Is matching free for homeowners?
Yes. You pay the contractor for the trade work if you hire them — not a lead fee to TrustZe for the match request.
TrustZe is a home-service matching broker founded around Dallas and expanded market-by-market. We connect homeowners with licensed, insured independent contractors after credential screening. We do not perform plumbing, HVAC, roofing, or other trade work ourselves, we do not run a consumer Google Business Profile as if we were the local plumber, and we do not sell leads into anonymous call-center auctions.
Homeowners use TrustZe when they want a clearer path than random search ads: a vetted introduction, transparent broker identity, and city trade pages that explain scope before a visit. Contractors use TrustZe to receive matched demand in the ZIPs they actually cover — after credentials clear screening.
Homeowners can decline a match. Contractors can pause intake when booked out. That flexibility is intentional: forced introductions create bad jobs and bad reviews. The broker’s job is to improve the odds of a clean, local, credentialed fit — not to guarantee outcomes.
We prefer helpful, honest hubs over keyword spam. Partner inventory must clear screening before public matching. Editorial pages should explain broker identity clearly. When coverage is sparse, we still publish useful hiring guidance and say so — we do not invent contractors, reviews, or licenses.
That discipline is also an SEO stance: crawl budget should hit pages that help homeowners act. If you are a contractor building coverage in a new ZIP, update your profile and insurance dates so homeowners see accurate signals.

No. Warranties and workmanship commitments come from the licensed contractor you hire. We help with match clarity and screening context.
Plans can start free, but every public partner still passes credential screening. Growth never overrides licensing or insurance checks.
Whether you arrived from a city hub, a guide, or a company profile, the broker rules stay the same in your area and every market we support. TrustZe screens partners, introduces you for a specific job, and steps back while you hire and pay the independent contractor. We do not perform trade work, we do not guarantee workmanship, and we do not sell your request into anonymous multi-bidder call centers.
A strong match request includes the city, trade, urgency, photos, access notes, and any HOA or permit constraints. A strong proposal answers scope, materials, exclusions, warranty, and change-order rules in writing. If those pieces are missing, pause — clarity is cheaper than a surprise invoice.
