One project room, every bid, no spam
Homeowners post projects with photos, AI concepts, and a clear scope. Contractors review masked opportunities and submit bids. Everything happens in one collaborative space.
For homeowners
Get real bids without broadcasting your address.
Create a project
Describe what you need, pick a space or trade, and set a general location. Your project stays private until you decide to share it.
Add photos and design ideas
Upload pictures of the space or use the HomeHelp Design Studio to generate AI renderings and before/after concepts.
Invite contractors or open it to bids
Send the project to specific pros you trust, or flip the *Open to bids* switch to let verified paid contractors submit proposals.
Compare bids side by side
Review scope, estimated price, and timeline in one place. Accept the best fit, decline the rest, and keep the full project history.
For contractors
Find qualified projects, not random leads.
Browse open projects
Paid pros see a masked marketplace of real projects with photos, scope, budget range, and general area — no scraping allowed.
Submit a structured bid

Masked marketplace
Contractors see project scope, photos, and general area — not your name, phone, email, or exact address.

Your project is private until you invite a specific pro or explicitly open it to bids.
Paid-pro gate for bidding
Only verified paid contractors can browse the open marketplace or submit bids.
One project room
Bids, chat, photos, and documents live in the same project thread so nothing gets lost.
Frequently asked questions
Can any contractor see my full project details?
No. Until you invite a contractor or accept a bid, paid pros only see a masked preview: title, scope, photos, budget range, and general area. Your exact address, phone, and email stay private.
Is there a rating or grade system?
HomeHelp does not use a public star average that penalizes contractors. Reviews are moderated by the contractor before publishing, so your reputation stays in your control.
