Homestars is a great resource as a review platform and for the general public to contact potential contractors. As of 2025 they have now switched the platform. Prior process, someone could review your reputation and ratings and connect with you directly. If you have an interested contractor and you short list them, the action of short listing charges the contractor. Often its $20-$40 dollars just to be able to reply to a job inquiry through their platform. As a contractor, it in no way ensures you are picked as 'THE" contractor or will even get the job, after paying to be able to access the ability to establish a connection, or after getting in touch with them. Homestars is basically making the contractor pay to have access through their porthole, per potential job. WE SUGGEST AS ALWAYS TO CONTACT CONTRACTORS DIRECTLY THROUGH THEIR OWN PORTHOLES.
