About Us


eContractorBids.com was established in 2007, with a mission to solve the typical hassles of finding a reputable local contractor at a competitive price. Meeting several contractors, explaining your project over and over, along with the uncertainty of hiring someone without the proper license or insurance can be risky, time consuming, and expensive.

Our focus is providing “apples to apples” pricing from local pre-screened contractors. We work on your behalf to follow up with contractors and coordinate your project to meet your time-frame, budget, and project goals.

You can post your project on our website and receive competitive estimates from the local pre-screened contractors of your choice. Posting a job is free and you will be provided quotes from the contractors of your choice. Job posters have the ability to compare “apples to apples” quotes and exchange relevant information on their time, with a click of a button. Material orders can also be requested through the website and can be submitted in several ways.

Having been involved in the construction industry for over Twenty-Five years a number of friends, family or neighbors have asked who I might recommend for getting a new home built or a remodeling project completed by a quality and trusted contractor. With eContractorBids.com rating system and on line referrals the task of finding and comparing qualified contractors is made easier.

Today’s consumers use the web to compare pricing, products and contractors in the comfort of their own home.  Qualifications,Insurance and required licences and testimonials are all reveiwable before deciding who they would like to procede with. eContractorBids.com like contracting is a Person to Person business, you will still need to “sell” yourself and services to close the sale. Key differences with eCB is the local support and knowledge we use to find and streamline the contractor and the web connected 21st century customer.

Looking forward to working with you and showing what the internet can do for your business.

Thanks Les Jacobson.   -<a href=”http://rochestermn.econtractorbids.com/contactus.php”>Contact Les</a>
