Staten Island, NYC
The borough with the most homes and the fewest options. Bobby is bringing the same flat-fee service to Staten Island that the other four boroughs will get.
Staten Island runs on single-family homes, which means decks, basements, roofs, and full remodels. Bobby will bring flat-fee, licensed pros from St. George to Tottenville.
Here is how a half-day handyman job works on Bobby, for the customer and for the pro. Drag the price to see it at any job size. Same flat fee, no percentage cut, ever.
If you book it (customer)
The pro keeps 100% of their price. Bobby's fee is a flat $1, never a percentage. Standard card processing is billed at cost, and your full total is shown before you confirm.
If you provide it (pro)
A typical 25% app would take $45 of this job. On Bobby, all $180 stays yours.
What you keep as a pro, side by side
You keep all $180. No percentage, ever. The flat $1 fee is the customer's, added on top.
They take $45 out of this one job. You keep just three quarters of your own work.
Example only, not a quote. Pros set their own price; the flat $1 fee is what stays fixed.
Snap a photo of the busted faucet or the bare wall, tell Bobby what you need, and a quote comes back.
Compare licensed, reviewed pros near you, scroll through their past work, and pick the one you trust in your home.
You okay the price before any work starts. Pay by card in the app, the pro keeps 100%, and Bobby takes a flat $1.

Ardi Shita Founder & CEO, Bobby
Ardi founded Bobby to fix the gig economy in his own city. With a background in investment banking, M&A and company building, he leads the New York team building one trusted app for everyday services — on a flat $1 fee, with not a cent skimmed off the people doing the work.
Bobby is preparing for launch and is finalizing all required business registrations, insurance, and provider vetting. Every provider will be identity-verified and background-checked before their first job.
Our platform is being built with compliance at its core. Services requiring regulatory authorization will not be offered or made available until all applicable licenses, permits, and registrations have been issued.
In the meantime, we invite you to join our waitlist to be among the first to experience Bobby when we officially launch.
