I've never heard of these, which is part of the benefit of YC I guess. What that said, none of them seem to offer what BuildZoom does which is a list of all the contractors in my area sorted by reputation. Even if their reputation metrics are questionable at this point, at least they are making an attempt at it.

I just contacted a painter through buildzoom. Let's see how it works out. Contractors in my area (Tahoe) are notoriously hard to track down.

Tahoe has been a little tricky. You need a contractor who is regulated in CA however a lot of the contractors near Tahoe are licensed in Nevada (although a number are licensed in both states).

One of our advisors has a house up there and we've been working with him to create a better experience in that region. If you want to let us know a bit more about your project, I'll make sure we get a great contractor out.
