You get one guess, and you find out years later.
That is the actual problem with hiring for your home. Not finding a contractor - there are thousands. Knowing which one is good, when every single one of them sounds certain and the work gets covered up the day after it is finished. Checking licence, insurance and complaint history at the source - and publishing the date we checked - is what we are building. It is not running yet, and this page says so rather than describing it in the present tense.
HomeMatchup is a trust-first local home services marketplace. We match you - for free - with a few checked, insured, and guaranteed local pros. We send your info to only a few local pros matched to your job - never onto a list. No spam, no scams, no pressure. You get a fair price and the job done right.
Why is finding a pro so hard?
Most lead sites sell your number to whoever pays. Then your phone rings off the hook. Smooth-talking storm-chasers knock on your door. The real price stays hidden until it's too late. We built HomeMatchup to fix all of that.
What does HomeMatchup stand for?
Four simple things guide every match we make.
Trust comes first
We do not sell your details to a list, and no company can buy its way into a match. We are not yet checking licences ourselves, and we will not say we are until we do.
Plain and human
No jargon. No fine print. We say things the way you'd say them - so you always know what you're getting.
You're the hero
This is your home and your money. We're just the guide. You stay in control and there's never any pressure to hire.
Backed by proof
Every cost figure carries its source and the date we pulled it. Where we rank companies, the rubric is published so you can re-score them yourself. Where we have not built something, we say so.
How do we keep you safe?
The verification standard we are working towards: licence confirmed with the issuing authority, insurance confirmed with the carrier, complaint history checked, and each result published with the date it was performed. None of it is live today. It will appear on this site check by check, dated, as each one ships - and not before.
We ask contractors to prove who they are. Here is us.
A team of 16 across editorial, expert review, operations, search, design and engineering. These four decide what this site is allowed to say - and each is accountable for a different part of it.
Sets what we refuse to do to make a match - including the revenue we turn down.
