Nearby sends your business real home-service requests from your area (roofing, plumbing, HVAC, remodeling, and more) with the job and the timing already dialed in. Each lead shows its price before you decide whether to take it. And if you can’t reach the customer by phone within three days, your credit comes right back.

Sample leads. Real ones arrive the same way.
Enter your ZIP to see requests from the last 30 days.
You quote a job, not a mystery call.
In a guided two-minute request, they describe the problem, when they want it done, and what they expect to spend. If the budget looks unrealistic for the job, we tell them so.
Trade, distance, and Google reviews decide who sees the request, not who paid for the click. No bidding, no auction.
Every lead shows its price up front. Take the ones you want and pass on the rest; you only pay for leads you could work. Up to three pros can take each lead, so you’ll be one of up to three the homeowner hears from.
Call from any phone through your Nearby line* — a local number that the homeowner can call back. If you can’t reach them within three days of taking the lead, you get your credit back.
* Nearby line calls are recorded, and both you and the homeowner are told this at the start of every call. Recordings help us resolve any question about whether a lead was what we said.
You pay when you take a lead, and the price is set by the kind of job and where it is: a roof replacement lead costs more than a gutter cleaning, and prices vary by area. You see the price before you decide, and nothing else is ever charged, with no subscription and no ad budget.
Each lead goes only to pros in that trade who serve that area, and up to three can take it. So, you’re competing with at most two other local pros, not a crowd.
Call the homeowner from any phone through your private Nearby line within three days of taking the lead. If you can’t reach them, the lead is on us, with full credit back.
Every new business starts with $200 in free lead credit. You don’t need a payment method to get started, only proof that you’re a registered business, which we verify. When you’re ready for more, choose from the payment methods available at checkout.
Every request we send you starts with a homeowner in your area who told us what they need done and how to reach them. Not a purchased list. Not a bot. Not a form scraped off a coupon site.

In the world of roofing, few stories are as deeply rooted in family tradition as that of ROOF BOSS. What began as summer work for a young boy working alongside his father and brothers has transformed into a cornerstone of the SeaTac community.
