This isn't lead generation. I build long-term relationships with every subcontractor in the network, so every introduction is to someone I already know.

What you can expect

Four things I commit to on every referral.

Trusted trade partners

A direct connection to one company, without a flood of bids from strangers.

Fast response

I usually connect you with the right partner within 24 hours.

Vetted partners

License, insurance, and customer reviews are checked before anyone joins the network.

Quote coordination

I keep quotes moving, with your existing subs or with partners I introduce.

How a referral works

From your call to a working relationship.

  1. Tell me what you need

    The trade, the property, the scope, and your timeline. A short call or a few lines in the form below is enough.

  2. I match you with a partner usually < 24 hrs

    I pick the partner in that trade who fits the job, and confirm they have the capacity before I make the introduction.

  3. You work with them directly

    You get a direct introduction and deal with the partner yourself. You owe me nothing for the referral.

  4. I stay in the loop

    If something stalls, I follow up. If a partner falls short, I want to hear about it, because it affects who stays in the network.

Vetting

Checked before they join. Not after you hire them.

Every trade partner is reviewed before I refer them to anyone. Here's what I look at.

Active contractor's license Checked with the California Contractors State License Board for the right classification and good standing.
Current insurance Proof of liability coverage and any required workers' compensation.
Customer reviews A track record of reliable work, clear communication, and showing up when they say they will.
A real relationship I know the people behind each company and keep working with the ones who deliver.

No one joins the network without being vetted.

Quote coordination

Hand off the back-and-forth.

I can also coordinate and manage quotes from the subcontractors you already use. I'll request pricing, follow up when replies go quiet, and organize the quotes so they're ready for your review.

That takes the chasing off your plate, so you can focus on the bigger fish you have to fry.

FAQ

Common questions

Is it free for general contractors?

Yes. GCs, builders, remodelers, and property managers never pay for a referral. The trade partner pays a referral fee of 3–10% of the job, set by job size, and only when they win a job I introduced.

How is this different from a lead site?

Lead sites sell your request to as many companies as they can, and you get buried in calls and bids. I work with a network of vetted subcontractors I know personally, and I introduce you to the one that fits your job.

How fast will I hear back?

I usually connect you with the right partner within 24 hours.

What do you check before a partner joins?

Their California contractor's license, their insurance, and their customer reviews. If a partner doesn't meet that bar, they don't join.

Can you help with quotes from my own subcontractors?

Yes. I can request pricing, follow up, and organize quotes for your review, whether they come from your current subs or from partners I introduce.

What area do you serve?

San Diego County, from the South Bay up through North County and out to East County.

I'm a subcontractor. How do I join?
