Request a contractor (free)

Tell us what you need done and your city/ZIP. Submitting a request is free. If it’s a strong fit, we’ll make one introduction. Respectful declines are normal — they protect fit and quality.

Before you submit

  • Pick the closest trade and describe the scope clearly
  • Include city or ZIP (privacy-first until a contractor accepts)
  • If you have a deadline, share the reason (move-in, inspection, safety)
  • If you’re flexible, say so — flexibility improves fit
  • Helpful details: size/area, photos, age of home, known issues
  • Booked-out is normal; timelines vary by season and job type

Review How It Works

Note: Requests are free. If it’s a fit, we’ll make one introduction — one connection at a time.

Invite your trusted contractor (uses a $12 Referral Credit)

Use a Referral Credit only when you’re introducing a contractor you already trust to a friend or family member’s project. It keeps introductions intentional and protects the network from spam.

What the $12 is

  • A small Referral Credit that keeps invites intentional and spam-free
  • A pay-it-forward step (like a stamp) that supports a clean, private introduction
  • A signal you’re putting your name behind a contractor you genuinely trust

What the $12 is not

  • Not paid to the contractor
  • Not a membership fee
  • Not a guarantee of acceptance
  • Not lead-buying or pay-to-play

Referral Credit form (intro details)

Quick note: This form is for a real introduction. You = the referrer • Project owner = your friend/family member who needs the work • Contractor = the trusted pro you’re recommending.

Tip: Double-check this email — it's often auto-filled on phones.

Tip: Double-check this email — we’ll use it to contact the contractor.

Note: Referral Credits are for introducing your trusted contractor to the project owner. After acceptance and contact exchange, you work directly together.

Common questions

Does the contractor get the $12?

No. The $12 isn’t paid to the contractor. It supports the platform and keeps introductions intentional and spam-free.

When should I use a Referral Credit vs. a free request?

Use a Referral Credit when you’re introducing your trusted contractor to a friend or family member’s project. Use a free request when you don’t already have a specific contractor to introduce.

What if the contractor is already in Neighborhood Contractors?

If they’re already in the network, we won’t charge a Referral Credit just to introduce them. Referral Credits are only used to invite a trusted contractor into Neighborhood Contractors for the first time.

Does it guarantee the contractor will take the job?

No. Contractors can accept or decline based on fit and workload. Respectful declines are normal and protect quality.

How fast will someone respond?

During the introduction stage, we typically respond within one business day.
