The problem

Dead-end leads waste your time and money.

~70%

of free in-home estimates go nowhere

Homeowners use contractors for free quotes, then ghost.

90+ mins

wasted on every dead-end in-home estimate

Time you can’t bill — and can’t get back.

$$$

to pay for directory websites for leads

Often the same lead is sent to 4 or more contractors, and you still get charged.

The solution

Join Estimarket and bid directly on professional quality project scopes from homeowners in your area.

1
Cut out pay per lead services. Pay one low monthly fee for marketplace access.
2
Review estimator-quality project overviews and submit bids from anywhere, instead of driving across town for a site visit.
3
See customer budgets up front and get the hardest part — pricing — out of the way.
4
Only make in-home visits once you and a customer have already agreed on cost and rough details.

How it works

A low cost way to grow your business

Every project on Estimarket is scoped, photographed, and budgeted before it reaches your inbox — so you can bid quickly and accurately, even on projects with one or two TBD line items.

01Browse the marketplace

Browse professional quality project scopes from homeowners in your area

Our marketplace lists home projects from homeowners in your area. Search and filter by trade, area, budget, and start date.

Line items for all the labor required — Project spec confirmed by Estimarket.
Photos and dimension estimates — Real site photos, not stock images.
Materials list for homeowner to buy — See the homeowner’s range before bidding.
TBD lines flagged — Know what’s undecided before you price it.

02Submit your bid

Submit a ballpark bid for the project

Fill in the line items you know, flag the ones that need a site visit as TBD allowances, and submit. Homeowners get a transparent bid — you get a sense of the work and the customer’s budget up front.

Line-itemized — Scope-matched rows, not a single lump sum.
TBD allowances — Flag uncertain items with a range.
Budget meter — See if your bid fits before you submit.
Direct contact on acceptance — No intermediary once they choose you.

03Match and close

Match, confirm details, and close.

When a homeowner picks your bid, they’ll schedule an in-home visit with you so you can confirm any TBD items in person, and finalize the project with your own standard process and agreements.

Built-in scheduler — Share your availability for a walkthrough slot in one click.
Lock the TBDs — Confirm allowances and finishes on-site.
Close your way — Keep your own contracts and payment process for starting the work.
