How Remodel.co works
One job brief, one matching operator, and honest answers when there isn't one yet.
For homeowners and property managers
- Describe the job. Enter your ZIP and the project type, then answer a few questions: scope, budget range (optional), design and permit status, when the home was built, whether you'll live there during the work, and what the project touches. Add photos if you can.
- We build a job brief. Your answers are organized into one structured brief, the kind of information an estimator would ask for on the phone.
- We match it to one operator. If a remodeling contractor in our network covers your ZIP and does that service, the brief goes to them. We don't blast it to a list of companies.
- They contact you to quote. The operator confirms details, may want to see the job, and gives you a quote. You decide whether to hire them. Any agreement is between you and the operator.
If no operator covers your area yet
The network is new, so this will happen. We still keep your request, try to connect you with an operator who can quote it, and tell you if we can't. You can ask to be notified when an operator joins in your area.
Who pays
Requesting quotes is free for homeowners and property managers. Operators in the network pay to receive job requests. That's how Remodel.co is funded, and it's why we have every reason to send them good, complete briefs.
Licenses and insurance
Contractor licensing for remodels varies a lot by state and city. Some states license general or residential contractors (North Carolina requires a licensed general contractor for projects of $40,000 or more), and the trades inside a remodel, like plumbing and electrical, are usually licensed separately. We don't guarantee any operator's license. Once operators join, we'll check the licenses their state requires and show the date we checked.
What we don't do
- We don't do remodeling work ourselves and don't have local crews or offices.
- We don't publish ratings, reviews, or badges we can't verify.
- We don't promise response times or prices on an operator's behalf.
- We don't generate instant price quotes. Prices come from the operator after they've seen the brief.
