Problem
Property owners often struggle to find reliable residential or commercial builders because verifying licensing, insurance, and experience requires time-consuming research, and existing platforms may list unvetted contractors, leading to project delays or quality issues.
Solution
Brass Tacks provides an online marketplace that aggregates and displays only vetted builders who have been verified for proper licensing, insurance coverage, and relevant experience. Users can search for contractors, compare profiles, and save favorites, streamlining the selection process. The platform presents detailed builder information, including years in business and specialty areas, enabling owners to make informed decisions quickly. While Brass Tacks does not manage contracts or guarantee work quality, it facilitates direct communication between owners and builders, reducing the effort needed to identify qualified candidates.

Primary customers are residential and commercial property owners seeking qualified contractors for new builds, remodels, or renovations.
