Here is how it works…
Unlike our competitors, eContractorBids.com is not just a name and phone number lead generator. Our focus is providing consumer’s with one reputable network of local contractors to get pricing for their project from professional contractors. Integrity is our number #1 priority. We work on your behalf to close jobs, promote your business, provide industry information, updates, and online solutions that can increase the efficiency of your business.
Together we build your business a 4-page company profile/website that’s optimized on Google, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, and many other popular search engines to provide your business a competitive online presence at an affordable cost. Your profile contains important information about your business, including a company overview, areas of expertise, license and insurance information, testimonials, ratings, pictures, and more!
One of the big differences with eContractorBids.com is that consumers select the individual contractors they want to be contacted by and send their job specifications to. So you’ll only be contacted by customer’s specifically looking for you. Members can view detailed job specifications through a customized bid chart that provides contractors with detailed information about the job.
When you find a “good fit” job contact the customer and clarify any details that haven’t been provided and when you’re ready simply submit your bid online and click “send”. The customer will be sent a detailed bid including your price, start and finish notes, bid terms and conditions, options and suggestions, payment specifications, contractor notes, and upload files and/or pictures. Your complete bid and company profile will then be sent to the customer for their acceptance.
eContractorBids.com follows up with each customer and provides feedback on each bid you submit. When your bid is accepted, you will receive an email and phone call notification and meet the customer in person to sign contracts.
Our network also has a business to business aspect that provides valuable efficiencies between general contracts, tradesmen, and suppliers. All member to member transactions come with significant discounts and can help increase the profitability of your business.

Our Local DFW Team
For more than 30 years I have been servicing the contractor community through positions within the Equipment and Tool supply outlets, including Grace Equipment, Prime Equipment, NationsRent, and Sunbelt Equipment. Countless times I’ve been asked by consumers, “Who can I find to do …” or “Can you recommend a Quality Contractor to help with…” If I had a relationship with a contractor I trusted, I would refer them, but with eContractorBids.com we’ve taken referrals to a new level. The Next Generation of customers Expects to be able to use the web to compare contractors, review their qualifications, see what other customer say about them, and choose who they want to take the next step with in the contracting process. One of the Key Differences with eCB is local support; we are here in DFW and stand ready to address any issues, local training, and service support you may require. Contracting is a Person to Person business, you will still need to “sell” yourself and your company to close the job, eContractorBids will help streamline the connection to the 21st century customer. From Denton, McKinney & Plano through Irving, Hurst, Bedford & Arlington, on out to Burleson & Weatherford, in the Metroplex, we will strive to connect Consumer’s with Jobs to Best contractors available.
