Are Chicago pros on ProBids verified?

Every pro on ProBids goes through identity, license, and insurance verification before they can bid. We display their license number, service area, years in business, and customer reviews so you can hire with confidence. Chicago-area pros must also confirm they actively serve your zipcode before bidding.

What if no pros bid on my project in Chicago?

Most projects in Chicago, IL get multiple bids within hours. If yours doesn't, the most common reasons are: too narrow a service area (try expanding zipcodes), too vague a project description (add details and photos), or off-hours posting. Our team reaches out to nearby Chicago pros directly when a project is sitting unanswered.
