For contractors
Secure more leads in your area
See how QuoteAhead connects verified contractors with property owners, how vetting works, and how to place winning bids. Bidding is free and unlimited: you pay a lead fee only when you win.
Verification unlocks visibility
Before you can bid, QuoteAhead vets every contractor. Until your business is verified, your profile stays hidden in the app. Once approved, your profile becomes visible to property owners and bidding opens up. The process protects owners and elevates quality professionals like you.

From vetting to winning jobs
Here is exactly how the process works, from start to finish.
Get vetted
Submit your business license, insurance, portfolio, and reviews. Our team verifies everything within 2 to 3 business days.
See local jobs
Once verified, job requests near you appear in the app and on the web, filtered by your location and the services you offer.
Place your bid
Bid free with a short form: select your service, apply your saved tax rates, add an estimated timeline, and send. Under 5 minutes, no per-bid fees.
Win on value
Owners weight quality, price, and timeline, and bids rank by those weights. Strong reviews and realistic timelines win jobs, not the lowest number. Pay a lead fee only when awarded.
What's in the bid form
The streamlined bid form takes less than 5 minutes to complete.
Service selection
Choose from the services on your business account, so you bid only on jobs you are qualified for.
Tax rates
Your pre-configured tax rates are pulled automatically from your contractor account settings.
Estimated timeline
Provide a realistic timeline for the project. It helps owners plan and shows your professionalism.
Ready to send
Review your bid one last time, then submit. The owner receives it instantly and can message you with questions.
Better leads, better system
Why contractors choose QuoteAhead for lead generation.
Quality leads only
Every lead is a real property owner actively looking for a contractor. No bots and no fake requests.
Area matching
Only see jobs in your service area. No wasted time on projects outside your coverage zone.
No per-lead charges
Bidding is free and unlimited. You pay a lead fee only when you are awarded the job. No pay-to-play ranking, ever.
Verified platform
All property owners are verified users, so your bids go to real people, not spam accounts.
How to win more bids
Best practices from top-performing contractors on the platform.
Respond quickly
Owners often shortlist contractors who respond first. Enable notifications and check for new jobs regularly.
Showcase your work
Keep your portfolio updated with recent projects. High-quality photos of completed work raise your win rate.
Be detailed
Provide clear timelines and scope in your bids. The more detail you give upfront, the more trust you build.
Price for value
Research local market rates and price fairly. Owners weight quality and timeline too, so the lowest number does not automatically win.
Build your reputation
Encourage satisfied clients to leave reviews. A strong review profile dramatically increases your chances of winning.
Complete your profile
Fill out every section of your contractor profile. Owners trust contractors with complete, professional profiles.
Common questions
Everything you need to know about securing leads on QuoteAhead.
What does it cost to bid?
Nothing. Bidding is free and unlimited, with no per-lead charges and no per-bid charges. A lead fee applies only on jobs you are awarded: 5% on the first $10,000 and 2.5% above that, capped at $1,500 per job. On Pro it drops to 3% and 1.5%, capped at $1,000.
How long does the vetting process take?
Typically 2 to 3 business days after you submit all required documentation. You get an email notification once approved, and you can start bidding right away.
Which jobs can I see?
Once verified, you see every job request posted in your service area that matches the services you offer. Jobs become visible automatically based on location and service type.
Is there a limit to how many bids I can submit?
No. Bid on as many jobs as you want, free. We encourage contractors to be selective and bid on jobs they are confident they can complete well.
What happens after I submit a bid?
The owner receives your bid immediately and reviews it alongside the others, ranked by their quality, price, and timeline weights. They can message you or award you the job directly. You get notifications for all activity.
Can I update my bid after submitting?
Bids cannot be edited after submission, to keep bidding fair. You can message the owner to discuss adjustments or clarifications.
What if a job is not in my exact service area?
Adjust your service area anytime in your account settings. Set your maximum travel distance and you only see jobs within that radius.
