The ShowUp Guarantee

This isn't a slogan. It's a commitment to a better homeowner experience.

Verified Pros Only

Every contractor on the platform is vetted, insured, and background-checked. Homeowners want confidence before booking someone to come to their home.

Live GPS Tracking

See where your contractor is and get a better idea of when they’ll arrive. No more vague "sometime this afternoon" scheduling windows.

No-Show, No-Pay

If a contractor does not show up, homeowners should not feel stuck waiting around without answers. The system is designed to help reduce no-show frustration and improve scheduling reliability.

Automatic Backup

If a contractor declines or becomes unavailable, the system can help move the request to the next available professional. The goal is to keep homeowners from restarting the process from scratch.

Watch out for these contractor red flags — anywhere in the U.S.

The Federal Trade Commission regularly warns homeowners about home-improvement scams. If you're booking a contractor anywhere — on our platform or off — these are the signals to walk away from:

  • •Large up-front cash deposits — reputable contractors rarely ask for more than 10–30% down, and the FTC warns against paying large sums in cash.
  • •No written contract — verbal estimates with door-to-door pressure are a hallmark of storm chasers.
  • •"Today only" pricing — legitimate contractors don't need same-day decisions.
  • •No proof of insurance or written warranty — reputable contractors carry liability coverage and put their workmanship guarantee in writing before any work begins.

ShowUp Promise only accepts vetted, insured contractors onto the platform — but knowing the red flags is worth carrying with you anywhere.

Sound Familiar?

“You took the day off work. The contractor said ‘between 8 and 4.’ It’s 5pm. Nobody came. Nobody called.”

— ShowUp Promise Homeowner

“You called four contractors. Two went straight to voicemail. One said three weeks out. The last one never showed up for the estimate.”

— ShowUp Promise Homeowner

ShowUp Promise was built to make finding a contractor simpler, faster, and more reliable.

Built for Real Home Problems, Coast to Coast

Homes across the country face very different challenges depending on where you live.

Extreme heat can push AC systems past the breaking point in the South and Southwest. Snow, ice, and storms damage roofs, gutters, and pipes across colder regions. Hard water, aging wiring, and pests are common concerns almost everywhere.

That is why homeowners want contractors who understand local conditions, local codes, and the urgency of getting help fast — wherever they are.

Frequently Asked Questions About Finding Local Contractors

How Do I Find Trusted Contractors Near Me?

Describe what you need in the chat box at the top of the page, and ShowUp Promise will match you with a verified, insured, background-checked contractor available in your area. Every pro is vetted before they join the platform, so you can book with confidence anywhere in the United States.

How Do I Verify a Contractor Is Licensed, Bonded, and Insured?

Before you hire, ask for proof of a current trade license, general liability insurance, and an active bond, and confirm the business name on the documents matches who you are dealing with. Licensing is handled at the state or local level, so check with your state or city contractor licensing board. Read recent Google reviews and ask for two or three references you can call. Every contractor in the ShowUp Promise network is checked for license, insurance, and background before they can accept a job, so this is handled for you.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Contractor?

It depends on the trade and the job, but as a rough national guide a handyman runs about 65 to 125 dollars an hour, a plumber about 70 to 145 dollars an hour, and an HVAC diagnostic about 75 to 150 dollars. After-hours, weekend, and emergency visits usually cost more, and prices vary by region and local cost of living. You always see and approve the price before any work begins, with no surprise charges. Homeowners can also offset the cost of qualifying energy upgrades with federal tax credits listed at ENERGY STAR.

How Many Quotes Should I Get Before Hiring?

Getting at least three written estimates is the safest approach, so you can compare scope, timeline, and price. Be cautious of a bid that comes in far below the others, since it often signals cut corners, missing permits, or change-order surprises later. ShowUp Promise matches you with vetted local pros so you can compare real options quickly.

Is It Normal to Pay a Deposit, and Should I Ever Pay in Cash?

A deposit can be normal for larger jobs, usually between 10 and 30 percent, but you should never be pressured into paying more than half up front or paying in cash. The Federal Trade Commission recommends paying by card or check so the transaction is traceable if anything goes wrong. Booking through ShowUp Promise keeps your payment in-app and protected.

Do I Need a Permit for My Home Project?

Major work such as a roof replacement, structural changes, room additions, and larger electrical or plumbing jobs usually needs a permit from your local city or county building department, while cosmetic jobs like painting, flooring, or trim generally do not. Permit rules vary by jurisdiction — you can find your local office through the USA.gov local government directory. Projects that disturb asbestos, lead paint, or air quality may also fall under EPA rules. A reputable contractor pulls the required permits for you and schedules the inspections. The pros in our network handle permitting as part of the job.

What Types of Contractors Can I Find?

Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, handyman, painting, carpentry, appliance repair, locksmith, cleaning, landscaping, and pest control — plus general contractors for larger projects. If your issue doesn't fit a category, just describe it in the chat box and the system will route you. Before an appliance or HVAC repair, it's worth checking whether your unit has an open safety recall at CPSC recall notices or reviewing EPA guidance on refrigerants and safe disposal.

Can I Book Emergency Home Services?

Yes. Many contractors on the platform offer same-day and after-hours service for urgent issues like burst pipes, AC or heating outages, electrical failures, and lockouts. The matching system prioritizes contractors available now when you flag the job as urgent. If the problem is a wider utility outage rather than your own system, contact your local utility first, and for storm and weather emergencies check Ready.gov.

What if a Contractor Doesn't Show?

The platform is designed around the ShowUp Guarantee: if a contractor doesn't show, you don't pay, and the system attempts to automatically reassign your job to the next available verified pro so you're not left starting over.

Does ShowUp Promise Serve My City?

ShowUp Promise is building a nationwide network of verified contractors across the United States. Start by describing your job in the chat box, and the system will match you with available pros in your area. We're expanding city by city — starting with major metros like Phoenix — and adding new service areas regularly.

Can I Track When the Contractor Is Coming?

Yes. When tracking is available, you can see live GPS arrival updates so you know when to expect your contractor instead of waiting through a vague window.
