Why homeowners use it

Stop calling around
with no idea what it costs.

Snapstimate gives you a starting point before you hire. It doesn't replace a contractor's final quote — but it helps you go in informed, not blind.

Explain less

Upload photos and a short note instead of trying to describe the problem perfectly over the phone.

See a price range

Get an instant cost breakdown based on the repair type, visible issue, and local market context — before talking to anyone.

Choose with confidence

Review interested contractors, compare profiles and ratings, and pick who you actually want. You're never assigned anyone.

How it works

Six steps. You're in
control the whole time.

From photo to connection — every step designed to keep the choice in your hands.

STEP 01

Take photos

Capture the issue clearly. Add a short note about what happened, how urgent it is, and where it's located.

STEP 02

Get your instant scope

Snapstimate scopes the job and gives you a cost range — labor, parts, and time — before you talk to anyone. No guessing.

STEP 03

Post the job

Your listing goes live on the job board. Local contractors can see your photos, notes, and scoped estimate.

STEP 04

Contractors raise their hand

Interested contractors mark themselves available. They see all job details — but not your contact info yet.

STEP 05

Review and choose

Browse profiles, ratings, and verified badges. Pick who looks like the best fit. No pressure, no timer.

STEP 06
🔓

Connect after both agree

You accept your contractor. They confirm. Only then is your contact info shared. No spam, no cold calls.

What you can post

Common home repair categories.

Built for practical repair jobs where photos help contractors evaluate the work quickly.

Plumbing

Leaks, fixtures, clogs, water heaters, and water damage.

Electrical

Outlets, breakers, lighting, panels, and troubleshooting.

🌡️

HVAC

Furnace, AC, air quality, filters, and maintenance.

Roofing

Storm damage, gutters, siding, and exterior repairs.

Handyman

Drywall, doors, trim, small installs, and general repairs.

Important details

The estimate is a guide,
not a final quote.

A contractor's price can change after they inspect the job, find hidden damage, check materials, or confirm code requirements.

ℹ️

What the estimate is for

Use it to walk in informed — not to hold a contractor to a number. The scoped estimate helps you spot outliers and ask better questions. The contractor's on-site assessment is always the final word on price.

Is Snapstimate free for homeowners?
Yes, completely. Posting jobs, getting instant scopes, and reviewing contractors are all free — forever. Snapstimate earns from contractor subscriptions, not from you.
Who chooses the contractor?
You do. Contractors signal interest but you decide who to work with. You're never pressured or auto-assigned anyone.
When is my contact info shared?
Only after you choose a contractor and they confirm the match. Both sides must agree. Zero unwanted calls or spam.
What if I don't like any of the available contractors?
You're never obligated to pick anyone. Wait for more contractors to show interest, or close the post entirely.
