CHICO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 14, 2014 / By offering integrated services, it's easy to find the right products and the right professional for the job.
Builld.com, a company offering home improvement products, has partnered with Pro.com, a nationwide pricing engine and pro-finder for home projects, to introduce a new, smarter way to get home projects done. By integrating the Pro.com pricing engine, Build.com visitors can now calculate costs of installation or repair with local market estimates of the labor involved in the project.
Pro.com provides a real-time estimate - a Pre-estimate, for just about any home project. Pro.com recommends home service professionals based on over a dozen specific attributes including proximity to customer, expertise, and ratings. Pro.com matches the service professionals on the site to the specific job submitted by each customer.
Headquartered in California, Build.com offers an extensive range of plumbing, lighting, and hardware products. With the Pro.com free estimate service, Build.com customers will have a better idea of the total costs involved for a specific home improvement project. The customer simply enters their home project punch-list into the easy-to-use widget on Build.com to receive an accurate free estimate.
"Build.com is always looking for ways to improve the customer experience," said Christian Friedland, Founder and President of Build.com. "With our Pro.com partnership we offer an integrated experience for customers to plan their home improvement projects with confidence. This ensures product selection and a reliable job cost estimate will keep them on time and on budget."
