How it works

Three steps. One verified match. Zero spam.

Most lead sites sell your request to five or more companies the moment you submit it. Handvetted does the opposite: one request, one hand-vetted business, one call. Here is exactly what happens after you tell us what you need.

Get matched nowSee the vetting standard
  1. About 2 minutes

    Tell us what you need

    Pick a category and answer a few quick questions: the type of project, your timeline, your ZIP code and a budget range if you have one. That is enough for us to understand the job and who is right for it.

  2. Usually the same business day

    We match you with one professional

    We select a single verified business that covers your ZIP code and is qualified for your project. We send it your details so it arrives briefed. Your information goes to that one business and nobody else, and it is never resold.

  3. One call

    One conversation, no competing pitches

    Your matched professional contacts you directly to talk through the project and arrange a visit. If it turns out not to be a fit, tell us and we re-match you with another verified business at no cost.

Behind every match

Four checks before a business can be matched.

A business that fails any one of these is not in the network. There are no exceptions and no paid shortcuts.

Active state license confirmed through the official registry wherever the trade requires one.

Background checked

Screening on every owner and operator before a single introduction is made.

4.5+ stars

Verified ratings across review platforms. Volume and recency both count.

Human approved

A real person reviews every application. The final call is always human.

Questions

Straight answers.

How many businesses will contact me?
One. We never send your request to more than one business, and we never resell it. If your match cannot take the job, we select another verified business and introduce you again.
What does the match know about me before calling?
Only what you told us: the service you need, your ZIP code, your project details and your contact information. We pass it along so the first conversation is about your project rather than a sales pitch.
What if I don't hear from my match?
Most matched businesses call within one business day. If you have not heard anything by then, contact us and we will follow up or re-match you.
Is there any cost to me?
No. Handvetted is free for homeowners. Businesses pay for the introductions they receive, and that fee does not affect the price you are quoted.
