Snapbid is a home repair marketplace serving the Greater Cincinnati area (within 60 miles of Cincinnati, OH). Homeowners post photos and a short description of a repair or improvement project, and local vetted contractors submit competitive bids. The homeowner picks the bid they like, pays a 50% deposit to lock it in, and pays the remaining 50% when the job is finished and approved.
Posting a job is completely free for homeowners. Contractors are vetted with general liability insurance verification and an optional Checkr background check, and verified contractors receive a gold badge on their profile. All payments are processed securely through Stripe using a 50/50 split, with funds routed directly to the contractor's bank account.
Snapbid is built for clear-cut residential projects: painting, drywall repair, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, roofing, HVAC repair and replacement, and general handyman work — anything that doesn't require a lengthy on-site consultation.
Snapbid is currently available in the Greater Cincinnati area, defined as within 60 miles of Cincinnati, OH (zip 45202). Homeowners and contractors outside the area can join the waitlist — we're expanding soon.
