Navigating a home project can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to finding the right professionals to trust with your vision. That’s why I’m excited to introduce the Homeowner HQ Professional Directory—a curated resource designed to connect homeowners with vetted, reliable professionals who share a commitment to excellence.

Why This Directory Is Different

The Homeowner HQ Directory isn’t just another list of names. It’s a thoughtfully crafted tool with quality and trust at its core. Unlike open directories where anyone can sign up, professionals in this directory must apply, meet specific criteria, and undergo a review process before being listed. This ensures that every professional included has the skills, experience, and reputation to deliver exceptional results.

In the future, we’re enhancing this further by introducing a review process that factors in feedback from homeowners who have worked with these professionals. This means the directory will grow into a resource built on transparency and real-world experiences—an invaluable tool for your home project.

How to Use the Directory

From a homeowner’s perspective, the directory is designed to make finding your team simple and stress-free:

1. Search and Explore: Browse professionals by location or specialty—whether you’re looking for an architect, contractor, interior designer, or landscaper.

2. Sign-up to unlock features: Sign-up for free by clicking the 'Sign-In' button at the top right. From there you can click the "New Here? Sign-Up Here" below the sign-in area. Fill in your info. and then check-out what's changed…
   
   

   

   
   

3. Save Your Favourites: When you sign up for free or as a Home Hub member, notice anything different? A heart appears at the top of each professional directory profile and each field note. You can save professionals and field notes to your 'saved' for quick access later. This feature helps you stay organized and keep your top choices and advice within reach. To access them, visit the heart at the top right on the navigation bar.
