We don't list just anyone. That's good for you.
People come here because they've been burned before: the contractor who never called back, took a deposit and vanished, or had no license. Contractor problems are the #2 consumer complaint in the U.S. (Consumer Federation of America). So every business meets these 8 standards before we list it:
- Licensed when your state requires it for your work. We look it up and show the number on your page.
- Insured if you work on or in people's homes. We'll ask for proof.
- A real, local business with a real phone and a real person behind it.
- Answers fast. Reply to customers within 1 business day, even if it's “we're booked.”
- Prices in writing before work starts, and no surprise charges.
- Fair deposits that follow your state's rules. No big cash-up-front demands.
- Shows up when promised, or calls ahead.
- A clean record: no suspended license and no pattern of unresolved complaints.
Why this helps you: homeowners call with more trust when they know every business here was checked. You aren't lumped in with the bad ones. The check is free, and no one can pay to skip it. Read the full standards.
The math on pay-per-lead sites
If you've used Angi, HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack or Bark, you know how it goes. Here it is on paper:
What a typical small contractor pays, per platform, per month
| Angi · 8 leads at about $60 (real range $25–$120) | $480 |
| Thumbtack · 6 leads at about $40 (often sent to several pros) | $240 |
| Bark · credit pack (credits expire in about 12 months, no refunds) | $200 |
| Houzz Pro · monthly minimum | $249 |
| Typical spend on pay-per-lead sites | $300–$1,000+ a month |
| Great Local Pros | $0, or $49 flat for Premium |
And on Thumbtack, pros in a 2025 lawsuit say the same lead often goes to several contractors. Many pros on Bark complain about prepaid credits spent on leads who never answer. Here, a call is just a call. Nobody else got your customer's number.
