Stop overpaying for home repairs. Get honest bids with ClearBid.
ClearBid is the trusted marketplace for home services, built on 100% transparency. We connect verified homeowners with top-tier, verified contractors using a fair, blind-bidding system. Homeowners get peace of mind with secure escrow payments, while contractors get access to serious, pay-guaranteed jobs without the per-lead fees.
Post Your Project / Find Verified Jobs
Homeowners sign up and post project details for free. To access these projects, verified contractors pay a small subscription, which helps us ensure a platform of serious, high-quality jobs.
Get Fair Bids / Place Your Bid
Contractors submit bids based only on the work, ensuring fair prices. Homeowners review bids and verified contractor profiles. Bidding costs contractors nothing extra.
Secure the Job & Payment
Homeowner accepts a bid and funds the full project cost into a secure escrow. Payment is released when the homeowner and contractor confirm the job is 100% complete. The contractor pays a small 8% success fee from their payment. Homeowners use ClearBid with zero platform fees, ever.
Why ClearBid?
Vetting You Can Trust. Period.
We believe that integrity is non-negotiable, which is why we built ClearBid on a veteran-owned foundation of accountability. We don't just list contractors; we verify them.
Required Licensing and Insurance.
Every contractor is required to be fully licensed and properly insured before they are allowed to submit a single bid. This protects the homeowners from financial liability in case of an accident or issue.
Mandatory Identity Verification.
We go beyond the basics. All contractors must pass a thorough a identity verification as part of our vetting process.
The Serious Pro Filter.
We ensure only committed contractors are on the platform. By requiring a small contractor monthly subscription, we filter out casual bidders and ensure you are only engaging with serious, quality contractors invested in securing real jobs.
Fair Bids, Secure Payments.
The stress of renovation often comes from unclear costs and insecure payments. ClearBid eliminates both.
Honest, Competitive Bids.
Our platform ensures homeowners get honest, competitive bids that are based clearly and solely on the scope of work provided. We help get to an accurate final price faster.
Secure Escrow System.
Money is always protected. Once a homeowner accepts a bid, they fund the project via our secure Escrow system.
Payment Controlled and Released.
The contractor gets paid once the funds are released from Escrow, which happens when the homeowner and contractor confirm the job is 100% complete and satisfactory. This gives both parties peace of mind throughout the entire process.
Serious Homeowners, Serious Contractors.
Our model is structured to ensure that every project posted is serious and every contractors bid is committed to quality, creating a high-quality marketplace focused on commitment and delivery.
For Homeowners: Vetted Access, Zero Cost.
Posting your project, reviewing bids, and hiring a contractor is free of platform fees. Our system filters out uncommitted leads, ensuring you receive competitive bids from serious, vetted contractors.
For Contractors: Committed Leads, Success-Based Fee.
Contractors pay a small $19.99 monthly subscription to ensure they are invested and only bidding on real, serious jobs. They pay nothing upfront to bid. Their only other cost is a flat 8% success fee—deducted only after the job is accepted, 100% completed, and payment is secured from Escrow.
