Does it cost me anything to submit my project? (back to top)
No. There is no cost to submit a project.
How does BidClerk get paid if this is a free service? (back to top)
You are not charged for this service because service professionals pay fees to participate in BidClerk's network.
What can consumers do to make sure they don't pay too much for their home services projects? (back to top)
Pay close attention to bids and contracts. It is your responsibility as a consumer to review the bids you receive. All prices should be clearly stated on contracts. If something is unclear to you, ask questions.
Should I screen my service professional? (back to top)
Absolutely. You should always verify that they are licensed, insured, have no record of significant civil legal judgments entered against them, and always ask for references.
Your local planning & development department is a good resource to verify any local requirements that need to be met such as contractor licensing and permitting requirements.
What if I change my mind during a project and want to cancel a contract? (back to top)
The decision to stop a project will have to be worked out between you and the service professional. Expect to pay for work and materials performed up to that point.
