Built for trust between neighbours.
Tavfon is building the most trusted on-demand services marketplace in the United States. We believe every homeowner deserves access to verified, professional service providers — and every skilled tradesperson deserves a platform to grow their business.
A marketplace that respects everyone in the transaction.
Home services have always been a coin flip. You call around, you hope the person who shows up is qualified, you hope the price you were quoted is the price you end up paying, and you hope the work doesn’t fall apart a month later. For most homeowners, one bad experience is enough to delay the next job for years.
On the other side of the same problem are skilled tradespeople who can’t get in front of the customers who need them. Their best leads are word-of-mouth, the worst ones come from lead-gen platforms that take a 30% cut and treat them like commodities.
Tavfon is our answer. A verified marketplace where customers post jobs, multiple qualified pros respond with itemized quotes, and payments stay in escrow until the work is done right. We take a small platform fee — no upsells, no preferred placements, no dark patterns. The product is trust, and we sell it once.
Four values we measure ourselves against.
Every product decision, hiring choice and policy review at Tavfon is graded against these.
Trust before transactions
We optimize for safety and predictability first, growth second. Trust compounds. Shortcuts don’t.
Radical transparency
Itemized quotes, public license numbers, visible take rate. If we can’t explain it, we won’t ship it.
Respect for the trades
Skilled providers are the product. We pay them faster, charge them less, and treat them like partners.
Local before national
We launched in Maryland on purpose. Each state we open earns our attention before we move to the next.
The five-step process behind every active provider.
No provider can accept their first job until every step is cleared — and none of it is outsourced to chance.
Identity & document upload
Government photo ID, proof of address and a professional license (where the trade requires one) all submitted in-app.
Live selfie + match
A live selfie is matched against the submitted ID by our verification partner — preventing the most common provider fraud pattern.
Insurance verification
General liability and trade-specific coverage is verified directly with the carrier, not just collected as a PDF.
Background & license check
We run criminal background checks and validate trade licenses with the issuing state board before activation.
Ongoing reputation review
Verification continues after onboarding. Quality scores, dispute rates and customer reviews are reviewed monthly.
