The process

How we find your match.

We built this service because "search and hope" isn't a process. Here's exactly how we connect design-minded homeowners with contractors who take pride in their work.

01

Tell us about your project

Fill out a short intake form, system type, scope, your home's character, and location. It takes about three minutes. There's no account to create, no credit card required.

02

We search our verified database

We check the contractor against our Colorado ownership database, built by researching corporate filings, acquisition announcements, and PE portfolio pages. If we can't confirm they're independently owned, they don't make the list.

03

We make a personal introduction

Within 2 business days, we connect you directly with 1 to 2 contractors who are a strong fit for your home and project. You receive their name, background, and contact, not a form-generated lead list.

Why ownership status matters.

The HVAC industry is experiencing a quiet crisis of corporate consolidation. Here's why we built a database around it.

Private equity bought the trades

Over the last decade, financial buyers quietly acquired thousands of local HVAC companies across the US. The old family name stays on the trucks. The experienced technicians get replaced by salespeople on commission.

Google reviews can't tell you who owns what

Corporate rollups maintain five-star ratings by managing reviews aggressively. A company with 4.8 stars could be a PE platform that changed hands three times in four years. Our database tells you what reviews cannot.

Owner-operators do better work

When the owner is the one who shows up, or who trained the technician who does, the incentives align with yours. They want a long-term relationship in your neighborhood, not a commission on an upsell.

What "ownership-verified" means.

Every contractor we recommend has been researched against our Colorado ownership database, corporate filings, PE portfolio pages, acquisition press releases, and community tips. Before we make an introduction, we confirm:

  • The company is not owned by a private equity firm or platform company
  • The company has not undergone a recent acquisition that changed its leadership structure
  • The listed owner is an active operator, not a passive investor
  • The company has no significant corporate parent, even under a different brand name
