For homeowners
Tell us about the job. We'll match you with a local pro — for free.
Rivven is a lead marketplace for home services. Submit a request with a category, your address, and a short description — we route it to up to five vetted providers in your trade and ZIP. They reach out directly; you decide who to hire. No fees, no obligation.
1. What we collect
Six short questions. No account required.
The /request form captures the minimum we need to match you to the right providers — your service category, where the job is, your timeline, your contact info, and a short description. You can answer it in under a minute.
Service category
What's the job?
We match by trade, so you pick the closest category from 11 options — everything from plumbing and HVAC to landscaping and appliance repair.
Plumbing · HVAC & heating / cooling · Roofing · Landscaping · Electrical · Painting · Flooring · Appliance repair · Pest control · General handyman · Other
Location
Where's the job?
Street address, city, two-letter state, and 5-digit ZIP. We use the ZIP to route your request to providers who list that area — and the street address to confirm coverage once a provider claims the lead.
Timeline
How soon?
Pick the urgency that fits your job — providers prioritize by it. Emergencies route first; flexible jobs wait for the right match.

Contact details
How providers reach you
Your name, a 10-digit US phone, and a working email. We share these only with providers who claim your lead — never with anyone else.
Description
A few sentences on the job
Between 10 and 2,000 characters — what's broken, what you'd like done, any photos or access notes (uploaded separately on /request). More useful descriptions get more accurate quotes.
2. Cost
Free for homeowners. Always.
You never pay Rivven to submit a request or to talk with a matched provider. We charge the matched provider, not you — the cost doesn't fall on your end. Read the homeowner bullets below, then read how it works on the provider side.
Free
to submit your request
- No fee to submit a request
- No subscription, no account required to browse
- No obligation to hire any matched provider
- Compare quotes and pick the provider you like — or none
The cost is paid by the provider — a per-lead fee. Learn how it works on the provider side →
3. What happens next
From submitted request to a quote in your hands.
Once you submit, three things happen in sequence — and they don't take long. The confirmation shows up in your inbox almost immediately; the match runs after that; the call or email from a matched provider comes last.
Step 1
We send a confirmation email
As soon as your request clears our basic checks, you get an email confirming it landed in the queue. The email also gives you a quick way to reach us if anything needs amending.
Step 2
We match it to up to five vetted local providers
We look up providers whose trade and coverage area already cover your job — same category, ZIP-coded to your address. The match usually completes within minutes.
Step 3
A matched provider reaches out directly
A provider who claimed your lead contacts you by phone or email with a quote, an ETA, and any clarifying questions — usually within hours, never longer than your stated timeline.
4. Your contact info
Shared with the matched providers — and no one else.
We treat your contact info as a contract, not inventory. The full privacy policy is short — read on.
Your contact info — name, phone, email, and street address — is shared only with up to five matched providers who claim your lead. We do not sell your data, we do not run credit checks, and we do not add you to a marketing list.
Independent providers set their own quotes; you decide whether to hire. Rivven is the matchmaker, not the contractor — we never perform the work, we never invoice you, and we never share your contact info outside the matched provider pool.
