Who is Oliebids
A marketplace built to take the hassle out of hiring
Oliebids is a marketplace that helps homeowners find the right contractor without the hassle. Post your project once, and verified local contractors compete for your job by submitting their price, timeline, and cost breakdown within 60 hours. You review the top 3 bids and pick your favorite within 7 days. Then, we connect you directly with the contractor through a private chat to finalize the details.
We built Oliebids to make hiring for home projects simple, transparent, and fair for both homeowners and contractors.

Safety & transparency
Trust, with eyes open.
Oliebids is a marketplace, not a vetting service. We make it easy to receive competitive bids and review profiles. You decide who to hire.
Documents reviewed, not guaranteed
Verified contractors uploaded a license, insurance, and photo ID that our team manually reviewed. We do not confirm current standing with licensing agencies or insurers, and free-text profile credentials are self-reported. Confirm details directly before hiring.
Review before hiring
Always review profiles, licensing, insurance, and final terms.
Contact gated by your pick
Phone, email, and address unlock only after the homeowner picks the contractor.
Reports & moderation
Both sides can report abuse; our team moderates disputes.
