Vetted contractors for your projects, introduced one at a time

Vetted contractors are trade contractors checked before they are recommended. Contractor Referral Partners introduces builders, property managers and facility managers to one established contractor for the trade they need, what builders call trade partners. Tell us the trade and your metro. If we work with a contractor for it there, we introduce you on a call. It costs you nothing.

Last updated 10 October 2026. Written for businesses that hire trade contractors. Are you a contractor looking for work? Start here instead.

Who this is for

Pick the door with your name on it

The trade is the same, and what you need from the contractor is not. A builder wants a bid by Friday. A property manager wants the unit ready by the first.

The difference

A contractor network, not a contractor marketplace

Search how to find a contractor and you get a list. Search how to find a good contractor and you get a longer one. A list is where the work starts, not where it ends.

A marketplace or a search

A list to work through

  • Dozens of names, and no word on crew size, capacity or response time.
  • You call five. Two call back. One sends a bid, eventually.
  • Next project, you start the list again.

A trade partner

One call to make

  • One established contractor for the trade, introduced on a call.
  • One point of contact, on a line that is answered at any hour.
  • The same contractor on the next project. That is how a preferred vendor gets made.

We do not hand out vetted contractors by the dozen. We introduce one, and that contractor is not being put in front of you by us beside a competitor.

The checks are still yours to make. Ask for a certificate of insurance, proof they are licensed and insured for the work, and two references.

What you get

What a business gets from an introduction

Four things, and none of them is an invoice.

  • One contractor, not a list

    We introduce one established contractor for the trade you need. You are not handed five names to chase.

  • A line that gets answered

    You get one number for that contractor. If they are on a job, an AI receptionist answers at any hour, takes the details and alerts them.

  • You hear what happened

    You are told when your job is received and when it is scheduled, so you are not left guessing.

  • No cost to you

    No fee, no contract and no obligation to send work. The contractor pays us, not you.

How it works

From your request to a bid

  1. Tell us what you need

    The trade, your metro and a line about the project. It takes a minute.

  2. We introduce you on a call

    If we work with a contractor for that trade in your metro, we set up the call. If we do not, we tell you. You speak to the contractor before any job is discussed.

  3. They bid, and you decide

    Contractors we work with are expected to answer within one business day and bid within three. The decision stays yours.

Other businesses

Designers, architects and agents

You do not run the job, but your client asks you who to use. That makes your recommendation the one that counts.

  • Interior designers and architects. An interior designer and contractor who work well together save a client weeks. We introduce you to one for the trade your projects need most.
  • Real estate agents. A repair found on inspection has days, not weeks. A contractor who answers is worth more than a long preferred vendor list.
  • Insurance agents. After a claim, your policyholder asks who to call. A search for insurance restoration contractors will not tell them. You can give one name with confidence.

Some professions are restricted from accepting a referral fee, and the rules differ by state. We do not ask you to accept one.

Questions businesses ask us

  1. What does vetted mean for the contractors you introduce?

    Vetted contractors, as Contractor Referral Partners uses the term, are established trade contractors at around $1M or more in yearly revenue, who run crews and sell larger jobs. They are expected to answer within one business day and bid within three. A business should still ask for a certificate of insurance, proof of license and two references before it hires.

  2. What is a trade partner?

    A trade partner is a trade contractor that a builder, remodeler or property manager uses again and again, instead of taking new bids for every job. Builders use the term for their regular subcontractors. Contractor Referral Partners introduces a business to one established trade contractor for the trade it needs, so that a single job can become a standing relationship.

  3. What does it cost a business to be introduced to a contractor?

    Nothing. A business pays no fee to Contractor Referral Partners, signs no contract and has no obligation to send work. The contractor pays for the service through a setup fee and a monthly subscription. A business can ask us to stop contacting it at any time, and we remove it from every list we hold.

  4. Is this a contractor marketplace?

    No. A contractor marketplace lists many contractors and leaves the business to sort through them. Contractor Referral Partners is a contractor network built one relationship at a time: we introduce one established contractor for a trade, on a call, and that contractor is not also being put in front of the business by us alongside a competitor.

  5. What kind of contractors do you work with?

    Contractor Referral Partners works with established trade contractors, at around $1M or more in yearly revenue, who run crews and sell larger jobs. The trades are roofing, HVAC, painting, plumbing, landscaping, electrical, siding, windows and doors, decking, fencing, flooring, concrete, tree service, gutters, restoration and drywall. They are expected to answer within one business day and bid within three.
