Find answers to common questions about Trade Connect
For Homeowners
Yes! Trade Connect is 100% free for homeowners. You can post
unlimited projects, get quotes from contractors, and use the
platform at no cost. We make money from contractor subscriptions,
not from homeowners.
Most homeowners receive their first contractor response within 24
hours. On average, you'll get 3-7 quotes within 48 hours of
posting your project.
No! You're under no obligation to hire anyone. Review the
contractors who respond, compare their quotes and profiles, and
only proceed if you find someone you trust and like.
All contractors on Trade Connect are registered businesses. Elite
contractors undergo additional verification and receive a verified
badge. You can view their profiles, past work, reviews, and
contact information before deciding.
You can post any home renovation or repair project: kitchen
remodels, bathroom renovations, painting, roofing, plumbing,
electrical work, landscaping, additions, and more. If it's a home
improvement project, we can help you find a contractor.
For Contractors
Traditional lead sites charge $50-100 per lead, often selling the
same lead to multiple contractors. With Trade Connect, you pay a
simple monthly subscription and get unlimited access to ALL jobs
in your area. You don't pay per lead—you pay once and access
everything.
After you submit your application and complete payment, we review
your information and activate your account within 24 hours. You'll
receive an email with your login credentials and instructions on
how to set up your profile and start accessing leads.
Yes! There are no long-term contracts or cancellation fees. You
can cancel your subscription at any time from your account
settings, and you'll retain access until the end of your billing
period.
On average, 3-5 contractors respond to each project. The homeowner
reviews all responses and chooses who they want to work with.
Being quick to respond and having a strong profile increases your
chances of being selected.
Choose Pro if you specialize in one service type (e.g., just
painting or just plumbing). Choose Elite if you offer multiple
services or want premium features like featured placement,
priority in search results, and unlimited portfolio photos to
stand out from the competition.
Absolutely! Most contractors charge hundreds or thousands for
their services. A single bathroom renovation, kitchen project, or
even a painting job typically generates enough profit to cover
your monthly subscription multiple times over. Everything after
that first job is pure profit.
