Posting is free for homeowners.

What can a pro do on a post?

Like it, or bid on it. There's no public commenting and no haggling on posts — every bid stays private between the pro and the homeowner.

Who can contact me privately?

Only the pro whose bid you accept — private contact comes with the contract. Before that, a bid can carry a short private message from the pro about the job's details; it travels with that bid, and only the homeowner sees it, right alongside the bid.

How do ratings work?

A pro's rating is built only from reviews of jobs they contracted through a bid on DFW Job Bid and completed. No contract, no review — and reviews can't be bought or posted any other way.

What badges can a pro earn?

Review badges — Top Rated, Five-Star Finisher, Repeat Happy Customers, and contract review counts — are earned from those contract reviews. Every profile also carries standing badges for the pro's service level and how long they've been on the platform. Pros who run their business on OPSBLEND² also carry the OPSBLEND² Pro badge.

How do areas work?

You pick your area when you post, the way classifieds work — just cleaner. Dallas–Fort Worth is live now; Houston, Austin, and San Antonio open next, each with its own feed under the same name. Your account, profile, and rating carry into every new area the day it opens.

What happens when I save a pro?

Saved pros live under Saved pros on your account page, ready for next time. On the pro's side, the customers who saved them show up as business contacts on their dashboard.

How do I add a photo?

Tap the spot where the photo goes — your profile circle, a pro cover, a feed avatar, or a job post's photo area — and pick a picture. There are no add-photo links to hunt for.

What does it cost?

Posting jobs is free for homeowners. What pros pay — the subscription and the fee on a contracted bid — is spelled out in the Terms of Service.

How do payments work?

Pro subscriptions and the fee on a contracted bid are billed through Stripe. The money for the job itself is handled directly between the homeowner and the pro — the platform doesn't process job payments yet.

When is the site down for maintenance?

Every Sunday night at 12:00 AM Central, the site shuts down automatically for maintenance — bug fixes and capacity checks — and comes back at full capacity.
