A FEW THINGS WORTH KNOWING
Your questions.
Clear answers.
From finding the right kind of help to making that first call, here’s how HireYYC works.
Getting started
What is HireYYC?
HireYYC is a directory of home service companies serving Calgary and the surrounding area. It helps you find company contact details and start a conversation about your project. HireYYC does not carry out or supervise the work.
How do the quick questions work?
Choose a service, the closest job description and your preferred timing. You will see contact options for companies listed in that service category. The questions do not check live availability or confirm that a company can do your particular job.
Does answering the questions send a request?
No. Completing the quick questions does not send an inquiry to HireYYC or a company, and it does not book a visit. Contact a company directly to explain the job and agree on the next step.
Can I book a service through HireYYC?
HireYYC concierge requests are temporarily paused. You can still call, email or visit a company's website through its directory profile. Confirm the appointment, price and scope directly with that company.
Do I need an account or payment details to browse?
You can browse companies and use the quick questions without an account. The current HireYYC website does not collect customer payments or payment-card deposits. Ask the company about estimate fees, call-out charges, deposits and payment terms before agreeing to work.
Which home services can I find?
The directory covers plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, cleaning, landscaping, roofing, home renovations, painting, locksmiths, smart home installation, window installation and pest control. A company's specific services may vary, so confirm your job directly.
Do the companies serve my neighbourhood?
The directory focuses on Calgary and surrounding communities, but each company sets its own service area. Share your neighbourhood when you contact a company and ask about any travel or call-out fees. A Calgary-area listing does not mean every location is covered.
Choosing a company
Are all listed companies vetted, licensed and insured?
A directory listing is not an endorsement, background check or proof of licensing or insurance. Before hiring, ask the company for current credentials and coverage relevant to your project, and confirm the scope and price in writing.
What do the company background notes mean?
Some profiles include a source-backed note about company history or reviews, with a source link and the date it was checked. Read the source for context and current information. These notes are not a guarantee of workmanship, availability or credentials, and not every listing has one.
How are companies ordered?
The directory starts in alphabetical order, and you can switch to reverse alphabetical order. The quick questions show companies from the selected service category in alphabetical order. These results are not a quality ranking or a list of companies with confirmed availability.
How do I get a quote?
Contact a company directly with a short description of the job and your preferred timing. Ask whether an estimate or site visit has a fee. Before work starts, get the scope, materials, price, taxes, fees, timing and any exclusions in writing.
Can HireYYC guarantee same-day service?
No. HireYYC does not show live schedules or guarantee response times. Choosing a timing option in the quick questions does not notify a company or reserve a visit. Call the company directly to check availability.

How can I report a listing error or ask about my information?
Use Your data & requests or email hello@hireyyc.com. For a listing correction, include the business name, its website and the detail that needs changing.
