Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about hiring on CostaTrades.

How are tradespeople verified?
We rely on a strong community-driven verification system. Professionals are rated and reviewed by real homeowners like you. We also verify their identity and encourage them to upload insurance and license documents for transparency.
Can I request quotes in English?
Absolutely. We highlight language proficiency on every profile. You can filter specifically for English-speaking professionals to ensure clear communication throughout your project.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire Costa del Sol region, from Sotogrande to Nerja, including major hubs like Marbella, Estepona, Mijas, Fuengirola, Benalmádena, Torremolinos, and Malaga City.
Is this service free for homeowners?
Yes, CostaTrades is 100% free for homeowners. You can search, post jobs, and request quotes without any cost. We are supported by the professionals who use our platform to find work.
Do I need a license for renovations?
Yes, most renovations in Spain require a license. Minor works ('Obra Menor') often need a simple declaration, while major structural changes ('Obra Mayor') require a full project license. Always check with your chosen professional.
How do I pay the tradesperson?
You pay the tradesperson directly. CostaTrades does not handle payments or take commissions from your project fees. We recommend agreeing on payment terms in writing before work begins.
