For contractors

A website built for contracting businesses.

Publish a real contractor site with project galleries, license/insurance details, and service areas. List in the local marketplace and get quote requests from homeowners in your area. Free to start.

Lead marketplaces treat contractors like commodities.

  • Lead prices climb with trade, season, and demand.

  • You get a profile in their directory, not a website you own.

  • Your brand, license, and reviews live behind the platform’s paywall.

  • Generic site builders have no concept of licenses, insurance, or service areas.

Built around the contractor’s reality.

01
Real contractor website.
Project galleries, license/insurance display, service areas, and crew info, all built in. Sell materials or fixtures from the same site when the job calls for it.
02
Local marketplace listing.
Show up when homeowners search for contractors by zip code and category.
03
Flat-rate quote requests.
When a homeowner requests quotes, you pay one flat rate, the same price every time.
Why ShopStable

Contractors who own their pipeline.

  • Flat-rate marketplace leads, the same price every time.

  • A real website on your own domain, with a full builder.

  • Your license, reviews, and customer data stay yours.

  • 24/7 email support staffed by the ShopStable team.

The big platforms turned local businesses into line items, renting them visibility and auctioning their leads. We think you should own what you build instead.

That's the whole idea behind ShopStable: a real website on your own subdomain, a marketplace that brings customers to you, and leads from $10. Your brand, with clear, published fees.
