HOME MAINTENANCE

Overview

This project is built using React Native and Firebase to facilitate services availability for House Holders. Users will be of 2 types; Service Providers and House Holders, who can create and edit profiles.

Householders can post jobs, accept & delete bids, leave reviews for a service, book/message a Service Provider through an integrated chat system, view the jobs posted and the service providers available.

Service Providers can view all the available jobs, bid on them once, edit or delete their bid, view the jobs they have bid on, view and update their services.

The application includes map integration, allowing users to view available providers and jobs on a map. Users can book services directly through the map interface, enhancing the user experience by providing a visual representation of service locations.
