COSTCOMPASS FOR HOME-SERVICE PROVIDERS

Pricing transparency can build trust.
And trust can win business.

CostCompass helps homeowners understand what local home projects cost while giving reputable providers an opportunity to explain scope, verify pricing and demonstrate the value behind their work.

WHY PARTICIPATE

Help homeowners understand more than just a number.

A price without context can be misleading. CostCompass is being built to show homeowners what went into a project—not simply which provider charged the least.

✓

Build Trust

Help homeowners understand your pricing, project scope and the value your company provides.

⌖

Reach Local Homeowners

Participate where homeowners are already researching real local pricing for services you provide.

$

Add Pricing Context

Explain why two similar-looking home projects can cost very different amounts based on materials, labor, complexity and scope.

PROVIDER PARTICIPATION

How home-service providers can participate

CostCompass is designed so providers can participate in the pricing conversation—not simply appear next to a price submitted by someone else.

01

Claim Your Business

Identify your company and eventually manage the information associated with your CostCompass provider profile.

02

Verify Project Pricing

Help confirm whether customer-submitted pricing accurately represents the work your company performed.

03

Provide Pricing Information

Contribute representative pricing or ranges for common services your company performs.

04

Explain Project Scope

Give homeowners context around materials, labor, project complexity and other factors that affect final price.

05

Build Credibility

Verified participation can help distinguish transparent providers from anonymous pricing information.

06

Reach Ready-to-Hire Homeowners

Future CostCompass tools can help connect participating providers with homeowners actively researching their services.

TRANSPARENCY + CONTEXT

CostCompass isn't about finding the cheapest contractor.

The lowest price isn't always the best value. Our goal is to help homeowners understand why pricing differs and give reputable providers an opportunity to demonstrate what is included in their work.

Submit your company and contact information to CostCompass.

02

Verify Your Business

CostCompass confirms that the person requesting access is authorized to represent the company.
