Real handymen, real businesses, real numbers. No per-lead fees, no auctions, no per-quote credits — just $19/month flat.
“Was paying Angi $1,200/mo for leads I won maybe 1 in 8. Switched 4 months ago — same number of jobs, $19/mo flat. Math is wild.”
“Thumbtack credits were eating $400/mo whether or not I won. Now I get direct contacts and keep my customer relationships. No going back.”
“Five years on HomeAdvisor and the lead quality dropped every quarter. Switched in January. My phone rings the same; my wallet thanks me.”
“I was running both. Killed both. The CRM and SMS tools alone are worth $19. The flat fee is just gravy.”
“Veteran-owned, family business. Angi treated us like a number. Here, the founders DM'd me in week one. Different planet.”
“Houzz is great for portfolio. LocalHandyman is great for actually getting work done. I use both. Houzz costs me 4x as much.”
“TaskRabbit kept 30%. Thumbtack charged per quote. LocalHandyman? $19/month. I'm saving $700/mo and netting more jobs.”
“Angi sold my "lead" to 5 contractors. By the time I called, 4 already had. Wasted credits, wasted time. Done with that.”
“Switched in March. Booked 22 jobs in May from direct contacts on my subdomain. Last May on HomeAdvisor I won 4.”
“The AI estimate tool drafts my quotes for me. I check, send, done. Was costing me 30 minutes a quote. Now it's 3.”
“I was a Thumbtack Top Pro. Cancelled it. Their algorithm changes screwed me twice. LocalHandyman doesn't have an algorithm — customers pick me directly.”
“Porch leads were warmed-over from movers. Half didn't convert. Direct LocalHandyman contacts close at 60%. Different game.”
