Getting Started

01How much does Renovation Bridge cost?

Our service is free for homeowners. Contractors pay us a fixed fee per confirmed appointment, only when a homeowner agrees to meet. There is never a markup on your project.

02Are you the same as Angi or Thumbtack?

No. Those services sell your information to many contractors at once. We work with a small, hand-vetted network and your matchmaker introduces you to a short list selected for your project.

03How long does the matching process take?

A typical homeowner has their first matchmaker conversation within one business day, and meets their first introduced contractor in less than a week.

Projects & Network

04What types of projects do you support?

Kitchen renovations, primary and guest bathrooms, whole-home renovations, additions, and ADU construction. Average project is around $180k, with a typical range from $50k to $1M+.

05How rigorous is your vetting?

We evaluated 350+ Bay Area contractors and only about 1 in 10 make it into our active network. Every approved contractor must clear all 10 of our inspection points — license and insurance, lawsuit history, references, project history, BBB record, background checks, in-person site review, permits and inspections, and more.

06Where do you work?

Across the Bay Area, with focus on Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Marin, and San Francisco counties.

After Your Match

07What happens after the project is complete?

You are covered by our three-year project support guarantee. If anything comes up during or after construction, you call us and we coordinate the resolution with the contractor.

08Can you help with financing or design?

Yes. We refer homeowners to vetted financing partners and to interior designers and architects in our network when projects call for them.
