great home improvement professionals. The other goal is to make
advertising more affordable to all companies, whether big or
small, to help them find new work and to help them grow.

Are you a hosting site?
We are not a hosting site. We are a service based website.
We have 10 different service categories from Carpenters to Roofers.
Each company listed with us has their name in one of our service directories. |

Why should I list my company with you?
By listing your company on Rate My Carpenter.com, you get a lot more than with conventional
methods of advertising. Each company has their own page, which contains
a company profile, photos of their work and reviews from past customers.
We are a Boston based company and advertise locally, where your customers are,
and where other websites cannot.

How much does it cost?
Each company pays an annual fee of $700. Call 617-795-7288 for special offers
