How Handvetted works
A verified directory for homeowners who need the right pro — and for businesses that want to be found by the right customers.
1. Apply to get matched
Choose a category – roofing, HVAC, restoration, kitchen & bath, homeowners insurance, mortgage & more. Each one takes you to a short intake form specific to that service.
2. Tell us about your project
Answer a few quick questions about what you need, where you’re located, your timeline, and your budget range. This takes about two minutes. It’s not a generic “get 3 quotes” form – we need real details to find the right match.
WHAT WE ASK
3. We select your match
Based on your project, we match you with one verified professional. Not five. Not ten. One – selected specifically for your project type, your location, and your needs. We brief them on your details before they ever contact you.
YOUR MATCH IS ALWAYS
4. One call. That's it.
Your matched professional reaches out directly. They already know what you need, where you’re located, and your timeline. One conversation with one qualified expert. No competing pitches, no cold calls, no pressure.
Always Free
Homeowners never pay anything. Businesses pay to receive project requests.
Your data stays yours
Your info goes to one matched business. We never sell it to multiple companies.
Free rematching
If your match isn't right, we'll select a different verified pro at no cost.
Financing available
Need funding? We can also match you with a verified lender for your project.
1. Apply to get listed
Submit an application with your business details. Takes about five minutes. We need to know who you are, where you operate, and what services you provide.
WHAT WE NEED
2. We verify your business
Every applicant goes through four checks. We confirm your licensing through official state registries, run a background check, verify your ratings, and then a real person on our team reviews the full application. Not everyone gets approved.
VERIFICATION CHECKLIST
3. Set your preferences
Once approved, you tell us exactly what you want – which zip codes you serve, which project types you handle, how many leads per week, and your minimum project size. We only send you what matches.
YOU CONTROL
4. Receive exclusive project requests
When a homeowner submits a project that matches your criteria, we send it to you – and only you. The homeowner is pre-screened, expects your call, and has been briefed on your business. You pay per lead. No retainers. No contracts.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE PER LEAD
YOUR JOURNEY
100% exclusive
Every project request goes to one business. Never sold to multiple companies. Ever.
Pre-screened homeowners
Every lead includes verified contact info, project details, timeline, and budget.
No retainers or contracts
Pay per lead. No monthly fees. No setup costs. Pause or stop anytime.
Bad lead? We replace it.
Wrong number, fake info, or outside your area - we replace it. No questions.
Common questions
How is this different from Angi or HomeAdvisor?
Those platforms sell your information to multiple contractors instantly — often 5 to 15 at once. Your phone rings non-stop. Handvetted matches you with one verified business. Your info is never shared with multiple companies.
Is Handvetted free for homeowners?
Yes. Always. Homeowners never pay anything. Businesses pay to receive exclusive project requests.
How much do project requests cost for businesses?
Pricing varies by category, location, and project scope. All requests are priced per lead — no retainers, no setup fees, no long-term contracts. Contact our team for specific pricing.
What if I'm not happy with my match?
Tell us. We’ll review it and rematch you with a different verified professional at no cost. For businesses, if a lead doesn’t meet quality standards, we replace it.
What areas do you cover?
Handvetted operates nationwide across the United States & Canada. We match you with verified professionals in your specific service area based on your zip code.
Can I finance my project through Handvetted?
Yes. During intake, you can opt in to explore financing. We’ll also match you with a verified lender who specializes in home improvement financing – cash-out refinance, HELOC, or home improvement loan.
