Illinois rules to know

  • In Illinois, trades inside a remodel are licensed separately; plumbers, for example, through the Illinois Department of Public Health: Plumbing program. For general contracting, check your city's or county's requirements.
  • For homes built before 1978, the EPA administers the lead renovation (RRP) rules directly in Illinois: paid renovation that disturbs paint must be done by a certified firm using lead-safe practices.

How the marketplace works for operators

  1. Homeowners request jobs. They describe the work on Remodel.co by ZIP and service.
  2. We turn it into a job brief. The request is structured the way an estimator would want it, not just a name and a phone number.
  3. The brief goes to a matching operator. It's routed to an operator in the network who covers that ZIP and does that service, not blasted to a list of companies.
  4. You quote and do the work directly. The job, and payment for it, are between you and the customer.

What's in a job brief

  • ZIP code and matched town
  • Project type and timeline
  • Property type
  • Scope: refresh, full remodel, layout changes, or adding space
  • Budget range, if the homeowner chose to share one
  • Design and permit status
  • Home age (pre-1978 lead-safe rules) and whether they'll live there during work
  • Systems the project touches: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, structure, windows, roof, flooring, cabinets, HOA
  • A short description in the homeowner's words
  • Photos, when provided
  • Contact details and consent to be contacted

Pricing and fees

Operators, not homeowners, pay to receive job requests. We haven't published pricing yet. We'll go over fees with you before you receive any job, and sending the interest form costs nothing.
