CrewMonk 1.0

After months of internal beta, CrewMonk is open to the public. Verified trade workers, escrow-backed bookings, and a dispute flow that lands with our team — not in the customer's lap.

What's in the box

• Trust ladder, end-to-end. Tiers 0 through 5, platform-funded. Workers don't pay to verify.
• Escrow on every shift. Funds clear into escrow at booking, release on completion, dispute window stays open for 48 hours after.
• 28 trades supported at launch. Painters, electricians, plumbers, HVAC, carpenters, roofers, drywallers — full list on the workers page.
• Pacific Northwest live. Seattle, Portland, Spokane, Tacoma, Eugene, Boise. More markets each week.

What's next

Denver, Salt Lake, and Phoenix are next on the rollout map. We'll keep posting updates here as features ship.
