Reviews
The upper hand, in their words
"Roofer quoted me $18k. Contrax flagged the deposit and pulled his complaint history in 20 seconds. Ended up paying $11k with a licensed pro."

"I had no idea what a fair price for HVAC was. The counter-offer wording was better than anything I would've written on my own."
Emma Lindström
First-time buyer
"I run four units. Contrax has saved me at least $9k this year. It's like having a general contractor in my pocket."

"$4,000 for door locks. Contrax showed me the fair range was $600–$900. I sent the counter and the guy just… accepted it."
