Hoist only takes commission on work that we scope, price, and sell within our bid. For example, if the homeowner’s bid includes drywall repair or woodwork as part of the painting project, our commission applies to that total price. However, if you upsell or offer additional services outside of what’s listed in the Hoist bid (like flooring, siding replacement, or other trades), that is fully yours—no commission is taken on work we don’t sell.
