Why HomeCrafto is the anti-marketplace

Traditional home service platforms monetize by capturing your phone number and selling it to multiple contractors simultaneously. HomeCrafto gives you direct, unmonetized access to official public license records.

Before the first call

  • Describe the job and ask whether it is within their scope and service area.
  • Check the credential with its issuing authority and ask what applies where the work will happen.
  • Ask about insurance, availability, who will do the work, and a written scope.
  • Ask about callout fees, labor or fixed rates, materials, cancellation and any estimate charge.
