How The Guild
Works.
No bidding wars. No spam calls from twelve contractors. Your job goes to one Guild member who can actually do it. Here's the whole process, start to finish.
Tell Us
What You Need
Quick form. Service, ZIP code, contact info. Takes 30 seconds. We use this to match you to a Guild member who serves your area, takes new work right now, and has the right license for your job.
We Match You
To One Pro
You get one match, not ten. The Guild member calls or texts you within 24 hours. We pick the right Guild member for your job because being one of ten options means nobody owns the relationship.
Get The
Work Done
They schedule. They show up. They do the work to the Guild Standard. If anything goes sideways, you tell us privately on the Report An Issue page. We investigate every report.
Why One Match,
Not Ten?
Most lead generation sites work like this. A homeowner submits a request. The site sells that lead to ten contractors. Now ten people call you. Nine annoy you. The tenth might do the job.
That model makes the lead site rich. It doesn't help anyone else.
The Guild does it differently. Your request goes to one Guild member. That member is on the hook to respond, quote, schedule, and deliver. Nobody else is racing them to the phone. They own the outcome.
This is how trades worked for centuries before the internet got involved. We're just bringing it back.
FAQ
Is this free for me as a homeowner?
Yes. Always. The Guild is supported by member dues and Master tier marketing services. Your wallet never opens to find a pro through us.
What if my ZIP isn't covered?
Tell us anyway. We grow into new ZIP codes based on demand. Your request might be the one that brings a Guild member to your block.
Do you handle emergencies?
Some Guild members offer 24/7 emergency response. Use the form and select the matching service. We route emergency requests faster, but if you have a true safety issue (gas leak, water main break, electrical hazard) call 911 or your local utility first.
What if I want to interview multiple contractors?
That's not what we do. The Guild is built on the idea that one trusted match beats ten cold quotes. If you want to shop around for the lowest bid, sites like Angi or HomeAdvisor will serve you better.
What happens if the Guild member doesn't show up?
Submit a Report An Issue. We investigate every report within 48 hours. Members who repeatedly fail to show get removed from the Guild.
Can I request a specific Guild member?
Yes. Mention them by name in the form. We'll route the request directly if they serve your ZIP and trade.
How long until I hear back?
Within 24 hours from the Guild member, usually faster. If 24 hours pass with no contact, email us at hello@dmvtradesguild.com and we'll re-route.
