Get real bids — and get it in writing.
Describe your project once and California, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Wisconsin contractors start bidding within minutes. Every contractor here has had their government ID verified — it is a minimum requirement to onboard, with no exceptions — and when you pick someone, we can prepare your contract with California, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Wisconsin’s required notices already in it.
Free to post. No obligation to hire.
When you’re ready
Your agreement, in writing — with California, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Wisconsin’s required notices in it.
Pick a contractor first. Then, if you both choose it, we prepare the written contract between the two of you — including your three-day right to cancel and the lien notice your state requires. We prepare the document; the agreement is yours and theirs.

Built so both sides can trust each other.
Your agreement, in writing
When you and your contractor both choose it, we prepare the written contract for the two of you — with the notices California, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Wisconsin laws require already in it, including your three-day right to cancel. We prepare the document; the agreement is between you and the contractor.
How the contract works →Every contractor's ID is verified
Verifying a government ID is a minimum requirement to onboard — nobody is listed or can bid without it. Licenses and insurance are collected and shown on the profile, but confirm those yourself before you hire.
Anonymous until you're chosen
Customers see contractors as Contractor_N while comparing bids — no business names, no logos, no demographic cues. Identity unlocks only after the customer awards the job.
Your address stays private
Customers post jobs by postal code only. Street addresses are never shown on the public marketplace and only shared once a contract is signed.
