Hire a contractor.
Without paying their ads.

HomeStars charges contractors $300+/month to show up in your search. That cost lands in your quote. We don't do that.

How it works

Post to hired

No calls to chase, no waiting 3 days for a quote that never comes.

Step 1
Post your job
Describe what you need — trade, scope, and location. Takes under 2 minutes. No account required.
Step 2
Get matched
Vetted local contractors see your job and send quotes. You compare on your own time — no pressure calls.
Step 3
Hire who you trust
Pick the contractor that fits your budget and timeline. Pay them directly — we never touch your money.
Bonus
Earn referral rewards
Share your link with a neighbour. When they post a job and get hired, you both earn. No catch.

Calgary homeowners
who've used it

★★★★★

"Posted my stucco repair on a Monday. Had three quotes by Wednesday. Picked the one that explained what was actually wrong — not just the cheapest."

MT
Mark T.
Calgary NW · Stucco repair
★★★★★

"I'd been burned by a HomeStars contractor before. This felt different — the quote was itemized, the contractor showed up on time, and the price didn't change."

★★★★★

"Chimney masonry — done right, done on schedule, and the 2-year warranty was in writing before they started. Referred two neighbours already."

Common questions

FAQ

Yes, completely free. We never charge homeowners anything — not to post, not to receive quotes, not to hire. Contractors pay a small fee per lead, which is how we keep the lights on without charging you.
Every contractor in our network carries Alberta trade licensing (where applicable), WCB coverage, and a minimum $2M general liability policy. We verify credentials before accepting anyone onto the platform.
Most homeowners receive their first quote within 24–48 hours. Urgent jobs (water damage, electrical hazards) can be escalated — call 403-470-9749 directly for same-day response.
No — you pay the contractor directly via e-Transfer or cheque. We never handle your money and there's no transaction fee or markup added to your invoice.
After your job is posted, you'll get a personal referral link. When a neighbour or friend posts a job through your link and gets matched, you both receive a reward. Details are sent with your confirmation.
