Homeowners and industry professionals looking to hire contracted construction work have a new local resource available to them: Jobtrio.com.
The Santa Barbara-based website allows users to search a database of more than 250,000 statewide contractors. Results can be sorted by union and non-union labor, and individual cell phone numbers are available for specific employees.
Contractors can set up a personal profile to advertise on Jobtrio for $15 or $20, while consumers can browse the profiles for free.
“Our goal was to create a very low-cost advertising tool for contractors and a great free resource for home owners and project managers,” the website’s CEO Brett Vernon said in a press release.
