How It Works for Contractors
1

Apply Free

Complete our quick qualification application. We review every submission personally and verify licensing and insurance before approving.

2

Receive Leads

When a homeowner submits a project matching your trade and service area, we notify you by email with full project details.

3

Submit an Estimate Range

Submit your estimated price range through our secure form. No site visit required at this stage — just your best range based on the project description.

4

Site Visit & Formal Estimate

If the homeowner selects you for a site visit, we connect you directly. After your evaluation, submit your formal written estimate through Bid-Concierge within 48 hours.

5

Homeowner Accepts

The homeowner reviews and accepts your formal estimate through Bid-Concierge. Their deposit is collected securely via Stripe and disbursed to you within 5 business days — minus our referral fee. No invoice chasing.

6

Complete & Notify

Complete the project and notify Bid-Concierge within 48 hours of substantial completion. For jobs over $10,000, the second 2.5% installment is invoiced at completion.

Your deposit arrives within 5 business days — automatically. Bid-Concierge collects the homeowner's deposit via Stripe, deducts the referral fee, and sends your portion via ACH bank transfer. No awkward money conversations with homeowners.

Built for Contractors
Who Do Good Work.
🎯

Pre-Screened Homeowners Only

Every lead comes from a homeowner who has already paid for the service — they're serious, not just price shopping.

💰

No Site Visits Until Selected

Submit an estimated price range first. You only do a site visit after the homeowner chooses you — no more wasted trips on unqualified leads.

🏦

Deposit Collected For You

Bid-Concierge collects the homeowner's deposit via Stripe and deposits your portion directly via ACH within 5 business days. No chasing payments.

🤝

Fair Referral Fee Structure

Under $10K — 5% deducted from deposit, nothing more. Over $10K — 2.5% at deposit, 2.5% at completion. We work with your cash flow.

📍

Hyper-Local — Greater Houston

We only serve your backyard across 7 counties. No competing against out-of-town contractors or national platforms.

🚫

No Monthly Fees. Ever.

Unlike Angi, Thumbtack, or HomeAdvisor — you never pay for leads that don't convert. Zero subscription, zero upfront cost.
