You bring the skill. We bring the customers, the systems, and the safety net. You own your business and set your rate. We help you build your reputation and handle everything around managing your business.
You own your business. ZingKin powers it.

Running a home services business requires you to wear multiple hats: sales, marketing, customer service, finance, quality control, scheduling, quoting, invoicing, bookkeeping, tax filing, insurance, phone calls, follow-ups, online presence, reviews, and reputation management. There's a gap between the work you love and the business that surrounds it. That gap is where most tradespeople get stuck. We solve that for you.
Leads don't come on their own. Competing on platforms, paying for ads, hoping word of mouth picks up. It's a second job that never ends.
Quoting, invoicing, chasing payments, managing schedules. Every hour spent on paperwork is an hour you're not getting paid for.
Expense tracking, receipt sorting, GST filings. None of this is what you're good at, but it all needs to get done.
You get sick, your kid has an emergency, your truck breaks down. There's nobody to cover your jobs. You cancel, lose the customer, and start over.
A customer calls while you're mid-job. By the time you call back, they've hired someone else. Every unanswered call is revenue walking away.
A strong online presence, real reviews, a professional website. Most tradespeople know they need it but don't have the time or know-how to build it.
We handle the business side so you can do what you're actually good at.
We market your services, run ads, manage your online presence, and route homeowner requests directly to you. No more chasing leads.
Professional software handles your scheduling, quoting, invoicing, and payments. We set it up and train you on it.
Marketing, admin, customer follow-ups, and professional software tracks your income and expenses for clean tax filing. You do the work. We run the office.
Difficult situation with a customer? ZingKin steps in. We handle disputes, mediate issues, and protect your reputation. You're never alone.
Can't make a job? Another ZingKin member covers for you with full job details. Your customer is taken care of. Your reputation stays intact.
We build and maintain a personal website for your business. Your name, your photo, your services, your reviews. You own your reputation.
Home services rates in Kelowna range from $55 to $85 per hour. Here's how ZingKin's 15% fee works at the $55 starting rate. No other fees. Ever.
No subscription. No seat charges. Nothing when you're not working.
No pay-per-lead. No fees for quotes that don't close. You only pay when you get a job.
Compare that to franchise fees (40-50% of revenue), Thumbtack ($30-80 per lead with no guarantee), or going alone and paying for everything yourself.
From day one, ZingKin gives you the people, the tools, and the systems that make your business run like you have employees handling every part of it. Sales, customer service, complaints, accounting, taxes, scheduling, follow-ups, and reputation management. All covered.
You focus on the work. We run everything around it. From day one, it feels like you hired an entire office. You didn't. You joined ZingKin.
ZingKin is not a franchise. We don't put our name above yours. Your business keeps its identity. Your customers know you by name.
ZingKin is the quality seal that tells homeowners you've been vetted, you're insured, you're licensed, and you're backed by a community that holds you accountable.
Think of it like this: you're the restaurant. ZingKin is the Michelin star.
On your website, truck, cards, and yard signs. Your brand is primary. Always.
The skill exists. What's missing is the care. Care for the customer, the home, the work, and the person doing it. Anyone can fix a railing. Not everyone shows up on time, quotes honestly, cleans up after, and checks in the next day. We build care into every process and every interaction so you don't have to think about it. It just happens. Your reputation follows.
When you send photos of the work, follow up the next day, and leave the house cleaner than you found it, homeowners notice. They don't just hire you again. They tell their neighbors. Care is the only marketing that doesn't cost money.
When you commit to doing it right every time, your skills sharpen. No shortcuts means you get better, not just faster. A year from now, your work will speak for itself in ways it can't if you're always rushing to the next job.
Customers stop being transactions and start becoming people who trust you with their home. They call you by name. They recommend you without being asked. That's a different kind of business than chasing leads on a platform.
When you know your work is documented, your quotes are honest, and someone has your back if something goes wrong, you stop carrying the weight alone. You sleep better. You show up lighter. The anxiety of running a solo operation fades.
Repeat customers and referrals are the most reliable income in home services. Care creates both. You stop depending on ad spend and start building a base of homeowners who call you first, every time, for everything their home needs.
At the end of a career, the tradespeople who are remembered aren't the cheapest or the fastest. They're the ones who cared. The ones whose customers became friends. The ones who left every home a little better. That's a legacy worth building.
Care isn't something we invented. It's something you already have. ZingKin just gives it a name, a standard, and a community that shares it.
ZingKin was built on a simple belief: if we take care of the people doing the work, they'll take better care of the people they serve. That means care doesn't stop at the customer's front door. It extends to your body, your mind, your finances, your family, and your life outside of work.
Here's where we're headed. Some of this is available today. Some we're building as the network grows. All of it is the vision.
You get sick. Your kid has a fever. Your truck breaks down. Another ZingKin member picks up your jobs with full details. Your customer is served. Your income is protected. Your reputation stays intact. You're never alone.
Difficult customer? Scope disagreement? Not sure how to handle a situation? Call us. ZingKin steps in, mediates, and helps you resolve it. You don't absorb problems alone anymore.
ZingKin members know each other by name. You share advice, cover for each other, and refer work that doesn't fit your skills. Monthly meetups. Real relationships. The isolation of running a solo business disappears.
Once a month, ZingKin arranges group childcare on a Friday evening. You and your partner go out for dinner. Your kids are looked after. The cost is shared across families so it's nearly free. Because you deserve a night off.
Every February, ZingKin brings in an accountant for a free group session. Each member gets one-on-one time to organize deductions, review receipts, and prepare for filing. No more overpaying taxes because you didn't know what you could claim.
Monthly physio sessions at a group rate. Ergonomic gear in your onboarding kit. Because your body is your livelihood, and nobody in this industry takes care of it until something breaks.
Quarterly BBQs, holiday gatherings, kids' activities. Your family becomes part of the community. Because when families know each other, covering for each other feels natural.
Your mom needs a ride to a doctor's appointment. Another member's parent needs the same thing. ZingKin coordinates one trip for both families. Small maintenance at aging parents' homes, handled by the network.
Summer helper program for teenagers. Homework space coordination between families. School supply drives. Your kids see what honest work looks like, and the community takes care of them too.
ZingKin isn't just a business network. It's a commitment to take care of the whole person behind the trade.
We start with backup and business support because that's what you need on day one. But as the network grows, so does the care. Every new member makes the system stronger. Every family that joins makes the community deeper. The goal is simple: you take care of your customers' homes, and ZingKin takes care of everything else.
We select for character, not just skill. If you join, you commit to these four things.
You're a guest. Treat every home like it belongs to someone you care about.
Return calls. Show up when you say. If something changes, say so before, not after.
Right tools. Right materials. No shortcuts. Work you'd be proud to put your name on.
Help fellow members. Cover when needed. Refer honestly. Raise the bar for everyone.

"I worked 21 years at BC Hydro managing contractors. I knew I could do it better. But starting a business on your own means you're suddenly the marketer, the accountant, and the receptionist. ZingKin took all of that off my plate. Now I show up, do the work, and someone else makes sure the customer found me, the invoice goes out, and the follow-up happens."

"I've been building homes for 17 years. I always wanted to start my own business but I stayed away because of the admin and the lack of standards in the industry. ZingKin made it possible. And last month when I had a family emergency, Ed picked up my job with all the details. The customer didn't even know. First time in years I feel like I have a team behind me."
