HomeStars: Home Services Review & Referral Platform

HomeStars is a home services review and referral platform for homeowners. It allows users to read and write reviews of contractors, handymen, and other home service professionals to help others find reliable providers.

What is HomeStars?

HomeStars is an online home services review and referral platform designed to help homeowners find reliable and high-quality contractors, handymen, and other home service professionals. Founded in 2009 and based in Toronto, Canada, HomeStars aims to bring transparency to the home services industry.

On the HomeStars platform, homeowners can read reviews and ratings of local service professionals written by other homeowners who have used their services. Categories of professionals reviewed on HomeStars include plumbers, electricians, carpenters, landscapers, HVAC technicians, roofers, painters, kitchen remodelers, and more. Homeowners can search for providers based on the type of service needed and location, and view profiles displaying credentials, years in business, photos of past work, and excerpts from customer reviews.

In addition to reading reviews, homeowners can also write reviews of contractors they have hired so as to 'pay it forward' and help future homeowners make hiring decisions. Reviews detail factors such as quality of work, timeliness, communication, cleanliness, and overall value.

For service professionals, a listing on HomeStars offers the opportunity to build their reputation and expand their customer base by showcasing positive feedback and references from past customers. Professionals can also interact with prospective customers by responding publicly to reviews.

By facilitating honest reviews and ratings rooted in real homeowner experiences, HomeStars aims to bring more accountability, transparency and consistency to the home services industry.
