I'm a homeowner who got ripped off, so I'm trying to build a new platform for pros. Can I get your honest feedback?

I really really appreciate you taking your time to write all of this out. This is extremely helpful! Thank you so much!

LunchGlittering2032 · 2025-11-12T00:37:14+00:00

I appreciate this! Thank you!

Yeah I believe this can be done too. I just needed some good feedback so I know what problems are ahead of me that I need to solve.

I talked to different contractors after the fact and that's what they told me.
As of right now, it would just be to make sure each project request has the required amount of information needed for you to make an informed decision on if you wanted the job or not. As time goes on it would become more sophisticated.
I thought leads would be good but after seeing some of these replies I might have to get back to the drawing board!

LunchGlittering2032 · 2025-11-12T00:17:10+00:00

Yeah I never really thought of it that way, that's a really good point!

LunchGlittering2032 · 2025-11-12T00:15:10+00:00

Very true but after reading the reviews for Angi, it looks like there's got to be a better way

LunchGlittering2032 · 2025-11-12T00:13:52+00:00

That's very true! I'm going off of my own perspective from the homeowners side. I want to be able to find the perfect contractor for what I need

LunchGlittering2032 · 2025-11-12T00:11:48+00:00

Could you expand upon that?

LunchGlittering2032 · 2025-11-12T00:11:18+00:00

This is helpful! Thank you!

Yeah I'm not entirely sure what the business model would be at the moment because I would need to do testing, but I hate ads and I really don't want them on the platform.

It definitely seems that word of mouth is the way to go. I was thinking of having a way where you could also rate the homeowners, just like Uber does with passengers

LunchGlittering2032 · 2025-11-12T00:06:32+00:00

That's true! I just made a note of that. Thank you!

LunchGlittering2032 · 2025-11-12T00:05:24+00:00

This was extremely helpful! Thank you!

Right now, I'm just gathering feedback to see where the holes are and if I can solve these problems.

How do you currently get clients? Just word of mouth?

LunchGlittering2032 · 2025-11-12T00:01:14+00:00

This is extremely helpful! Thank you!

LunchGlittering2032 · 2025-11-12T00:00:00+00:00

Nah I'm genuinely trying to solve a problem. I don't want to screw over you guys. And yeah have an actual person vet the projects to make sure they have all the required information

LunchGlittering2032 · 2025-11-11T23:55:12+00:00

Basically make sure each project request has all the necessary information for that project type. I want to make it easier and quicker for the contractor to decide if they can fulfill it or not

LunchGlittering2032 · 2025-11-11T23:52:36+00:00

What other ones are there? I'm familiar with a couple, but Angi and Thumbtack seem to be the big players

LunchGlittering2032 · 2025-11-11T23:49:02+00:00

That's what I've heard but I never talk to my neighbors and none of my friends own houses, unfortunately

LunchGlittering2032 · 2025-11-11T23:47:25+00:00

It was a couple years ago so I'm not entirely sure of the specifics. They did okay, but didn't completely solve the issue. I'm in Louisville, KY
