May 2006
Mississauga, Ont. - An online resource connecting homeowners to
contractors and home improvement service professionals has brought
a new approach to the bidding process.
Called HandyCanadian.com, the site allows homeowners to post for
free their renovation, maintenance, interior or exterior repair,
remodeling or utility services projects online. Contractors register
for a fee to access and bid on the listings.
The site uses database technology to send an e-mail notification
to contractors according to specific project data and location.
Contractors can also use custom searches to allow them to narrow
their findings.
"There has been a steady 20% increase per month in job postings
and we estimate by November 2006 we will receive over 500 job postings
per month" said Max Sheppard, co- founder of HandyCanadian.
