Finding a good electrician, plumber, or mechanic in the Chouf usually means calling around — a neighbor's number, a name from a Facebook group, a card that fell out of a kitchen drawer years ago. The Chouf App directory turns that search into a straight line: browse the trade you need, check that it covers your town, and reach the right person directly, phone in hand.
The Chouf isn't one town — it's dozens of villages spread across a mountain district. A number that works for someone in Baaqline may belong to a tradesperson who never comes near Barja, or has moved towns entirely. Word-of-mouth numbers get forwarded on WhatsApp until nobody remembers whether the person still does that trade, still answers that number, or works in your area at all.
And a name alone rarely tells you what you actually need to know: does this person do exactly the job in front of you, or something close enough that they'll say yes anyway?
An electrician is not a general contractor, and a general contractor is not a plumber. Calling the wrong trade wastes everyone's time — theirs and yours. Match the job to the specific trade first: wiring and fixtures need an electrician (كهربائي), water lines and leaks need a plumber (صحّي, often called سنكري), a stalled car needs an auto mechanic (ميكانيكي سيارات), custom furniture or repairs need a carpenter (نجّار), and a build or renovation needs a contractor.
Chouf towns spread out along the mountain, and a short trip on a map can be a long drive on the road. Check that a provider realistically covers your town before you call — it saves a trip that never had a chance of happening.
A number saved years ago in someone's phone doesn't tell you if the tradesperson is still working, still reachable, or still doing that job. A maintained directory beats an old contact list for exactly this reason.
The directory is a contact handoff, not a marketplace. There's no booking, no in-app chat, no payment, and no completion guarantee — the app gets you to the right person, and from there the call, the price, and the schedule are between you and them.
Each trade has its own page you can browse before opening the app, so you can confirm coverage and read what the trade actually includes:
The directory lists providers across Chouf towns, including Ketermaya, Chhim, Barja, and Baaqline. If your own town isn't showing a provider for the trade you need yet, a neighboring town's listing may still be within reach — check coverage before ruling it out.
No. Chouf App is a directory, not a booking platform. It helps you find the right tradesperson and reach them directly — the call, the price, the scope of work, and the schedule are all agreed between you and the provider, outside the app.
Open the trade listing inside the Chouf App and tap through to the provider. Their contact details appear there, and you call or message them directly on WhatsApp. Numbers are not published on the website or in search results.
That’s deliberate. Chouf App keeps every provider’s number inside the app, revealed only after you tap through, so providers control who can reach them and how. It’s the same rule for every listing, not a broken page.
Electricians, plumbers, auto mechanics, carpenters, general contractors, construction contractors, ironworkers, and more — each has its own trade page you can browse before you open the app to contact anyone.
No. There is no job guarantee, no escrow, and no in-app chat or payment. The directory is a contact handoff — it gets you to the right person faster, but the work itself is agreed and carried out directly between you and the tradesperson.
It covers towns across the Chouf, including Ketermaya, Chhim, Barja, and Baaqline, and keeps growing. If a trade isn’t listed for your exact town yet, check a neighboring town’s coverage or check back — the directory is actively maintained.
Three things: that the trade actually matches your job (an electrician isn’t a general contractor), that the provider realistically covers your town, and that the listing looks current. The directory is built to make all three checkable before you dial.
