Flooring installation
September 2026

This was a big project, and I am so thankful I used Nestimates. Everything took two and a half weeks from start to finish. First, the process to get the project posted was super cool. We took a video of the entire house, about 3,000 sq ft, and answered the necessary questions. We also added pictures of the flooring we needed. The contractor purchased the flooring and had it delivered. We also had demo and prep work to do. There was one issue that wasn’t anyone’s fault, but they found water damage in the bathroom next to the shower. Fixing and leveling the ground was not included in the original price because the ground was slightly damaged. I did really appreciate the transparency. We had to do a change order for an extra $450 to level the ground properly, which I thought was more than fair. They really knew what they were doing. Will be doing more projects after the holidays!

Thank you, Linda. A whole house floor is a big post, and the video walkthrough is exactly what lets contractors price it accurately. We’re glad the water damage was handled as a written change order, up front, before the work continued. That is how it should go. See you after the holidays.

Electrical panel replacement
September 2026

Got an EV and needed a bigger electrical panel to support the charging. I found Nestimates by accident and decided to try them. I actually tried the mobile app. It is incredible how I can do a project from start to finish from my phone. I saved a good amount of money, and finding this platform will make my life so much easier in the future. Win, win.

Response from Nestimates

Thanks, Jason. Panel upgrades for EV charging are one of the most common projects we see, and doing the whole thing from your phone is the point. Enjoy the new charger.

Drywall repair
August 2026

Our hot water heater leaked and damaged the drywall, which needed to be replaced. This was my second time using Nestimates. I used to panic and not know where to start when it came to fixing things around the house. Now, when home problems show up, I post the project with pictures and videos. The second experience was even better than the first since I am familiar with the process. I cannot say enough nice things about the company that came out. They completed the job in two days and everything came out very nice. My garage looks even better than before.

Thank you, Gabi. Posting with photos and video the moment a problem shows up is the right instinct, and it’s great to hear the second project felt easier than the first. We’ll pass your words along to the contractor.

AC and heat pump replacement
July 2026

Nestimates is a complete game changer. Uploaded the serial number and pictures of my old AC unit and heat pump. Received bids back for the system and installation. I trust them because they make the process fair, where contractors do not see your name or address. If you are not using Nestimates, you are doing yourself a disservice my friend.

Mike L.
Fountain Hills, AZ. Submitted to Nestimates after project completion.
Response from Nestimates

Thanks, Mike. The serial number and photos of the old unit are exactly what a contractor needs to bid a replacement without a visit. Keeping your name and address out of the bidding is a rule, not a feature, and we’re glad it mattered to you.

★★★★★
Roof replacement
July 2026

I got a roof quote from a company in the valley but I did not feel comfortable going with them after being pressured to make a decision on the stop. The sales person dropped the price twice from $15,800 to $14,000 and then to $13,500. The bids from Nestimates came back with the same materials and project details. I did not choose the lowest bids because the warranty and information provided were not as thorough. The licensed contractor that we choose was priced farily and provided the complete process explanation and a good warranty. We ended up saving over $4,000. The only problem we have was that the trash dumpster was not picked up for 3 days after the project was completed but honestly it wasn’t that much of an inconvenience.

Larry N.

Response from Nestimates

Thank you, Larry, for the detail. Choosing on warranty and thoroughness rather than the lowest number is the comparison working as intended. We’re sorry the dumpster sat for three days after completion. We’ve shared that with the contractor, and cleanup timing is part of what we ask every homeowner to rate.

Water softener and reverse osmosis
June 2026

The water softener is 100% my favorite update we’ve done to this home since moving in. Nestimates made the structured posting and side by side comparison for bids so easy. We got a water softener and reverse osmosis. The company that installed it provided great service and a smooth installation. The 10 year warranty gave us peace of mind. My husband and I try to budget one home project per year, but it was so easy and seamless that we’re thinking of doing another before the end of the year.

Rachel W.
Gilbert, AZ. Submitted to Nestimates after project completion.
Response from Nestimates

Thank you, Rachel. Softener plus reverse osmosis is a great pairing, and a ten year warranty is worth the peace of mind. Whenever the next project comes, it’ll be waiting for you.

