HeyPros is a platform for residential contractors who want to find homeowner projects and for companies that need tools to organize subcontractor work. Contractors using the Looking for Work side of HeyPros can browse available homeowner requests, review project information, and choose which leads they want to pursue.
The contractor controls the sales process after a lead is selected. HeyPros provides the project information and homeowner contact details. The contractor handles the conversation, walkthrough, estimate, contract, scheduling, work, and payment directly with the homeowner.
What Contractors See Before Choosing a Lead
Available leads appear inside the HeyPros app based on the trades and service areas selected in the contractor's profile. A contractor can review the trade, general location, project timing, and information supplied with the request before deciding whether to pursue it.
This lets contractors screen opportunities against the work they perform, the distance their crews travel, and the capacity they have available. HeyPros does not automatically select individual leads for contractors. Each contractor decides which projects fit the company.
HeyPros plans to support a broad range of residential trades as coverage expands. Lead availability depends on current homeowner demand, location, trade settings, and the projects available when a contractor opens the app.
What Happens After a Lead Is Selected
Selecting a lead makes the homeowner's contact information available. The contractor can then call or text the homeowner to confirm the scope, ask follow-up questions, and schedule an estimate or walkthrough.
Homeowner leads are quote requests, not booked jobs. A selected lead creates a direct sales opportunity. The contractor is responsible for making contact, qualifying the project, presenting the company, and following the opportunity through the normal estimating process.
Contacting the homeowner promptly matters because people requesting estimates are often comparing availability, approach, and pricing. For a complete explanation of the lead process, read Understanding HeyPros Homeowner Leads.
How Contractors Choose Projects
Contractors review available project information before deciding whether to pursue a lead. Current subscription terms and account details are shown during signup, while the HeyPros Help Center maintains the latest information about homeowner leads and contractor accounts.
What HeyPros Does and Does Not Handle
HeyPros helps create the connection between a contractor and a homeowner. HeyPros does not perform the work, employ the contractor, set the estimate, or supervise the crew.
Pricing, contracts, deposits, schedules, change orders, warranties, and final payments stay between the contractor and homeowner. Each contractor can use the estimating process, contract language, production standards, and payment schedule that fit the company and comply with local requirements.
The contractor also decides how to work the lead. A painting company may begin with photos and a phone conversation before scheduling a walkthrough. A roofing contractor may confirm access and request exterior photos. An electrical contractor may need the panel information, service size, and a description of the existing condition before giving the homeowner a useful appointment window.
Looking for Work and Looking to Hire and Manage Subs
HeyPros has separate account types because finding homeowner projects and managing subcontractor operations are different needs.
A Looking for Work account is for contractors who want to browse and pursue homeowner leads. It is primarily used through the HeyPros mobile app.
A Looking to Hire and Manage Subs account is for companies that hire or coordinate subcontractors. It includes tools for organizing existing subcontractors, dispatching work orders, collecting job documentation, tracking compliance, and searching the HeyPros contractor database.
A contractor who received an invitation from a company should use that invitation to access the company's work. Contractors who also want to browse homeowner leads can create a Looking for Work account. The Help Center article Which HeyPros Account Do I Need? explains the account choices in more detail.
How Contractors Get Started
Start by creating a Looking for Work account and completing the contractor profile. Enter accurate trade and service-area information because those settings determine which homeowner projects appear.
Review the projects currently available before choosing anything. Check the location, project type, timing, and details against the jobs your company wants. When a lead fits, pursue it and contact the homeowner promptly with your name, company, and a specific reference to the requested project.
Continue following up when the first call is not answered. Homeowners may be at work, screening an unfamiliar number, or gathering project information. A short text after the call gives the homeowner context and a direct way to respond.
