Frequently Asked Questions

How do I leave a verified review for a contractor?

Only homeowners who have completed a job with the contractor can post a verified review. After your project wraps up, you'll receive an email with a unique review link tied to your job details. You'll rate workmanship, punctuality, cleanliness, and communication, then add a short written summary. Reviews linked to a completed job stay on the contractor's profile permanently.

Can I compare quotes from multiple contractors in one thread?

Yes, that's exactly what the pricing transparency board is for. Start a new thread in your regional subcategory, describe the scope of work, and share the quotes you've received. Other members will chime in with what similar jobs cost in their area, and experienced tradespeople often flag unusually low or high bids.

What should I do if a contractor disputes my review?

Contractors can respond to reviews with a factual rebuttal, but they can't edit or remove your post. If a dispute gets heated, our moderators step in to keep the thread civil. We ask both sides to share documentation like contracts, photos, and messages so the community can weigh in fairly.

Are there regional subcategories for smaller towns?

We cover most districts under our state-level categories, and new subcategories are added when a town gets enough activity. If your area isn't listed yet, post in the nearest regional board and tag it with your town name. Once a few members join in, we'll spin up a dedicated subcategory.

How do the expert Q&A threads work?

Experienced tradespeople volunteer as moderators for specific trades like plumbing, electrical work, and carpentry. You can ask them anything about materials, timelines, or whether a repair is worth doing. They answer based on real field experience, not manufacturer talking points, and they'll tell you when a job needs a licensed professional.

What counts as a seasonal maintenance tip?

Anything that helps you prevent damage before it happens. Before monsoon season, members share gutter cleaning checklists, roof inspection routines, and drainage fixes. In winter, it's about pipe insulation and heater servicing. These threads are practical, local, and often save homeowners from emergency repair bills.
