Frequently asked questions
Is there a home maintenance app for Orange County?
Yes, OakTend. It runs in your phone or computer browser, so there is nothing to download, and it reminds you before each maintenance task is due.
Is it really free?
Yes. Your first home is free, no card needed. OakTend Plus is optional.
What do you do with my data?
Your home details are stored in our database and used to run OakTend: reminders, alerts, and answers about your house. We never sell your personal information, we don't use ad trackers, and the optional Google Analytics on our public pages has its ad features turned off. When you post a job, a pro sees only what's needed to quote it. The full details are in the privacy policy.
Who are the pros?
They are local pros who set up their own OakTend profiles. If a pro enters a California license number, we check it against the public records of the state's contractor license board (the CSLB) and show the result. Not every pro will have that badge. Some work, like house cleaning, does not need a contractor license. Small repair jobs under $1,000 that need no permit can also be done by an unlicensed person working alone. Construction or repair work above that needs a licensed contractor. You always see exactly what's been verified and what hasn't.
Will I get flooded with calls once I post a job?
No. Your contact info stays private until you pick a pro yourself. Every pro who wants the job applies inside OakTend, you compare them there, and nothing reaches your phone until you choose someone.
What does Plus cost?
OakTend itself stays free for your first home. OakTend Plus is optional: $1.99/wk, $4.99/mo, or $39.99/yr (about $3.33/mo), whichever you pick. Your first 3 days are free on any of them, once per eligible account. After the free days we charge your card automatically at the price of the plan you picked unless you cancel, and you can cancel anytime. See what Plus costs.
Where does my home's info come from?
When we have public property records for your address (from our data provider), we pre-fill your home's year built, size, and other facts. You can correct anything that's off once you're in.
What happens if I cancel or delete my account?
Canceling OakTend Plus just stops the subscription: you keep your account and home data, and lose the Plus tools. Deleting your account is separate and permanent: it removes your data from OakTend. One thing to know: if you already shared details with a pro through a job or message, they may keep their own copy in their own business records.
