How US Home Services Works

How does US Home Services match me with a professional?

It's simple. When you call us or browse our website, you tell us what service you need and where you're located. Our system routes your request to an available local professional who specializes in the type of work you need. You then schedule service directly with that professional.

Do you provide services directly or connect me with a local pro?

We're a matching platform. We connect you with independent local professionals who perform the work. The contractor you're matched with handles the on-site service, provides estimates, and completes the job. Because we're not the ones doing the physical work — we make it easy for you to find someone who can.

Why should I use US Home Services instead of searching on my own?

Our network saves you time and effort. Instead of calling dozens of contractors yourself, we connect you with an available professional who fits your needs. This is especially helpful for emergency situations or when you need someone quickly.

Is US Home Services free for homeowners?

Yes. Our matching service is completely free. You pay the contractor directly only for the work you approve. There are no membership fees, subscription costs, or hidden charges for using our matching service.

Do I approve the price before work begins?

Yes. The contractor assesses the issue and provides an estimate before starting any work. You should always approve the estimate before work begins. If you have questions about pricing, ask the contractor directly before agreeing.

What areas does US Home Services cover?

We provide nationwide coverage across all 50 states. Availability varies by service type and local provider coverage. Check our service areas page or call us to confirm service availability in your location.

Scheduling & Service

How fast can I get an appointment?

In many areas, same-day or next-day availability is possible depending on the type of service and local provider schedules. Emergency situations receive priority routing. Call us and share your needs so we can match you with an available professional quickly.

Do you offer emergency or same-day service?

In many areas, yes. If you have an urgent situation — like a burst pipe, electrical hazard, no heat in winter, or active water damage — call us and let us know it's urgent. We prioritize emergency routing when available.

What information should I share when I call?

To get the fastest match, share:

Your ZIP code or city
A brief description of the issue
Whether it's urgent or routine
Any relevant details like appliance brand, system type, or how long the issue has existed

Photos can help if damage is visible, though they're not required.

Can I cancel or reschedule?

Yes. Let the contractor know as early as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule. They can then adjust their schedule. Contact us if you need help with rescheduling.

What payment methods are accepted?

Payment methods vary by contractor. Many accept major credit cards and cash. Ask when scheduling to confirm which payment methods the contractor supports.

Trust & Credibility

How do I know the professional will be reliable?

We focus on connecting you with experienced, verified professionals who maintain proper credentials and service standards. Before work begins, you can request to see a contractor's credentials and verify coverage. We also encourage you to approve estimates before any work starts.

Are contractors properly credentialed and insured?

We aim to connect you with professionals who operate legally in their market and maintain appropriate coverage. For your peace of mind, always request proof of coverage and credentials before work begins. It's your right as a customer.

What if I'm not satisfied with the work?

Start by contacting the contractor directly to address any concerns. Most professionals want the opportunity to resolve issues. If you need help with follow-up, contact us and we'll assist with next steps.

How is my personal information handled?

We use your details only to route your request to the right professional. We share only what's necessary for scheduling and service. We do not sell your personal information.

Pricing & Payment

How is pricing handled?

The contractor assesses the issue and provides an estimate. Pricing varies by service type, scope of work, and location. Always review and approve the estimate before work begins.

Are there any fees for using US Home Services?

No. Our matching service is free. You never pay us a processing fee, matching fee, or membership cost. Any payment goes directly to the contractor for work performed.

Do contractors charge for inspections or diagnostics?

Many contractors charge service call or diagnostic fees, which vary by provider and location. These fees are typically discussed before work begins. Always ask about potential fees up front.

What happens if the contractor finds a bigger problem than expected?

Contractors should communicate any additional findings before doing more work. You can approve additional work, get a second opinion, or decline — it's your choice. Always ask about costs before approving additional services.
