Trusted Tradesman
Ireland's trusted platform connecting homeowners with verified local tradespeople.. Trusted Tradesman is a two-sided marketplace that helps Irish homeowners find reliable, verified tradespeople for their home improvement projects. The platform features real Google Reviews integration, a job board system, real-time messaging, and a subscription model that gives tradespeople a 6-month free trial before a €20/month fee.
The Challenge
Irish homeowners faced significant challenges finding trustworthy tradespeople, while skilled professionals struggled to connect with local customers efficiently.
Trust & Verification Gap
Homeowners struggled to find reliable tradespeople, often relying on word-of-mouth with no way to verify credentials or see genuine customer reviews.
Fragmented Communication
Both parties juggled phone calls, texts, and emails to coordinate quotes, leading to missed opportunities and frustration.
No Central Job Marketplace
Tradespeople had no efficient way to find local work, while homeowners had to contact businesses one by one hoping for responses.
The Solution
We built a full-stack web application using React, FastAPI, and MongoDB that creates a seamless connection between homeowners and tradespeople. The platform pulls real Google Business reviews to establish trust, provides a structured quote request system, and includes a job board where tradespeople can proactively find work. The mobile-responsive design ensures both parties can manage everything from their phones, while the admin panel gives the client full control over user management, content, and platform moderation.
Google Business Integration
Tradespeople connect their Google Business Profile to display verified reviews, ratings, and business information—building instant credibility with potential customers.
Two-Way Quote System
Homeowners can request quotes directly from tradespeople OR post jobs to the public board. Tradespeople submit priced quotes that homeowners can accept or decline with one click.
Real-Time Messaging
Built-in chat system allows homeowners and tradespeople to communicate instantly, share photos, and coordinate project details without leaving the platform.
SEO-Optimized Blog & Directory
32 locally-focused blog posts drive organic traffic, while the searchable directory with filters (trade type, location, rating) helps homeowners find the right professional fast.
