Get real bids — and get it in writing.

Describe your project once and Minnesota contractors start bidding within minutes. Everyone bidding here submitted a government ID and their credentials for review first — and when you pick someone, we can prepare your contract with Minnesota’s required notices already in it.

Post a job — free I’m a contractor

Free to post. No obligation to hire.

When you’re ready

Your agreement, in writing — with Minnesota’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, the pre-lien notice, and the statutory warranty terms. We prepare the document; the agreement is yours and theirs.

    Award the bid you like

    Contractors are anonymized while you compare. Once you award, the contractor's full identity unlocks and you can move into messaging and contract setup.

    Build your public page

    Add a bio, profile photo, cover image, gallery of past work, licenses, insurance, certifications. The more complete your page, the more likely customers are to award you their job.

    gavel

    Browse jobs and submit bids

    Filter by trade and area. Ask the customer clarifying questions before you bid. Submit your total amount, timeline, and proposal — your identity stays anonymized until you're awarded.

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 Minnesota law requires 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 →

Identity checks on applicants

Contractors who apply to join submit a government ID and credentials, reviewed before their profile is approved to bid. Unclaimed directory listings are marked as such and can't bid.

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.
