Karipe Guarantee

Built for Trust. Backed by Protection.

💡 Why the Karipe Guarantee Matters

Karipe was built to give both homeowners and contractors the confidence to move forward with every project—without second-guessing. Whether you're remodeling your kitchen or growing your construction business, we make sure you're protected, paid, and supported.

For Homeowners:

• ✔ Peace of mind from start to finish
• ✔ Payment protection and optional insurance
• ✔ Help resolving any issues, fast

For Contractors:

• ✔ Guaranteed payments through Stripe-powered escrow
• ✔ No subscriptions, no upfront fees
• ✔ Performance-based model that rewards quality work

🛡 For Homeowners – Your Peace of Mind Comes First

• ✅ Satisfaction Guarantee: When you hire a Karipe Certified Pro and manage payments through our platform, you’re automatically protected. If you're not satisfied with the work, Karipe steps in to help resolve the issue and ensure a fair outcome.
• 🔒 Secure Escrow Payments: We process all transactions through Stripe-powered escrow. You fund the project upfront, but payments are held safely and only released when milestones are complete and approved.
• 🧾 Karipe Shield (Optional Warranty Add-On): Need even more peace of mind? For select projects, you can purchase Karipe Shield, which offers protection against:
  • Incomplete or substandard work
  • Contractor abandonment or failure to begin
  • Misaligned project outcomes
  Cost: 5% of the total project budget. Availability: Currently rolled out for select projects, soon expanding to more.
• 🪪 Guaranteed Pros with Surety Bonds: Top-tier Guaranteed Pros are bonded and vetted, offering homeowners added financial protection in the rare event of a contractor issue. Karipe is listed as a co-obligee on all bonds to support and assist in the claims process if necessary.

🧰 For Contractors – Confidence to Do Your Best Work

• 💼 Pay-Only-When-Paid: You only pay a small fee after you’ve been hired and paid.
• ✅ No subscriptions: No lead fees for jobs you may never get.
• ✅ No risk: Just real, verified projects and guaranteed payouts.
• 💰 Guaranteed Payments: Once a homeowner accepts your quote, funds are collected and held in secure escrow. You get paid as soon as milestones are approved, giving you a clear, consistent cash flow.
• 📈 Performance Support System: Karipe tracks ratings and project feedback not to punish you—but to help you grow, showcase your reliability, and ensure homeowners continue to hire with confidence. We support fair resolution for all concerns and keep you in the loop every step of the way.
