U Services — protected home services in New Brunswick

Protected Payments

How a protected job works

In New Brunswick, anyone can call themselves a renovation contractor — only electricians and plumbers are licensed. That's why every dollar on U Services moves through a protected flow:

Fund a milestone

Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The money is committed and visible to both sides — but nobody can touch it yet.

Work happens, on the record

A mutually-signed shift clock, required progress photos, and chat that counts as evidence if there's ever a dispute.

Both sides approve

You confirm the milestone is done right; your contractor confirms too. Disagreements go to review within 24 hours.

Money releases

The contractor is paid out in 1–2 business days. The job gets done, or the money comes back.
