Contractors profit from
keeping you in the dark.
The home service industry relies on informational asymmetry. We're building an open-source pricing engine to end the era of secret quotes and predatory markups.
The Problem: Price Secrecy
Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to find the cost of replacing an AC unit or installing a water heater online? Big corporate conglomerates and private equity-backed contractors intentionally scrub pricing data from the internet.
By keeping the "fair market rate" a secret, sales technicians are able to inspect your home and charge you the absolute maximum amount you are willing to pay—often marking up standard equipment by 300% to 500%.
The Solution: TrueQuote
TrueQuote is a community-driven database that crowdsources anonymous service quotes from homeowners across the country.
We aggregate thousands of invoices to calculate the exact, verified market median price for over 100+ standard trade jobs in your specific zip code.
When you know the baseline cost of labor and materials, you can negotiate firmly and instantly spot a predatory quote.
Arm yourself with data.
Before your next home project, look up the verified median price. And if you've recently completed a project, upload your anonymous quote to help your neighbors.
