How Emergency Trades California works

We are a connection service for homeowners who need emergency or non-emergency trades. We do not pretend to be a licensed plumber or electrician in every city — we help you reach local professionals quickly.

Step 1
Call or request help
Use the 24/7 phone line or short form. Tell us your city, trade needed, and what went wrong.
Step 2
We confirm the details
Our team or AI intake captures your contact info, location, and urgency so local pros get what they need.
Step 3
A local pro connects with you
We work to connect you with a local trade professional who can take the next step on service — whether it's urgent or just needs doing right.

Frequently asked questions

Can you help if I am locked out right now?

Yes. Call our 24/7 line with your city and situation. We work to connect you with a local locksmith who can assist.

Do you send your own locksmiths?

No. We're a matching service — the locksmith who arrives is a local independent professional, not a single company storefront in every city.

Can a locksmith help with non-emergency work too?

Yes. Rekeying after moving in, adding a smart lock, or duplicating keys are all requests we match, not just lockouts.

My key broke off inside the lock — what should I do?

Don't try to force it further or spray anything into the lock yourself, as that can make removal harder. Call us and we'll work to connect you with a local locksmith who can extract it safely.
