How fast will I get bids on my job?

Bids usually start arriving soon after you post — in busy categories, homeowners often compare 2 bids in 10 minutes.

To get more bids, faster:

• Add photos or videos — pros bid more confidently when they can see the job
• Describe the outcome you want — location in the home, materials if known, and any deadline
• Pick the closest category — that’s how your job reaches the right contractors
• Post when you’re ready to hire — pros prioritize jobs that can start soon

You’re never committed by posting — compare quotes and hire only when you’re satisfied with the contractors' bid.
