How it works

How Home Services Scout helps you find the right pro

We're not a random list of companies. Home Services Scout is built to help you describe your project clearly, match with the right type of pro, and feel confident before you say yes to any quote.

In three simple steps

1Tell us about your project

Share a few quick details

Choose the service you need, where you live, and what's going on. We'll ask the kinds of questions a good pro would ask on the phone—scope, urgency, budget comfort level—without making you write a novel.

  • • Emergency vs. planned project
  • • Basic size or scope (rooms, square footage, etc.)
  • • Timing: "ASAP", "this week", or "just researching"
2We match you to local pros

Connect with the right type of company

Behind the scenes, we route your project to pros who actually do this kind of work in your area—no national call centers pretending to be local. You'll typically hear from a small handful of companies, not dozens.

  • • Focused on your city or region
  • • Filtered by service type and job size
  • • No pay-to-play placement for random categories
3Compare quotes & choose with confidence

You stay in control the whole way

Pros will typically call, text, or email to learn a bit more and share pricing. Use our project guides to sanity-check quotes, ask better questions, and avoid surprise add-ons.

  • • No obligation to hire anyone
  • • Get multiple opinions before you commit
  • • Use our guides to understand "normal" pricing

What to expect

How many pros will contact me?

For most projects, you can expect to hear from a small group of local companies—usually 2–4, depending on your area and the type of work. If there's not a great match, we'd rather send fewer options than push the wrong fit.

What happens with my info?

We only ask for the basics a pro truly needs to follow up: your contact info, address or service area, and a short description of the job. We don't sell your data to random lists or send you unrelated marketing.
