Homeowners have the ability to reveal or conceal their phone number and/or email
address when they post their home improvement project on 23HourBids.com
Homeowners will have to include their address so certain contractors can view the
house on google maps, for instance roofers or solar companies or landscapers may
want a better view of the house to ensure a detailed bid.
Contacting a homeowner in this fashion if they have concealed their contact details
is very much frowned upon and may lead to expulsion for repeat offenders.
You will have access to privately message the homeowner after bidding. Constant
badgering may result in the homeowner blocking you. We prefer our contractors
operate in a no-pressure sales process. We advise our homeowners not to just grab
the lowest bid but to actually message all contractors regarding quality of
workmanship, quality of materials, timeframes and of course price.
When you sign up you will be asked for 3 designated bidders. If number 1 is ill or
away, just go to your profile and switch to designated bidder 2 or 3 with just one
click. This way you’ll never miss a project.

wish to cancel your agreement just give us 30 days notice before your agreement
