CHICAGO - April 9, 2013 - PRLog -- BidABuilder.com - April 9th, 2013 - JUNO BEACH, FLA. ─ Home Improvement service BidABuilder.com, the nation's fastest-growing network of third-party certified builders and contractors, has introduced its revolutionary professional interface for the Illinois market and greater Chicago area.

The expansion of the home improvement, renovation and remodeling service is the latest wave of development stemming from the company’s major growth strategy that includes expanding into new markets and increasing BidABuilder.com’s customer base in established markets such as San Francisco, Richmond, Va.; Miami, West Palm Beach, Fla.; Tampa, Fla.; Orlando, Fla.; Jacksonville, Fla.; and Atlanta, GA.

“This year represents tremendous growth and investment for the BidABuilder.com network, which stands out by virtue of its accessibility, affordability and the fact that each of our contractors must pass a strict screening process.” explains Dennis Cunningham, CEO and founder of BidABuilder.com as well as AutoEquityMarket.com, MatchADoctor.com and Equity Funding Mortgage.

Since its inception in March 2008, more than $300 million in projects have been posted to BidABuilder.com, providing consumers with a revolutionary platform to securely post their remodeling, renovation or home improvement projects using an easy-to-use online system. It's free for home owners to create a home building project and BidABuilder.com boasts an exceptional project completion rate of about 67 percent, well above that of its competitors, notes Cunningham.  “Competitors are reporting just a fraction of that percentage.”

BidABuilder.com's network is made up of more than 20,000 contractors who must meet minimum state requirements and submit to an instant multi-state criminal background check.

BidABuilder.com's competitors, who do not meet BidABuilder.com's vetting standards, may require homeowners to pay a fee and they rely heavily on consumer-generated content. BidABuilder.com’s unique network allows homeowners to post projects ranging from basic home improvement jobs to remodeling work and even emergency repairs and maintenance. Large scale construction projects like additions and even a entire new house project can be accommodated inside the BidABuilder system. It's Safe, Easy and absolutely FREE for homeowners to create and store all of the home-projects in the BidABuilder.com website.

“We love the Chicago area and see ourselves as a your trusted ally ─ the ultimate concierge,” adds Cunningham.  “Our No. 1 concern has always been to provide the consumer with every possible protection,” notes Cunningham.  “We know everyone is concerned about spending money in today’s economy, so we want every homeowner to get the best possible work from the most qualified home improvement contractor for the best price. We welcome Chicago's home market and look forward to assisting the growth of jobs, remodeling work and construction projects in the area."

Marketing Campaign Generates Home Improvement Projects for Contractor Bidding

“From the start, BidABuilder.com has been an instant hit with consumers and contractors,” reports Cunningham. “The State of Florida was our test bed and was warmly received with TV news coverage and an outpouring of support from both homeowners and contractors alike.”

Celebrity endorsements, including CNN anchor Lou Dobbs and TV/radio personality Glenn Beck, have served as an integral part of the company's home improvement brand-building efforts.

In the Chicago market, BidABuilder.com is now running radio advertising campaigns through local Clear Channel stations to best target potential customers and continue to roll out the BidABuilder.com brand.
