Meet BuildZoom – A company that’s making it easier to find contractors in DC

The Washington, DC real estate market is hot.  Unlike most of the country, DC is seeing yearly gains in home values upwards of 9%!  With this, many homeowners plan to fancy-up their residence with some seasonal renovations and upgrades.

So, you asked us, “How do we find reliable, honest DC contractors?”  Let me welcome you to BuildZoom, a new up-start that features information and customer reviews on over 1.5 million remodeling and construction businesses.

BuildZoom’s technology collects information from over fifty public and private databases throughout the United States.  Using a proprietary algorithm, BuildZoom analyzes this information alongside consumer feedback and information provided by the businesses themselves, to establish the industry’s only truly objective, automated system for ranking and rating remodeling and construction businesses.

BuildZoom enables the client to quickly research vendors in their area while instantly viewing detailed information as to the contractor’s license status, Better Business Bureau rating and customer reviews.

It’s a definite time saver during the contractor research process.  Give it a try @ http://www.BuildZoom.com

• What is BuildZoom? With information on over 1.5 million remodeling and construction businesses, BuildZoom is the largest and most authoritative repository of information on the home improvement services industry in the United States.




• How is BuildZoom different than any of the other directories out there? Well, unlike Angie’s List, BuildZoom is completely free for consumers (as well as algorithmically driven).  Unlike Service Magic, consumers aren’t forced to choose from a limited set of options (three contractors who are paying Service Magic to provide them with the consumer’s information) – they get to choose from everyone, which ensures that they will have the best opportunity to find the best service provider.




• How does BuildZoom make money? BuildZoom allows businesses to “claim” their profile and provides them with access to a suite of marketing tools.  Although businesses can claim their profile for free, they can purchase premium memberships to A. Increase their regional and industry-based reach, B. Create visually enhanced profiles that have been proven to convert prospects at a higher rate, and C. Have a dedicated marketing consultant help them gain increased visibility in search through a combination of SEO and PR tactics.
