How HomeForeman works
HomeForeman is a home-maintenance and contractor-bidding platform. It keeps your home on schedule, gives you honest DIY-vs-pro answers and fair local prices, and brings you competing contractor bids from one scoped project, without the high-pressure sales visits.
For homeowners
Tell it about your home
Add your home once, or import your inspection report and snap a photo of an appliance's data plate. The app builds a picture of your systems and their ages.
Maintenance runs on autopilot
You get a maintenance schedule tuned to your house and climate, with plain-English reasons and step-by-step guides for the DIY tasks.
Know DIY from a pro job
Describe a problem or take a photo and get an honest answer: a guided fix, or a fair-price briefing before you call anyone. Gas, panels, roofs, and structural work always route to a pro.
Scope a real project
For bigger work, the app interviews you like a good estimator, tells you exactly what to measure, and drafts a clear scope of work. Add inspiration photos and it renders the result in your actual space.
Collect and compare bids
Publish the project and contractors bid on that specific scope, no sales visits. Compare bids side by side with fair-price analysis, license checks, and reviews from real completed jobs. Your address stays private until you accept one.
For contractors
The supply side: pre-scoped residential leads, no windshield time.
Create a free account
Set up your company profile: the trades and specific project types you want, your service area, and your license and insurance.
Browse pre-scoped leads
Your board shows open projects that match what you bid, each with photos, homeowner measurements, and a written scope of work. See the bid count before you invest time.
Bid from your desk
Price the job from the scope package and submit a bid with what's included and a timeline. Flag a walkthrough only when the job genuinely needs one.
Win the work
Message the homeowner with questions, and when they accept your bid you get the address to coordinate. No per-lead fees on jobs you don't win.
Common questions
How does HomeForeman work in one sentence?
It knows your house, schedules the maintenance, tells you what's DIY versus a pro job, shows fair local prices, and lets you collect contractor bids from one scoped project instead of fielding sales calls.
Do I have to talk to contractors on the phone?
No. Bidding runs on a written scope, photos, and in-app messages. Your contact details stay private until you accept a bid, and you talk to whoever you choose, whenever you choose.
How can a contractor bid without visiting my house?
The same way commercial contractors bid buildings they've never stood in: from a real bid package. Photos, your measurements, and a written scope of work cover most jobs. Where hidden conditions matter, bids are flagged as preliminary pending a walkthrough.
What does it cost?
The homeowner app is $8 a month, and the quote checker and cost guides are free for everyone. Contractor accounts are free during beta.
