About RepairConnect

Connecting homeowners with trusted contractors across Southeastern Virginia since 2025.

Our Mission

RepairConnect is a home repair lead marketplace based in Chesapeake, Virginia. We make it simple for homeowners to find licensed, vetted contractors for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, foundation, and remodeling work throughout the Hampton Roads region.

Our AI-powered cost estimate tool gives homeowners a free, instant price range before they ever talk to a contractor. This helps set realistic budget expectations and ensures higher-quality connections for both sides.

How RepairConnect Is Different

Hyper-Local Focus

We serve only Southeastern Virginia — Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Hampton, Newport News, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Williamsburg, and Yorktown. Every lead is local.

Vetted Contractors

All contractors pass a multi-step verification: state license check, insurance confirmation, background screening, reference validation, and public reputation review.

AI-Powered Estimates

Our AI tool analyzes repair descriptions against local market data to provide instant cost ranges. Free for homeowners, no signup required.

Our Contractor Vetting Process

Every contractor on RepairConnect goes through a rigorous five-step verification before they can access homeowner leads:

Step 1: State License Verification

We verify that every contractor holds an active Virginia contractor license through the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR). This includes confirming the license class, trade specialties, and that there are no active disciplinary actions.

Step 2: Insurance Confirmation

We require proof of general liability insurance (minimum $500,000 coverage) and workers' compensation coverage. Insurance certificates are verified directly with the issuing provider before onboarding.

Step 3: Background Screening

A criminal background check is conducted on the business owner or principal operator, covering federal and state criminal databases, sex offender registries, and fraud watch lists.

Step 4: Reference Validation

We require at least two verified past-client references. Our team contacts each reference to confirm the quality of work, professionalism, timeliness, and overall satisfaction.

Step 5: Reputation Review

We review BBB ratings, Google reviews, Yelp profiles, and other public reputation signals. Contractors must maintain a minimum 3.5-star average across public review platforms to remain on the platform.
