The process

From your zip code to compared quotes

Three steps, no cost, no obligation. You stay in control at every stage.

1

Share your zip code and project

Tell us what you need done — a new roof, replacement windows, a furnace, gutters, or siding — along with your zip code, timeline, and a few details about your home. The form takes about two minutes, and there's nothing to download or pay for.

  • Pick your service and describe the work in plain language
  • Enter the zip code where the work will happen
  • Add your contact details so the matched pros can reach you
2

We match you with up to three pre-screened local pros

We look at your project type and location, then match you with up to three contractors from our network who serve your area. Before any pro reaches you, we check for active state licensing, valid liability insurance, and a verifiable review history. Only contractors who clear those checks get your details.

  • We match on service area, project type, and availability
  • Each matched pro is checked for licensing, insurance, and reviews
  • We share your details only with the matched pros — not a wider list
3

Compare quotes and decide on your own terms

The matched pros reach out with quotes. You compare price, scope, and timing side by side, ask questions, and hire whoever fits — or no one at all. There's no obligation to accept any quote, and we never charge homeowners.

  • Most homeowners hear from at least one pro within a few hours
  • Compare written estimates instead of guessing at a fair price
  • Decline all quotes any time — there's no obligation and no fee
What it costs you

Free for homeowners. Always.

Homative is free for homeowners — there's no fee to submit a project, get matched, or compare quotes. Contractors in our network pay us when they receive a qualified match, which is how the service stays free for you. You're never billed, and you're never obligated to hire.

Common questions

Questions about the process

How long does the form take?
About two minutes. We ask for your service, zip code, and contact details — that's enough to start matching you with the right local pros.
When will contractors contact me?
Most homeowners hear from at least one matched pro within a few hours, and from all three within a day or two. Urgent jobs — an active roof leak, no heat in winter — are prioritized.
Do I have to hire anyone?
No. The point is to compare. You can accept one quote, none of them, or ask for different pros. There's no obligation and no fee for homeowners at any step.
How is my information used?
We share your details only with the up-to-three pros matched to your project and zip code, so they can prepare a quote and reach out. We don't sell your information to an open list of buyers.
