What you get

More than a listing.

A directory alone exists everywhere. The value here is a trusted local network: people who meet, learn and refer through the rooms, under house rules everyone signs.

A place in the local network

Listed by trade and by the ZIPs you serve, on the village pages homeowners in your area actually use.

A hosted profile page

A well-built page about you, hosted by Pure Expertz for the first 3 months. Your directory listing continues while you're a member.

Introductions through the rooms

Homeowners ask in Open Office Hours and a person introduces them to providers who serve their ZIP. Not a lead list.

Tuesday 3 PM Provider Hour

Build your profile with us, and meet the other pros in your area. Starts Tue Oct 20, 2026.

Workshops

Practical AI and business-system workshops for owners who would rather be on the job than on the laptop.

The Alliance framework

The Block by Block AI Safety and Security Alliance is a voluntary framework for responsible AI in safety and security: free to join, built on three laws (legal, ethical, moral). It certifies no one.

Marketing services for providers

Social media, video and media production.

Social media, video and media production are done in collaboration with Total TV, a non-competing marketing partner. Providers can start at $47/month; ask about a promotion package in Open Office Hours.

Pure Expertz and Total TV are independent companies.

Join the conversation

Come talk with us.

Homeowners, renters, seniors and their families, and local service pros all start in the same place: Open Office Hours. Bring a real question. Camera off is fine.

Who it's for

Good stewards of good businesses.

Small, real, local businesses that show up, do the work right, and want to be known for it.

Contractors & licensed trades

Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, remodeling. Bring your license and insurance.

Handymen

If the neighborhood apps know you as "the handyman," that's enough to start.

Accessibility & home modification

Ramps, grab bars, railings, walk-in showers, wider doorways.

Home care agencies

Non-medical in-home support: companionship, errands, meals, light housekeeping.

Insurance agents

Home, auto and umbrella coverage questions homeowners bring to the room.

Accountants & bookkeepers

Household paperwork, tax prep, small-business books.

One membership, two names. Trusted Service Provider (home-service companies) / Total Smart Pro (creators, marketers, influencers): same $47/month. One checkout. Questions? Ask in Office Hours.

Real estate brokers: brokers host village pages rather than list in the directory. See the host slot on any village page.

How listing works

We show the steps. We don't hand out badges.

Draft terms: final terms are shown before you pay.

A profile says what we actually checked and when, in plain words. Nothing more.

  1. Month 1 · Profile

    Join, sign the Provider Pledge, and acknowledge the Alliance framework. We draft your hosted profile together. It stays unlisted while it's in review.

  2. Month 2 · Verification

    Identity and registered-business verification. Where your trade requires a license or insurance, you show it and we record what we saw and the date.

  3. Listed

    Your profile goes live with "Identity & business verified" and the month. A verification step, not an endorsement. If you don't pass, we cancel and refund that month.

  4. Ongoing

    License and insurance dates re-checked each year. Homeowner concerns are read by a person. Providers who break the Pledge come off the list.

Open Office Hours & workshops

Where the network meets.

Every room is its own event. Come to the open ones as a guest; the Provider Hour is where members build.

The Provider Pledge

  1. I run my business in ways that are legal, ethical and moral.
  2. I hold the license or registration my work requires, and the insurance a homeowner should expect.
  3. I am willing to be known, checked and held to my word.
  4. I give written estimates, and I tell people when a job is outside what I do.
  5. I protect my clients' privacy. What I see in a home stays there, and a client's contact details are for their job only.

A statement of shared values. Not a guarantee, a warranty or a contract.

Safety & privacy

House rules for the network.

Draft terms: final terms are shown before you pay.

For homeowners

  • People make the introductions. You make the decisions.
  • Get a written estimate. Be careful about paying large amounts up front.
  • Check licenses and insurance yourself too. Profiles show what we saw and when.
  • Tell us about a problem. A person reads every concern.

For providers

  • A homeowner's contact details are for that job only. Never resold, never added to a list without consent.
  • No pressure tactics. Written estimates.
  • Keep your license and insurance current, and tell us when they change.
  • Medical decisions stay with families and their doctors. Home care agencies in the network list non-medical services only.

Apply

Tell us about your business.

Start simple. If you describe yourself as "handyman," that's fine. We'll build the profile with you in month one.

  • Your street address is for verification and is never shown publicly.
  • Don't send license or insurance documents yet. We'll ask during verification.
  • Questions first? Come to Open Office Hours or the Tuesday 3 PM Provider Hour.

Provider application

Trusted Service Provider (home-service companies) / Total Smart Pro (creators, marketers, influencers): same $47/month. Applying is free; sending this doesn't charge you. Cancel any time.

How may we contact you? Two separate choices. Both are optional, and neither is a condition of membership.

Sending an application doesn't charge you. A person replies with next steps; the $47/month membership checkout is on this page when you're ready. Don't send license or insurance documents yet. By sending you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Straight answers

Questions people ask.

Is this pay-per-lead?

No. It is a flat monthly membership. Introductions happen through people in the rooms, and nobody can promise you a number of jobs.

Trusted Service Provider or Total Smart Pro?

The same membership with two names, both $47/month and one checkout. Home-service companies call it Trusted Service Provider. Creators, marketers and influencers call it Total Smart Pro.

When does my profile go public?

After month-two verification, when it shows "Identity & business verified" and the month. Until then it is a hosted draft you can share yourself.

Do you build my website?

Not as part of the membership. The membership is the listing service: your place in the network, a hosted profile page for the first 3 months, introductions through the rooms and the Provider Hour. Add-on: your own website, front end and back end, $297/month. Ask in Office Hours.

What if I only do small jobs and have no license?

Many handyman jobs don't need one. We list the scope you actually do, and we'll tell you if a job type needs a license in your village.

What happens after the 3 hosted months?

Your directory listing continues while you're a member. If you want a full website of your own, ask about the website add-on in Office Hours.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time, by emailing support@pureexpertz.com. Cancellation stops your next charge.
