How ProCure Works
ProCure is a home-improvement marketplace built on three ideas: contractors should be verified before they bid, bids should be sealed so price competition is honest, and payments should sit in escrow so neither side can be left holding the bag.
New here? Your first project comes with a $15 welcome credit
Every new ProCure account starts with a $15 credit that's applied automatically when you fund your first project — no code to enter.
For homeowners: how to hire a contractor on ProCure
Post a detailed job
Write a clear scope of work, attach photos, set a budget range, and pick a bid deadline. Common projects include kitchen and bathroom remodels, deck and fence construction, roofing, painting, flooring, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and landscaping.
Receive sealed bids
Verified local contractors submit competitive bids that are hidden from each other until your bid deadline passes. Sealed bidding means contractors can't undercut each other in real time, so the price you see is each pro's honest number.
Compare side-by-side
When the deadline closes, you see every bid at once: amount, proposed timeline, contractor rating, license and insurance status, and past completed jobs.
Award and fund escrow
When you pick a contractor, the awarded amount is held in escrow through Stripe. The contractor sees the funds are committed, but they don't get paid until you confirm the work is complete.
Release on completion
Inspect the work, release the escrow, and leave a review. Reviews are two-sided and simultaneously published.
For contractors: how to win jobs on ProCure
Get verified once
Submit your contractor license number, insurance certificate, and identity once. A verified badge follows your profile across every bid you submit.
Subscribe to bid
Contractors pay a flat monthly subscription to submit bids — no per-lead fees, no surprise charges.
Bid on real jobs
Browse local jobs by ZIP code and trade. Every listing comes with a written scope, photos, and a budget signal.
Get paid on time
The homeowner funds escrow when they award you. Stripe pays you directly through Stripe Connect — usually next business day.
Why escrow matters
ProCure's escrow eliminates the two most common home-improvement failure modes: homeowners who pay a deposit and never see the contractor again, and contractors who finish the work and can't collect.
