SVHN for Remodelers
Kitchens and baths with a real budget attached.
In Silicon Valley the typical house is a 1960s ranch with its original bathroom. SVHN sends remodel requests with where they are in planning, what's in scope, the budget, whether the home is pre-1978, and photos of the space and any plans - to one remodeler at a time.
- No monthly fee · pay only for jobs you accept
- One remodeler at a time, never a shared lead
- Founding pros: first 2 matches free

What it costs
Lead fees for remodelers, by job type
No monthly fee. A small deposit when you accept (it counts toward the total); the balance only when the job closes. Close it within 7 days and the balance is 20% off.

|---|---|---|---|
| Kitchen remodel | Large project | $179 | $695 |
| Bathroom remodel | Install/project | $119 | $395 |
| ADU or addition | Large project | $179 | $695 |

The band can move with the answers (a water heater replacement is bigger than a repair). Emergencies add $10 to the deposit. Your own customers who book through your link are $0.
