Your knowledge is worth more than your knees.

You've spent years on rooftops, in attics and crawl spaces. Now put every one of those years to work from home. Flip on, take live video calls from techs and homeowners who need a veteran, and get paid for every call you close.

Questions from experts

Am I an employee?

Lifeline experts join as independent contractors. You choose when you are on call.

How do calls reach me?

When your on-call switch is on, calls route to you through the Lifeline expert portal on your phone, tablet or laptop.

How do I get paid?

You set up direct payouts during onboarding, and every completed call is tracked in your earnings dashboard.

What if a call needs hands on the unit?

You follow the protocol: tell the customer exactly what is wrong and refer them to a local contractor. Lifeline experts advise only. They never quote, sell or arrange the repair.
