Why homeowners pick us
Where we're different.
Deeper per-vertical question flows
Our funnels ask vertical-specific tier-2 questions (HVAC system age, electrical panel amperage, plumbing severity, etc.) — captures the buyer-eligibility data that drives premium pricing. Networx forms tend to be more generic.
Faster match windows
Most homeowners hear from at least one matched pro within 5 minutes. Emergency requests often get same-day response in metro markets.
Versioned compliance trail
Every consent submission is stamped with the exact TCPA disclosure text shown at the moment of consent, plus TrustedForm certificate. If you ever need to verify what you agreed to, the record is complete.
No homeowner upsells
Free with no membership pitch, no booking fee, no add-ons. Contractors pay us per lead — that's the whole model.
Common questions
Networx questions, answered.
How is HomeServicesCo different from Networx?
Same core model (homeowner submits a request → up to 4 matched contractors reach out), but we focus on 6 high-quality verticals with vertical-specific question flows + a more rigorous compliance trail (versioned TCPA disclosure + TrustedForm). Networx is broader — 20+ verticals — and operates with more standardized lead routing.
Does Networx charge homeowners?
No — Networx is free for homeowners, like HomeServicesCo. Both platforms make money by charging contractors per matched lead.
Which platform routes leads faster?
Both target sub-5-minute response. Real-world speed depends on contractor availability in your ZIP at the time of submission. Our routing logic prioritizes contractors who are actively accepting leads + match your service-area + are within their daily lead cap.
Why does HomeServicesCo have fewer service categories?
Focus over breadth — we'd rather have well-tuned funnels + tight vetting for 6 verticals than mediocre coverage of 20+. If we don't cover the category you need, Networx is a reasonable broader alternative.
Can I use both?
Yes. If you want maximum quote coverage, submitting to both will get you more pros. Be prepared for higher contractor outreach if you do — Networx's network is larger.
Which has better contractor quality?
Both vet for license + insurance. Real differences come from how aggressively each platform polices contractors who underperform. We pull contractors whose customer-satisfaction or response-rate drops; Networx has similar policies but at a larger scale.
