The system is broken. We're fixing it.

Two problems. One platform.

You need a new roof. Or your HVAC is dying. Or your kitchen has not been updated since 1997. So you do what everyone does: you fill out an online form. Within minutes your phone rings. And rings. Five contractors. Ten. Sometimes fifteen. Companies you never chose, competing for your attention with aggressive sales tactics. You stop answering. You regret the form. You go back to asking a neighbor.

On the other side, licensed, insured, highly rated contractors are paying for those same leads, sold simultaneously to their direct competitors. Their close rate drops. Their sales team burns out calling people who are already annoyed. They start to believe lead generation does not work.

Both sides are right to be frustrated. The model is broken. Not the concept, the execution.

So we built something different

Handvetted is a matching service. Homeowners tell us what they need. We match them with one verified professional, not five, not ten, not whoever pays the most. One expert, selected for their specific project in their specific area.

Every business on Handvetted is verified before a homeowner ever sees it: active state licensing confirmed through official registries, background checks on every owner and operator, a minimum 4.5-star rating verified for authenticity, and a real person on our team reviewing every application. For homeowners that means no spam, no competing sales calls, and no guessing whether the person at the door is qualified. For businesses it means exclusive requests from pre-screened homeowners who are expecting the call.
