What These Jobs Run Locally

Estimated ranges while our bid archive fills up. As completed jobs come in, you’ll see real, dated price ranges from licensed contractors.

These are our estimates, not bids — no contractor has quoted these numbers. The only way to find out what your job actually costs is to request bids.

Getting three prices, the two ways

The usual way

  • Fill in three forms, or make three calls.
  • Book three appointments in three different windows.
  • Take time off, three times.
  • A commissioned closer at your kitchen table.
  • A price that expires tonight, if you sign tonight.
  • Your number sold on to whoever else bought the lead.
  • Three quotes for three different scopes — impossible to compare.

LVLocal

  • Describe the job once, in about five minutes.
  • Licensed contractors bid on it online.
  • Compare priced bids side by side, at your own pace.
  • Nobody at your table. Nobody on the phone.
  • Each bid states how long it stands and what it assumes.
  • Your details stay masked until you choose.
  • Every bid answers the same written scope.

How it works

  1. 1

    Describe the job once

    Guided questions written by the trade — the things a contractor would otherwise have to ring you up to ask. Add photos of the unit, the data plate, the access. About five minutes.

  2. 2

    Licensed contractors bid

    Up to five companies answer with a priced bid: the number, what it covers, what it assumes, the warranty, when they could start and how long the price stands.

  3. 3

    Compare like for like

    Every bid answers the same written scope, so the differences between them are real differences and not three companies quoting three different jobs.

  4. 4

    You choose — then they get your details

    Accepting a bid is the moment your name, phone, email and address go to that one company. Every other bidder keeps seeing a masked version, permanently. Until you accept, nobody has anything to call you about.

Why a bid written online tends to come in lower

Nothing about a written bid is cheaper to perform than the same work sold in your living room. What changes is the cost of winning it.

The traditional home-services sale is built around a visit. Someone drives out, spends about 30 minutes to an hour at your table — and that person is usually paid on commission. Their pay, their drive time and the visits that ended in no sale are all real costs, and they are recovered from the jobs that do close. You are not only paying for your own appointment. You are paying a share of every appointment that went nowhere.

A bid submitted against a written description costs a contractor a few minutes at a desk. There is no drive, no commission on the close, and nothing to recover from the jobs they did not win. A company can afford to price closer to the work itself.

Then there is what happens when everyone is answering the same document. In your kitchen, a contractor is bidding against a rival's number they cannot see, in a room where they can read your reaction and adjust. Against a written scope, they know they are being compared line by line against four companies answering the same questions — and the room offers them nothing. The scope does the negotiating that a homeowner would otherwise have to do themselves.

Verified, and on the record

License checked

Every bidder is a licensed contractor

Licenses are checked against the appropriate state licensing board, with the contractor's classification and status shown on their company profile. Unlicensed contractors cannot bid where a license is required.

How we verify →
Stated assumptions

Every bid says what it assumes

A price on its own is not comparable. Each bid carries the equipment, the warranty, the earliest start, and the date the offer lapses — so you can see what a cheaper number left out.

Accuracy scored

Bids are scored against the final invoice

After a job finishes, the person who paid tells us whether the invoice matched the bid. That record is public on the contractor's profile, which is what makes an accurate bid worth more to them than a low one.

Change-order terms

You see the change-order terms before you accept

Each bid is submitted under stated terms: either that pricing may be adjusted for conditions found on site, or a not-to-exceed commitment of ±10% pending inspection. You know which one you are agreeing to.

The work goes to local, independent companies

On most platforms your job is a lead, and a lead goes to whoever bought it. The biggest advertiser in the market gets first look, and the price you are eventually quoted has to carry what they paid to reach you.

Nothing here is for sale in that way. Contractors cannot buy a request, cannot buy an earlier look at one, and cannot pay to be ranked above a company that bid better. Every licensed company in the trade sees the same job at the same moment, and the one that wins it is the one that wrote the best bid.

That mostly means small, independent, owner-run companies — the ones who are good at the work and were never going to outspend a national brand on advertising. They are the businesses this was built for.

What things cost around here

Ranges for Las Vegas and the surrounding valley — not national averages from somewhere with different labour rates, different permits and a different summer. These are our estimates today; as jobs close, each one is replaced by what contractors actually bid.

A range is not a quote. What your job costs depends on the equipment, the access and the condition of what is already there — which is what the bids are for.

For contractors

Bid on jobs that are already scoped. You get the equipment, the photos, the access and the answers to the questions you would otherwise spend a phone call asking — before you decide whether to price it.

Free to bid. You pay one flat fee only when a homeowner picks you and we release their details — nothing on the bids that don't win.

  • No leads to buy, no subscription to bid, and no paying for position.
  • The fee is the same whoever you are — it does not buy rank, reach or early access.
  • No driving across town to quote jobs you do not win.
  • Five bidders per job, maximum — not a race to be the first one to respond.
  • Nobody is sold your job alongside four rivals: a homeowner's details are released to one contractor, the one they chose.
  • If a released contact turns out to be unreachable — bad number, or no reply after documented attempts — tell us within 24 hours and we credit the fee.
  • Your accuracy record is public, so bidding honestly is what wins work here.

Questions people ask first

Is it free?

Yes. Describing your job, receiving bids, comparing them and choosing a contractor are all free, and there is no fee when you pick someone. We are not paid by you and we do not take a cut of the work.

Will anyone call me?

Not until you choose them. Contractors bid on a written description of your job and see a masked name, phone, email and street address. The moment you accept one bid, that single company — and only that company — receives your real contact details. Everyone else keeps seeing the masked version permanently. There is no way for a contractor to buy their way past that.

How do I know the bid is real?

Every bidding company is a licensed contractor, with its license checked against the appropriate state licensing board. Every bid is submitted in writing, with the assumptions behind it clearly stated—including the equipment, scope of work, how long the price is valid, and whether it is fixed or subject to adjustment after a site visit. A bid here is a document a company puts its name to, not just a number quoted over the phone.

What if the price changes?

Each bid states its own terms up front: either that pricing may be adjusted for conditions found on site, or a not-to-exceed commitment of plus or minus ten percent pending inspection. You can see which one you are accepting before you accept it. After a job finishes, requesters tell us whether the final invoice matched the bid, and those answers build a public accuracy record for each contractor — which is what makes an honest bid worth more to them than a low one.

How do you make money?

Contractors bid for free. We charge one flat fee, and only when a homeowner picks that contractor and we release the homeowner’s contact details — we earn nothing on the bids that do not win. Homeowners never pay us anything. Because we are only paid when someone actually chooses a contractor, we make money when the match is good, not when a lead is sold: nobody can buy a position in results, buy an early look at a request, or buy their way past the rule that your details stay masked until you choose. And if a contractor pays for a contact that turns out to be unreachable, they can claim that fee back within 24 hours.
