After moving between different communities, I noticed a recurring theme on social media—people constantly asking for contractor recommendations and help with warranty work. It became clear that homeowners needed an easier way to find trusted local professionals, and contractors needed a better way to access jobs without paying high fees for leads. That’s why I developed an app that not only helps homeowners post their projects and receive estimates directly from local contractors, but also helps contractors grow their businesses by cutting out the expensive lead fees. By connecting homeowners directly with contractors, we're reducing costs for both parties and ensuring local professionals find more work—making home improvement more affordable and efficient for everyone.
