Marketplace requests work when you need options
A marketplace request is ideal when you know the service and ZIP code but have not chosen a company yet. Matching professionals nearby can respond with written estimates so you can compare scope, timing, and price.
- Best for first-time jobs in a new neighborhood
- Useful when you want multiple estimates quickly
- Keeps the process structured from request to approval
Direct booking when you already trust a pro
Open a provider profile and request that company when you already know who you want—from a past job, referral, or profile review. You still share job details, but the request routes to that business.
In both paths, a written estimate and signature create a job record so the original quote stays intact even if materials or scope change later.