Outlets and switches replacement
May 2026

We found out about Nestimates from a Facebook ad and liked the ability to get bids without having to call around. We are first-time home buyers and this is the third project we did. We replaced all of our outlets and switches because the home is old. We also modernized the switch covers which look so much better. It was 32 outlets and 18 light switches. Amazing experience and we will be using this every time now! Thank you Nestimates.

Olivia

Response from Nestimates

Thank you, Olivia. Thirty two outlets and eighteen switches is a real project, and counting them in the post is what got you clean bids. Congratulations on the home, and welcome back anytime.

Exterior painting
March 2026

Second time going through Nestimates. I absolutely love that they vet and ensure contractors are licensed and insured. I don’t want to worry about the due diligence. My HOA said that my house paint was fading, so I had to get this project done. I hate the old way of calling, scheduling, and having strangers at my home because I am not as young and energetic as I once was. So I like that I can take pictures and explain what I need done once and not repeat myself to everyone I need a bid from. I saved $950 compared to my neighbor who painted hers last month. She said she lost count how many people came by for a quote. In my opinion, we sometimes get charged more for being in a nice area. I like the virtual process much better.

Florence R.

Response from Nestimates

Thank you, Florence. Every contractor on Nestimates is screened for license and insurance before they can bid, so that due diligence is done before you post. Explaining the project once and never hosting a stranger for a quote is exactly what we built this for.

Ceiling fan replacement
March 2026

Called two companies and they both wanted to come out to quote a price. I work from 9-5 and I don’t have time to schedule an electrician to come out. My wife wanted to try Nestimates, so we posted a project to replace three ceiling fans. Within two days, we saw five bids come in. Reviewed the bids at 10 PM and approved one of them. The work was done the following Saturday. My favorite thing is that I can do home projects on my own time now.

Jeff B.

Response from Nestimates

Thanks, Jeff. Five bids in two days, approved at 10 PM, done Saturday. That is the whole idea. Tell your wife she was right.

Garbage disposal replacement
February 2026

Well, that was easy. Snapped a few pictures and did a video walkthrough. Got a replacement for a newer model of the same garbage disposal that we had. Love that the process is so simple that really anyone could do it. This is the future.

Gary

Response from Nestimates

Thank you, Gary. Small jobs deserve the same clean process as big ones. Glad it was easy.

★★★★★
Water heater replacement
February 2026

I like Nestimates because of a simple reason. They make sure the contractor only gets paid when the work is complete. Mom of two and when an 11 year old hot water heater gives you lukewarm water, you have to fix it. Big thanks to the Concierge Support Team. I had questions, but they were on top of them immediately. Just some advice, the better pictures, video, and description you give, the better the outcome. The contractor wasn’t able to hear the audio on my video, but I’m not sure if that was my phone or the system itself. This phone sometimes heats up as hot as the water used to be haha. Anyway, back up and running!

Ashley

Response from Nestimates

Thank you, Ashley, and thank you for the advice on photos and video. It is the single best thing a homeowner can do for their bids. On the video audio, we’d like to look at that with you so it doesn’t happen on your next post. Concierge Support will reach out. Glad the hot water is back.

★★★★★
Pressure reducing valve replacement
January 2026

Look, I’ve been burned before. I did other plumbing projects, and I admit I cut corners in the past, but a lot of the time I had to pay more to get the issue fixed when something went wrong again. I don’t hire handymen or unlicensed tradesmen anymore. The pressure regulator was replaced professionally, and I recommend this company to anyone. Smooth and simple process.

Response from Nestimates

Thank you, Aaron. Licensed and insured is the floor for every contractor on Nestimates, not a filter you have to apply. Glad this one was done right the first time.

★★★★★
Gate replacement
January 2025

Needed quotes for licensed welding company to replace my entry gate. It was an easy process. Work got done quickly and I am happy with the system. Nothing I would change. More people should try it.

Lydia
Scottsdale, AZ. Submitted to Nestimates after project completion.
Response from Nestimates

Thank you, Lydia. A welded entry gate is a good example of a project people don’t realize they can bid out virtually. Glad it was quick.

Post it once. Let the bids come to you.
