Get expert guidance from a TrueBuild
Renovation Consultant

Every TrueBuild homeowner is paired with a personal renovations expert who advises you through navigating proposals, timelines, and contractor selection. Your Renovation Consultant will guide you through every step of your renovation: reviewing and comparing bids, flagging potential issues, coordinating site visits, and answering questions along the way. They can also support proposal negotiations and provide recommendations for designers or architects as needed. Whether you want hands-on support or a second opinion, your Renovation Consultant is here to help—at no cost and with no commitment required.

Compare clear, personalized quotes from matched contractors

Receive competitive bids from three contractors who personalized their proposals for your project. TrueBuild makes these quotes easy to compare and provides full transparency into each contractor's reviews, past work, and costs. Our team can also arrange reference checks and in-person site visits. And if you’d like to meet different contractors after receiving three quotes, our project advisors will search for more options to find you the best fit.
