Why not HomeStars?

We built what they should have.

HomeStars charges contractors $300/month with a 12-month contract. Qualo is $49/month with no commitment — and we actually know Gatineau-Ottawa.

Zero liability risk
Every contractor is RBQ licensed and insured before they see a single lead. You never hire someone we haven’t personally approved.
02
Genuinely bilingual
We grew up in Gatineau. We know the market in English and French. Not a translation layer — a real bilingual team that understands both communities.
03
We never touch your money
Qualo is the matchmaker. The deal happens directly between you and the contractor. No commissions on your project, ever.

FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Absolutely not. You receive the quotes, compare them, and decide freely. No obligation to hire anyone. No pressure, ever.
What areas do you serve?
We currently serve the Gatineau-Ottawa region including Aylmer, Kanata, Nepean, Gloucester, and surrounding areas. Growing soon.
