Trusted local pros in Orion, Illinois
Orion's answer to Angi and Thumbtack — without the lead fees or spam calls.
Here's a secret: when you submit a project on Angi or Thumbtack, your phone number gets sold to up to a dozen contractors who all call you within five minutes. Then the texts start. We don't do that. On Great Local Pros, you see the Orion pro's number. You call them. End of story. Your inbox stays quiet.
Angi lost 30% of its revenue last year. Their lead volume is down 81% year over year. That isn't a fluke — it's neighbors and contractors quietly walking away from a model that was broken from day one. Orion doesn't need a Silicon Valley app. It needs a directory that actually works.
