Contractors & estimates

Prepare a clear scope, compare estimates, and manage your service profile.

Clarify the work

  • Share the job context you are authorized to share, relevant media, access constraints, and requested timing.
  • Ask for a written scope that separates labor, materials, exclusions, and any inspection needed before a final quote.

Compare before committing

  • Compare scope, timing, exclusions, and total cost rather than price alone. Independently confirm qualifications relevant to your work.
  • A directory profile or AI suggestion is not a workmanship guarantee. Review the agreement and obtain required approvals before work begins.

For contractors

  • Keep your services and service area current in the authenticated app. Review job details before responding to an estimate request.
  • A public profile is optional. Check the publication status after choosing to publish, and use the job conversation for scope clarifications.
