Every Repairo price is set by us, not by the contractor. No bidding. No phone-tag. No surprise fees at the door. You see the real total before you book, including any urgency fee, materials, and the $12 booking fee — all in one number.
The price you see is the price you pay. No "trip charges" tacked on when the contractor arrives. No hourly meters running in your kitchen.
We price the work, not the contractor. The same faucet replacement costs the same whether a twenty-year master plumber or a first-year licensed pro handles it.
During declared emergencies in Broward, Miami-Dade, or Palm Beach, we waive urgency fees. Hurricane Freeze is our commitment in a crisis — and it applies whether the storm hits in May or October.
Contractors don't bid for your job or pay to be shown to you. We price the work and the right licensed pro takes it. Your money goes to the work, not to an ad auction.
Most home repairs aren't actually urgent. A leaky faucet, a running toilet, a dishwasher that won't drain — these can wait three to five days, and you save money if they do. A sewage backup at 10 p.m. is a different story, and we'll move faster if you need us to. Three tiers, your choice.
| Tier | Response time | When to choose it | Urgency fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Routine | Within 3–5 days | Leaky faucet, running toilet, most appliance repairs, cosmetic work | None |
| Urgent | Within 24 hours | AC struggling on a hot day, hot water out, clogged drain, oven broken before guests arrive | Modest premium |
| Emergency | Within 2 hours | Active leak, sewage backup, AC dead in summer, sparking outlet, gas smell | Highest premium |
When you pick a faster tier, you're paying for a contractor to leave another job, drive to you, and work outside normal hours — same as if you called a traditional plumber at 10 p.m. The urgency fee scales with the size of the job: bigger jobs, bigger fee; smaller jobs, smaller fee. The $12 booking fee is the same in every tier.
Example: a typical Repairo job is around $280. An Emergency booking on that same job comes out to about $504 — roughly what a traditional Fort Lauderdale plumber charges when you call them after hours for a 2-hour response.
Some repairs aren't really optional — you can't wait out a gas leak, a sewage backup, or a sparking outlet. Our contractors know to prioritize those calls regardless of which tier you picked. We'd rather dispatch fast and sort out the billing than leave you with an active hazard because you clicked the wrong radio button.
When the Florida Governor declares a state of emergency covering Broward, Miami-Dade, or Palm Beach County, Repairo waives every urgency fee. No exceptions. No fine print about "depending on conditions." If you need a contractor during a declared emergency, you pay exactly what you would have paid for the same work the month before the storm.
This is a commitment, not a marketing promise. We live here too. When a hurricane hits South Florida, we're all in it together — boarding the same windows, clearing the same debris, checking on the same neighbors. Charging urgency premiums in the middle of that isn't something we're willing to do.
The freeze goes on when the declaration goes in and stays on through the recovery window. You'll see a banner at the top of the app when it's active.
