What this is for contractors
Neighborhood Contractors helps start the relationship — then steps out after acceptance. It’s designed to reduce low-quality noise and keep expectations clean.
You avoid
- Bidding wars and marketplace price-shopping
- Public ranking / review contests
- Lead-buying dynamics
- Being pressured to accept bad-fit jobs
What makes you a RARE One?
“RARE” isn’t hype — it’s how homeowners describe contractors they trust enough to refer to friends and family.
Reliable
Shows up. Communicates. Follows through — or resets expectations early.
Accountable
Owns mistakes, fixes issues the right way, and protects the homeowner experience.
Reputable & Experienced
Built on real work, repeat clients, and long-term reputation.
This platform is a fit if…
- You prefer fewer, higher-quality conversations over volume
- You respond — even if it’s a respectful decline
- You set expectations clearly (scope, timing, next steps)
- You’re okay being booked out — and you communicate it early
This platform is NOT a fit if…
- You rely on high-volume lead lists and fast-close pressure
- You frequently no-show or ghost
- You want bidding wars or ranking-based competition
Membership
One plan. Monthly only. Invite Credits represent acceptance capacity — not leads.
$49 / month
Base membership (before tax). Includes 2 Invite Credits per month.
Invite Credits are used only on acceptance
Invite Credits are deducted only when you explicitly accept a homeowner request. Talking, screening, and estimating do not spend credits.
Referral Credit isn’t contractor-paid
The homeowner $12 Referral Credit is not paid to you and is not contractor-paid.
Invite Credits: exactly when they are used
We keep this extremely clear so you can talk, screen, and estimate without pressure.
Invite Credits are used when:
- You explicitly accept a homeowner request
- You tell Neighborhood Contractors to mark it accepted
- Contact info is exchanged and we step out
Invite Credits are NOT used for:
- Intros, messages, calls, or texts
- Site visits
- Estimates or proposals
- Any discussion that doesn’t result in acceptance
Predictable intro timing
During the introduction stage, we typically relay early communication within one business day.
Booked-out is normal
Your schedule matters. Being booked weeks or months out is common — and respected here.
Optional add-on Invite Credits
Most contractors never need extras. If you want to accept more introductions in a given month, you can optionally add Invite Credits (up to +14). Add-ons are about acceptance capacity — not leads.
What to expect
- Optional (not required to stay active)
- Monthly only (no annual plans)
- Used only when you accept an introduction
- You can change add-ons month-to-month
Add-on bundle options are shown inside the invited contractor dashboard.
Caps + rollover (fairness rules)
- Invite Credits roll over up to a clear limit (prevents stockpiling)
- The system blocks purchases that would exceed your cap
- If membership is canceled, remaining Invite Credits are forfeited
Full caps, rollover limits, and add-on choices are shown inside the invited contractor dashboard.
Fairness, service areas, and matching
We avoid marketplace dynamics while keeping matching predictable.
Rotational fairness
When multiple contractors cover the same trade and city, we rotate — we don’t rank.
City list service areas
Service areas are defined using a city list. Contractors can list multiple cities served.
Privacy-first until engagement
Introductions start clean. Details are shared as the conversation progresses.
Standards and enforcement (3-strike system)
Standards are simple and consistent. Three active strikes within a rolling 12 months results in removal.
Examples of strike triggers
- Repeated ghosting / non-response
- No-shows
- Misrepresentation
- Abusive conduct
- Unsafe / illegal behavior
- Platform misuse / circumvention
- Repeated validated behavior complaints
Not strikes
- Being booked out
- Respectful declines
- Scope/price mismatch
- Normal schedule changes when communicated
- Homeowner choosing not to proceed
