For homeowners

How Cakewalk works

Post your project, receive private estimates and messages from local contractors, and decide who you want to contact.

Homeowners pay $5 to post a project. Contractors use Cakewalk free.

  1. 1. Post your project

    Describe the work, add photos and let contractors know your preferred timing. You'll review the complete posting before it goes live.

  2. 2. Receive estimates and messages

    Local contractors can send a price, share their experience or ask questions. Their responses are private.

  3. 3. Compare your options

    Review each contractor's price, experience, photos, availability and message in one place. Contractors cannot see one another's responses.

  4. 4. Contact the contractors you choose

    Respond to the contractors who interest you and decide what happens next. You are never required to select anyone.

Estimates are private. Contractors never see other contractors' prices or messages.
