Platform Features

Built for both sides of the job

Everything a homeowner needs to hire smart. Everything a contractor needs to win work.

  • Secure Messaging

    All conversations stay on-platform — no sharing personal phone numbers, emails, or home addresses.

  • Total Estimates

    Contractors submit a total project estimate with optional supporting details. Contractors only see their own estimates.

  • Ratings & reviews

    Ratings and reviews may come from Google when available.

  • Local Matching

    Projects only reach contractors in the right service area — no out-of-area estimate requests.

  • No Pay-to-Win

    No premium tiers, no priority placement. Compete purely on merit.

  • Local contractors

    We are securing estimates from local contractors or contractors that mostly service your area.
