✦ AI-powered from first question to final payment

The smarter way to hire
and get hired

Profylist connects homeowners with the right contractors — through AI-guided intake, anonymous quoting, in-app communication, and built-in payments. One platform for the whole project.

Free for homeowners to find and compare · No account required to start

🤖

AI at every step

AI turns your answers into a professional project brief. For contractors, it drafts quotes and follow-up messages. Both sides communicate faster and clearer.

🔒

Private until you choose

Your contact info is hidden from contractors until you accept their quote. You decide who gets your number — not an algorithm.

💳

Payments built in

Send deposits, milestone payments, and final invoices without leaving the platform. Full payment history attached to each project.

For homeowners

Find contractors — and keep your whole life organized

Start with a project. Stay for the calendar, contacts, and documents. Profylist Pro is a personal organizer built around your home and life — not just a contractor marketplace.

1

AI asks, advises, and estimates

AI asks about type, size, materials, budget, and zip — but also answers your questions. "What's a standard pergola size?" "How much does going from 12×12 to 14×16 add?" You get real answers and a cost estimate before a single contractor sees your project.

2

Pick from rated specialists

Filter by rating (4+), trade, and portfolio photos of similar jobs. See who actually does pergolas — not just general handymen.

3

Get anonymous quotes

Contractors submit quotes without seeing your contact info. You compare on equal footing, no pressure.

4

Accept, connect, and pay

Choose your contractor. Your contact info is revealed only to them. Manage the job, send payments, and store documents — all in one place.

AI expert during intake

What's a standard size for a pergola?
Most backyard pergolas are 10×10 to 14×20 ft. A 12×16 is the most popular — fits a dining set comfortably and works with standard lumber lengths, which keeps costs down.
How much more does 14×18 cost vs 12×16?
Roughly $900–$1,400 more for cedar — the extra footings and longer beams add up. If budget is a factor, 12×16 gives you the most space per dollar.
