Frequently asked questions
How much does this cost?
Nothing to search, nothing to get matched, nothing to contact a firm. If you decide to hire one, you pay that firm directly for their services — BetterPro never charges you a fee.
How are firms vetted?
Firms are reviewed for licensing, where required by their state, and undergo a background check before they're added to our network. Look for the badges on a firm's profile for specifics like "Licensed & Insured" or "Background Checked."
How fast will I hear back?
It varies by firm. Each profile lists a typical response time, and most firms get back to you within a few hours of a request.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. We only share the details you submit with the specific firm or firms you choose to contact. We don't sell your information to third parties.
What if I don't find a match in my area?
We're actively expanding firm coverage. If we can't show you a solid match for your zip code yet, try again soon or reach out to us directly at support@betterpro.one and we'll try to help.
