How it works
How HyreRemodel works
HyreRemodel costs you nothing. You read the guides and use the calculators. When you want help, you describe the project in a short form, and a person replies to you first. Matching with contractors is not live yet, and no company gets your details unless you agree.
Sending the form books nothing. HyreRemodel is not a contractor, a design service or an instant-quote marketplace. No remodeling contractors are signed up yet, so the form does not set off calls from anyone.
If work is about to start on a house built before 1978, or someone plans to remove a wall, settle the lead paint, asbestos and structural questions first. Permits and approvals covers who to ask.
What are the four steps?
You tell us about the project. A person replies. We introduce a contractor only if you agree. Then you decide.
- Tell us about the project. Your zip code, the kind of project, rough timing and the kind of home. “Not sure yet” and “Researching for now” are both on the form, and so is a box for the details in your own words.
- A person replies to you first. We read what you sent and answer your question. Where the right next call is someone else, such as your building department or a structural engineer, we say so. No company is copied in.
- We introduce a contractor only if you agree. When matching is live in your area, we will ask before passing your details to any named remodeling company. Until then, we tell you it is not live.
- You decide. Talk to a contractor, ask for a written proposal, or keep reading. Nothing on this site commits you to a company, a design or a start date.
What happens to my information?
- A person reads it. Not a routing rule and not an autoresponder.
- We do not sell it. Introducing you to a contractor you asked to meet is not selling a list, and we do not sell lists.
- No company gets it without your OK. You say yes to each named introduction first.
- Your phone number is optional. The form sends without one, and agreeing to calls is never a condition of using the site.
- Your zip code is the location we need. It tells us which state and local rules apply to your project.
- You can have it deleted. Just ask. The privacy policy explains what we store and for how long.
How is HyreRemodel different from a lead-selling site?
Some sites that collect remodeling inquiries work in the ways below. You should know which kind of site you are using.
- Selling one inquiry to several companies. We do not run a lead auction or sell lists.
- Passing details on the moment you submit. Nothing goes anywhere until you agree to a named introduction.
- Requiring a phone number. Ours is optional, and it stays optional.
- Promising three quotes by Friday. We promise no response time and no number of quotes, because no contractor is signed up.
- Calling companies “approved” or “vetted”. We do not use those words, because we have not done the work that would make them true.
- Hiding the useful pages behind the form. Every calculator, guide and study works without your details.
What makes an inquiry easy to answer?
- What is not working. “The kitchen has no counter space” tells us more than “kitchen remodel”. The problem decides the project.
- How old the house is. A house built before 1978 brings the EPA lead rule into any work that disturbs paint.
- What you already have. Drawings, a proposal, a budget or a permit letter. Say so, and we can point at the right page.
- What is fixed. A move-in date, an HOA or condo board, a second unit you want to rent. Each one changes the path.
Can I use the site without the form?
Yes. Every guide and tool is open without it:
- Remodeling projects: what each one involves and the written scope to ask for.
- The remodeling calculators: ten of them, run on your own numbers.
- What drives a remodeling budget: the drivers, without a made-up national average.
- Choosing a remodeling contractor: what to check before you sign.
How might HyreRemodel be paid?
We expect remodeling contractors to pay us for introducing homeowners to them. You are never charged. When that is live, about HyreRemodel will say so.
The risk is that money starts to shape the advice. Our editorial policy keeps the two apart, and how contractors will be checked shows the checks we plan before any introduction, and which are not built yet.
