Guildyn gives homeowners and trades a shared way to work together.

Find and work with vetted trades, with clear expectations and visibility into your project.

For trades

Join projects that fit your skills, with defined scopes and milestone-based payments.

For the next generation

Tools that keep everyone on the same page.

Structured contracts, shared timelines, and milestone payments, so projects move forward with clarity, not chaos.

How it works

A structured way for homeowners and trades to work together.

01

Describe your project

Answer a few guided questions about your scope, timeline, budget, and what you want to handle yourself.

02

Get matched with vetted trades

We recommend trades based on your project needs, location, and availability. Review your reno crew and confirm interest before anyone is contacted to start work.

03

Work together with clarity

Set expectations upfront with structured contracts, shared timelines, and milestone tracking. Everyone stays aligned.

04

Pay as work is completed

Add your payment method and funds are released as milestones are completed and approved. No chasing invoices or surprises.

Not a contractor. Not a marketplace.
A better way to build.

Guildyn gives homeowners and trades a shared way to work together.

Pay trades directly, with transparent pricing

Guildyn charges a simple platform fee (~9% per project). No bundled contractor pricing. No hidden layers.

Clear agreements from day one

Scope, milestones, and payments are defined upfront within a contract between you and each trade, so everyone knows what's expected before work begins.

Flexible by design

Doing some of the work yourself? Bring in only the trades you need, or build a full crew. You decide.

The right trades for your project. No more, no less.

Whether you're doing part of the work yourself or building a full crew, Guildyn connects you with trades that actually fit your project.

  • Licensed, insured, and work-history verified
  • Matched to your project size, budget, and location
  • Flexible: bring in a full crew or just the trades you need

“I can see somebody that isn't technically savvy go into it. It's just easy to use, which is something that you want. It's just practical. I like it.”

“The fee difference is significant. It's enough for me to say I'd rather use this platform. And the amount of headaches I had... I wish I'd known about this platform. If I were to do another reno, I would definitely use this.”

“It's very easy to understand. If you just put me on here and told me to find something, I could totally find it on my own. Nothing's really hidden. Everything's pretty straightforward.”
