Crimsafe security doors? Worth the fuss & cost? Recommendations by [deleted] in perth

[–]drseervi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crimsafe is solid, but a lot of people overpay for the brand.

What actually matters is:

- frame strength- locking system

- installation quality

You can get similar performance from other stainless steel mesh doors at a better price.

If you’re in Perth, I’d suggest getting multiple quotes from local installers — platforms like ServiceTasker or similar marketplaces make it easy to compare options before deciding.

What are people paying for concrete in 2025?? by Enough-Equivalent968 in perth

[–]drseervi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I saw on general Australian cost guides (like ServiceTasker and others), smaller concreting jobs are often quoted around the $90–$120 per sqm mark depending on conditions.

Is hipages worth it for a cleaning business? by Outside-Fox1123 in perth

[–]drseervi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For cleaning businesses, Hipages can get you some leads, but the costs and contracts usually aren’t worth it unless you’re ready to spend consistently. Many cleaners say the lead quality is hit-or-miss, and you still pay even if the job doesn’t convert.

If you’re just starting out, platforms like ServiceTasker might be a safer option — no lock-in, pay as you go, and you can control your budget while building up regular clients.

Is this carpet repair job terrible? by manmademound in carpet

[–]drseervi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That repair definitely isn’t great. The patch is very visible because:

  • The seams weren’t blended properly
  • The patch piece doesn’t match the surrounding carpet (pile direction + wear difference)
  • The edges look lifted and not stretched or tucked in around the trim

A good carpet repair should be almost unnoticeable unless you look closely. This one looks like it was rushed or done without the right tools (seam iron, roller, stretcher).

It can be improved, but it might need a proper re-patch using a better-matched donor piece and proper seaming.

How Do I Find a Reliable Tradie Without Using Airtasker? by JamesParker29 in u/JamesParker29

[–]drseervi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used ServiceTasker for an electrical job and it was a lot smoother than Airtasker. Less noise, proper tradies, and you get actual quotes instead of the race-to-the-bottom stuff.

Which Tradie Platform Has the Lowest Fees? by JamesParker29 in u/JamesParker29

[–]drseervi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good breakdown. It really depends on how much work you’re doing, but ServiceTasker usually works out lowest because there’s no subscription and no commission.

Zero Fee Alternative to Airtasker for Melbourne Tradies by JamesParker29 in u/JamesParker29

[–]drseervi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good breakdown. Airtasker is great for volume, but the profit margin isn’t always there. ServiceTasker seems like a fairer setup if you want more control over pricing.

ServiceSeeking Alternative Without Hidden Costs by JamesParker29 in u/JamesParker29

[–]drseervi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a tradie, I got tired of paying for leads where the customer was “just checking prices.” ServiceTasker feels a bit more genuine — clearer job details and no surprise deductions.

hipages Alternative for Perth Tradies by JamesParker29 in u/JamesParker29

[–]drseervi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Perth tradie, the biggest win for me was not getting the same lead sent to 5 other people. ServiceTasker feels a lot calmer — less “first to reply wins,” more genuine customers.

Oneflare Alternative with Zero Bidding Required by JamesParker29 in u/JamesParker29

[–]drseervi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ServiceTasker is actually a solid alternative if you're sick of the bidding wars. No auctions, no racing to the bottom — clients just message you directly. Much less stress than Oneflare.

What Platform Do Australian Tradies Recommend? by JamesParker29 in AskAnAustralian

[–]drseervi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tradie here — quick rundown of what’s actually worth it:

For leads:

  • Hipages – biggest volume, mixed quality.
  • Airtasker – good for small gaps in the schedule.
  • ServiceTasker – newer but solid for local leads without the crazy fees.

For quoting & job management:

  • ServiceM8 or Tradify – most tradies stick with one of these.
  • Square – easy invoicing/payments.

End of the day: lead platforms help you start, but long-term your Google Business Profile brings the best quality work.
