At Zoofy, handymen are carefully screened for their expertise and reliability. You can read reviews and ratings from previous customers. Zoofy only works with professionals who have an average rating of 9.2 or higher, ensuring that you are working with a true expert.

With Zoofy, you can rely on aftercare and warranty once the sustainability measures have been carried out. After the job, you will receive an invoice via Zoofy, which you can pay safely and securely. Additionally, you have the option to purchase extra warranty for additional peace of mind. By law, the professional must provide a warranty if something is not done correctly. However, Zoofy also offers an optional paid warranty package for extra security.
