Following are answers to several common questions about the ImproveNet matching service and the ImproveNet Pro website.

Q. What is ImproveNet? How does it work?
A. ImproveNet is a free service available to homeowners via the Internet. The ImproveNet service matches homeowners' projects to appropriate professionals in their local areas. Here's how it works:

  1. The homeowner submits a project on our website.
  2. We provide project information to you via email or web after we confirm that the homeowner is ready to start the hiring process. (Two-way pager notification option is available.)
  3. You respond as quickly as you can by replying to the email or clicking the "I'm interested" button on the website. If you are among the first four pros to respond, you will receive the project lead information and will be charged a lead fee (Click here for a pricing schedule).
  4. We give the homeowner your name and you also receive the homeowner's name. We recommend that you call immediately. Note that we generally refer between two and four professionals to each homeowner.
