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.
