The contractor marketplace built different
Vetted connects homeowners with licensed, insured, background-checked contractors — with secure escrow payments so everyone's protected.
For contractors
Other platforms charge you $30–$200 every time a homeowner contacts you — whether they hire you or not. On Vetted, you pay one flat monthly fee and never get charged per lead. Ever.
Apply to Join — From $49.99/moHow it works
Two sides, one platform — built to protect both.
Describe what you need. Set your budget. Takes two minutes.
Every contractor is licensed, insured, and background-checked. Real reviews from real completed jobs only.
Your payment is held securely. The contractor doesn't get paid until the job is done and you approve it.
Happy with the work? Release payment. Leave a verified review. Done.
Submit your license, insurance, and ID. We verify everything. Not everyone gets in — that's the point.
Vetted ($49.99/mo) requires license + insurance verification. Vetted Pro ($74.99/mo) adds a full background check and references for maximum trust and visibility.
Homeowners in your trade and area come to you. High-intent, serious customers only.
Payment is already in escrow before you start. No chasing invoices. No bounced checks.
Pricing
Free for homeowners. One flat rate for contractors. 5% platform fee on completed jobs — charged to homeowners at checkout, never hidden.

The problem
Many platforms share your contact info with several contractors at once. You choose who to reach out to — they don't all choose you.
Industry-reported lead costs on major platforms range from $20–$200+ per lead. Those costs often get passed on to homeowners in higher quotes.
Most platforms allow reviews without confirming a job was completed or paid for. Vetted only allows reviews after verified, completed work.
Most platforms have no built-in payment protection. Homeowners pay upfront with little recourse if work isn't completed as agreed.
