Frequently asked questions

What is HomeManager?
It's your home dashboard — every project, contractor quote, receipt, and record in one calm place. It shares your account with Handyman.com, so anything you do on either shows up on both.
Do I need a separate account from Handyman.com?
No. Sign in with the same Google account or email you use on Handyman.com and your projects are already here.
How does QuoteCheck and the $49 Deep Review work?
Post a project with a contractor's quote and you get a free read plus a milestone plan. The $49 Deep Review adds a line-by-line analysis, negotiation points, a contractor-ready scope — and the $49 credits toward ServiceEscrow protection on that project.
How do protected (milestone) payments work?
Choose 'Protect this project' and your payment is split into milestones held by ServiceEscrow. Money is released to the pro only when you approve each stage. The fee is 2.9% per milestone, capped at $290 per project — minus any Deep Review credit.
Is my payment information safe?
All payments go through ServiceEscrow checkout. HomeManager never stores your card details and never connects to Stripe directly.
How do I get quotes from contractors?
Post a project and vetted local pros send quotes right to your project record, where you can compare and accept the one you want.

Build on HomeManager

HomeManager runs on the eCorp home-services network, with Handyman.com as the shared system of record. Homeowner actions use your session; network partners integrate through the shared lead-intake and entitlements APIs. Authenticate server-to-server with a bearer key.

# Create a project on behalf of a homeowner (session-authenticated)
curl -X POST https://www.homemanager.com/api/projects \
  -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
  -F "title=Kitchen cabinet install" \
  -F "quote_amount=4800" \
  -F "city=Austin" -F "zipcode=78701"
