Ratedeed is the contractor marketplace built on transparency, accountability, and trust. We connect homeowners with verified, reviewed local professionals so every project starts on the right foundation.
Finding a trustworthy contractor shouldn't feel like a gamble. For decades, homeowners have navigated the home improvement industry with limited information, relying on word-of-mouth recommendations, yellow pages, or blind online searches — often with disappointing or costly results. Ratedeed was founded to change that.
Our mission is to create the most transparent, reliable, and user-friendly marketplace for home services — a platform where homeowners can find qualified professionals with confidence and where great contractors can build their reputation and grow their business on merit.
We believe that every homeowner deserves access to clear information about a contractor's qualifications, track record, and standing in the community. And we believe that every honest, hardworking contractor deserves a fair platform where their skills and professionalism speak for themselves.
At Ratedeed, we're not just connecting people — we're raising the standard for how home improvement projects get done. We're building a community where trust is earned, accountability is built in, and quality work is recognized and rewarded.

Whether you're a homeowner planning a renovation or a contractor looking to grow your business, our platform is designed to make the process simple, safe, and transparent.
Homeowners describe their project and receive matches from verified local contractors. Compare profiles, read authentic reviews, view portfolio photos, and check license and insurance status — all in one place.
Communicate directly with contractors through our built-in messaging system. Get quotes, discuss project details, negotiate terms, and agree on a scope of work and payment schedule — all documented on the Platform.
Funds are held securely in our escrow payment system and released only when project milestones are confirmed. No more upfront payments with no guarantees. Your money is protected until the work is done right.
Trust is the foundation of everything we do at Ratedeed. We've built comprehensive safeguards into every step of the process to protect both homeowners and contractors and ensure that every interaction on our platform is safe, fair, and transparent.
Every contractor on Ratedeed goes through a verification process. We manually confirm business licenses and verify business details submitted by the contractor. Our team reviews each application individually to ensure credibility. The green "Verified" badge on a contractor profile means their submitted business license has been confirmed by our team.
Our review system is built on authenticity and accountability. Only homeowners who have engaged a contractor through the Platform can leave a verified review. We use advanced systems to detect and remove fake, incentivized, or retaliatory reviews. Both homeowners and contractors can respond to reviews, creating a balanced and transparent feedback ecosystem.
Our integrated escrow system ensures that homeowners' payments are secure and that contractors get paid for completed work. Funds are held in a secure escrow account and released according to a mutually agreed payment schedule — only when milestones are confirmed. If a dispute arises, our dedicated dispute resolution team mediates fairly based on evidence submitted by both parties.
All project-related communication happens through our Platform messaging system, creating a complete and timestamped record of every conversation. This protects both parties by ensuring there's always a clear paper trail. Messages are encrypted in transit, and we never share personal contact information without explicit consent.
Our trust and safety team continuously monitors the Platform for suspicious activity, policy violations, and potential fraud. We track contractor performance metrics, review patterns, and user feedback to identify and address issues before they become problems. Accounts that repeatedly violate our standards are suspended or permanently removed.
Disputes happen, and when they do, we're here to help. Our multi-step dispute resolution process — from direct communication facilitation to formal escrow mediation — is designed to resolve issues fairly and efficiently. Our dispute resolution specialists review evidence from both sides and make impartial decisions about the disposition of escrowed funds.
Ratedeed isn't just for homeowners — it's built for contractors too. We know that talented, reliable professionals often struggle to stand out in a crowded market. Lead-generation services charge for unqualified leads, and word-of-mouth can be slow and unpredictable.
On Ratedeed, your work speaks for itself. Your profile showcases your verified credentials, your portfolio of completed projects, and genuine reviews from real clients. When a homeowner finds you on Ratedeed, they already know you're qualified, insured, and trusted by the community.
We invest in your success by providing tools to manage your projects, communicate with clients, and receive secure payments through our escrow system. You get paid reliably for completed milestones without chasing down payments or worrying about collections.
Whether you're a solo tradesperson just starting out or an established contracting business looking to scale, Ratedeed provides the platform, tools, and audience to help you grow. Join thousands of contractors who have built thriving businesses through Ratedeed.
