How this works

1. You tell us what you're seeing

Describe the problem in your own words. Photos help but aren't required. It takes a couple of minutes and costs nothing.

2. We check it and route it

We work out what kind of work it is and which contractors cover your town. Before any contractor receives anything from us, we confirm their registration is active with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, and we record the date we checked. Insurance is not part of that check. No register can tell you whether a policy is in force on the day somebody is standing in your crawl space, so ask any crew for a current certificate of insurance before they start.

3. They contact you

One. We pass your request to a single contractor who covers your area and does that type of work, so you're not fielding calls from four companies about the same problem. If they can't help, tell us and we'll pass it to another.

4. You decide

You choose who to talk to, who to get quotes from, and whether to hire anyone at all. We're not part of that conversation and we don't take a cut of the job.

What we don't do

We don't perform work. We don't supervise work. We don't inspect work. We don't hold your money, and we're not a party to any agreement you sign with a contractor. We don't guarantee any outcome, and we can't tell you what's wrong with your house — only someone who comes out and looks at it can do that.

How we're paid

A contractor pays us a flat monthly fee to receive the requests this site produces. Homeowners never pay us anything, and we take no cut of the job. That's worth knowing so you can weigh what we say accordingly — we have an interest in you making contact with a contractor, and no interest in which one you pick or whether you hire them.
