Get an estimate for your job. Find the right contractor. Nobody sells your information.

Getting a contractor shouldn't mean having to enter witness protection.

You've met the form. Zip code, fine. Project type, sure. When do you plan to start? Getting personal, but okay. Are you the homeowner? Are you the DECISION MAKER? What's your budget? Address? Phone number? Best time to call? And somewhere around step 12 of 4, you realize they're about to ask for your firstborn. Maybe he's not your favorite, and that's okay. Still, it's a lot to trade for a water heater quote.

Then the real price. Your phone number, sold to four strangers. Same file, same afternoon. Four contractors who each paid for the privilege of calling you at dinner, each with about a one-in-four shot, each hoping you're the one who actually answers. They didn't do anything wrong. They bought what the big site was selling. The big site was selling you.

Our form has two questions. What's the job, and where is it (zip). That gets you the estimate. If you like your number and want it done, one email, and we go find you one contractor. Not four. Not ten. One. We pull up everyone near you who does this work and run each of them against the state license board, the complaint record, their reviews, their years in the trade, and how they've treated our other homeowners. Then we match the job to the contractor who actually does this exact kind of work, not just the one with the loudest ad. The person who calls you already cleared all of that and already said yes to your job. You don't have to lie awake wondering if they'll wreck the place or vanish with the deposit. We did the wondering. Your firstborn stays home. Whether that's good news or bad news is none of our business.

Then we find you one. Here's exactly how.

So you got your estimate and decided that pleading forgiveness is better than asking permission. You give us an email. We pull up the local contractors who do this kind of work and check each one: the state license board's record, their public reviews, how long they've been at it, and how they've treated our other homeowners. Then we rank them. On fit. Nobody can pay for a better spot; every contractor pays us the same rate, so there's nothing to buy.

Then a person at FairlyQuoted picks up the phone and calls them, best fit for your job first. The contractor who is the best fit takes your job, signs our agreement and sets aside a few times to come look. That usually takes a day or two. We could do it faster by calling all of them at once. That's the old way, and you've lived through the old way. We'd rather send you one right contractor than ten fast ones.

"Okay, but what's the catch?"

Good. Keep asking questions like that. Here's the math of the old way: four contractors each pay fifty to a hundred bucks for your file, win or lose. Guess whose quote all that ends up buried in. Here's ours. Homeowners pay nothing. The contractor pays us a small referral fee, and only after you've paid them. If you never hire anyone, nobody pays anything. Every contractor pays the same rate, so the fee never decides who we call first. That's it. That's the catch.
