Contract Detroit guides
How Contract Detroit Works
Find local expertise, compare the work, and start a conversation.
Step 1
Find your professional
Browse contractor profiles and services. Look at portfolios, experience, and service areas to build your shortlist.
Step 2
Discuss your project
Share the scope, location, budget, and timing. Ask about availability and request a written quote.
Step 3

Put it into practice
Two sides of the same local community.
Property owners need the right expertise. Professionals need a place to show what they do. Contract Detroit brings those starting points together through public profiles, service listings, project posts, and messages.
- Browse public profiles and services before creating an account.
- Create an account to message professionals or post a project.
- Offer services and hire for your own projects using the same login.
- Use your workspace to manage your profile, inquiries, and project activity.
Know before you connect
Common questions.
Can I hire and offer services with the same account?
Yes. Choose Both when signing up, or add the other role later. One account lets you hire for your own property and showcase the services you offer.
Does a listing mean a contractor is verified?
A directory profile is a starting point for your research. Ask for references and independently confirm any licensing and insurance relevant to your project before hiring.
How do quotes and payments work?
Discuss the scope and request a written quote directly from the professional. You agree on terms and payment together. Contract Detroit does not process payments or provide escrow.
