How we make money
If a service is free, you should ask who's paying for it and what they're getting. Fair question. Here's the whole answer.
The model in one paragraph
Contractors pay us for confirmed appointments. When we qualify your project, match you with pros you approve, and get a real date and time on a contractor's calendar, that contractor pays us a fee for the appointment. That's the entire business. Homeowners never pay anything, and we don't take a commission on your project.
The fee is for the appointment itself — it doesn't depend on whether you hire them. That detail matters more than it sounds: it means nobody in this arrangement has a financial reason to pressure you. The contractor earns your business or doesn't, on the merits of what they put together for you.
Why this beats the lead-selling model
Most lead-selling sites make money differently: they sell your contact information as a lead — often to four or five companies at once, sometimes reselling it again after that. Once your data is sold, they're paid. What happens to your phone for the next three weeks isn't their problem.
Our incentives run the other way. We only get paid when an appointment is actually confirmed — which means we need your project qualified accurately, matched to the right specialists, and scheduled at a time that works for you. If the appointment isn't real, nobody pays us. Quality isn't a slogan in this model; it's the invoice.
And because you choose whether to meet one pro or compare a few, your information only ever reaches the pros you're actually scheduled to meet. Not a lead list. Not "participating partners." The people whose names are on your calendar, and no one else.
Who wins when
You win
Free appointments with vetted local pros, booked for you, with no strangers calling and no obligation to hire anyone.
The contractor wins
A confirmed appointment with a qualified homeowner who asked for the meeting — instead of chasing cold leads.
We win
We're paid per confirmed appointment — so we only make money when the first two things actually happen.
Fair follow-up questions
Correct. No fees, no memberships, no surprise charges later. Whatever the pros put together for you is yours to use however you want — including taking it to a contractor you found on your own.
Contractors treat appointment fees the way they treat any marketing cost — it's how they find customers, the same way they'd pay for ads or lead services. The difference is our appointments are qualified and confirmed, so they waste less money chasing dead ends. Wasted marketing spend is what inflates prices; we reduce it.
No. We charge the contractor for the confirmed appointment, not a commission on your project. Whether you hire them, hire someone else, or do nothing at all, our fee is the same — which means we have no incentive to pressure you into anything.
No. Your information goes only to the specialists you're scheduled with — the ones we name for you before anyone reaches out. We don't sell data to third parties, marketers, or call lists. That's in our Privacy Policy, not just on this page.
Because their alternative is buying shared leads — paying for a homeowner's phone number along with four other companies, then spending hours playing phone tag with people who never asked to be called. A confirmed appointment with a qualified homeowner who chose the meeting is worth far more to them than a raw phone number. Good contractors would rather be on a job site than cold-calling.
