After a brief vetting process — license, insurance, and a short conversation — you’re added to our active vendor network for your trade specialty. We’re selective because our homeowners deserve the best.
We Dispatch Work Directly to You
When an Alcove homeowner needs work in your trade, you’re our first call. We provide a full job briefing before you arrive — scope, property access, timing, and homeowner preferences. No surprises on site.
You Show Up and Do Great Work
That’s it. You don’t deal with scheduling calls, scope disputes, or invoice follow-up with the homeowner. Alcove manages all of that. Your Home Concierge is reachable throughout every job if anything comes up.
Invoice Alcove — Get Paid Promptly
Submit your invoice to Alcove after the job. We pay within 15 business days — no homeowner follow-up required. Consistent work builds into a reliable, recurring revenue stream over time.

FAQ
No. There is no fee to apply or to join. Alcove earns its margin through the homeowner membership, not through the vendor network. You invoice Alcove at your standard rates, and we pay within 15 business days.
Volume depends on your trade and our homeowner needs in your area. Partners typically receive recurring work rather than one-off jobs — our homeowners are on annual memberships, so their homes require ongoing seasonal maintenance, inspections, and repairs throughout the year. The relationship is designed to be consistent, not sporadic.
Primarily, no. Alcove’s Home Concierge handles all scheduling, scoping, and homeowner communication. You’ll receive a detailed job briefing before arrival, and the Home Concierge remains reachable throughout the job. This means you spend your time on the work, not on client management.
Contact the Home Concierge before proceeding with any work outside the original scope. We’ll get homeowner approval quickly — typically within the hour. This protects you from disputes and ensures you’re compensated appropriately for any additional work.
We review your application and respond within 3 business days. If there’s a fit, we’ll schedule a brief introductory call to discuss your trade, service area, and how the partnership works in practice. From there, onboarding is straightforward — we verify licensing and insurance, execute a simple partner agreement, and you’re in the network.
