Mike and I are finally looking for a house, and despite what others may think, we are not the Rockefellars, which means that our budget is on the low end and any house we buy will likely need some improvements. A few renovations aren’t such a bad thing because we can make any house or own and ServiceSpider.com can help us find the right contractor for the job.

I have a tiny bit of experience with contractors from working with the construction department at a previous job, so I know the time and energy that goes into finding a good one. ServiceSpider.com pre-screens contractors before they bid on your home improvement job so you know you’re getting a competent craftsman. You post project photos and information, contractors bid on the job, and you review their profiles and decide who gets the job.

With absolutely no home improvement experience, Service Spider will be a great tool for us. We can feel confident that the contractors bidding on our job has some good experience and review their profile before construction starts. That’s much better than just flipping to someone in the phone book!
