Tired of the contractor guessing game? Discover the process that’s bringing transparency—and sanity—to homeowners in Chesterfield, Town and Country, Ballwin, and beyond.
If you’ve ever gotten multiple quotes for a roof, a deck, or a major renovation, you know the drill: a parade of contractors, each with a different number and a different sales pitch. One quote feels suspiciously low. Another is staggeringly high. A third salesperson is pressuring you to sign today to “lock in the price.”
You’re left confused, stressed, and wondering: What is this project actually supposed to cost?
You’re not getting a fair market price. You’re getting a test of your negotiation skills and your tolerance for pressure. It’s a broken system.
At FREEthR, we didn’t try to fix this system. We built a new one from the ground up. Our blind, competitive bidding process is your shield against overpaying and high-pressure sales tactics. Here’s how it works, and why it’s a game-changer for homeowners across Missouri.
The Old Way: A Recipe for Stress and Uncertainty
The traditional bidding process is stacked against you.
The “Zip Code Premium”:
In desirable areas like Town and Country or Chesterfield, some contractors see your address and add a premium before they even see the project.
The Sales Dance:
Contractors tailor their pitch and price based on how they “read” you, not just the scope of work. It’s not a bid; it’s a negotiation where you have little information.
Impossible Comparisons:
One quote includes premium materials, another uses builder-grade. One has a 5-year warranty, another just one. Comparing them is like comparing apples to oranges.
The FREEthR Way: Clarity, Competition, and Control
We turn that stressful circus into a simple, fair, and transparent process.
You Share Your Project, Not Your Privacy.
You give us the details—photos, measurements, your vision. We never share your personal contact information with contractors during the bid phase. Your peace is protected from the start.
We Send It to Our Pre-Vetted Network.
We send your project specifications to 3-5 licensed, insured, and highly-rated local contractors who specialize in your type of work.
Contractors Submit “Blind” Bids.
This is the key. Each contractor submits their best, all-inclusive price without knowing who else is bidding or what they’ve quoted. They only see the project specs, not their competition. This eliminates collusion and forces every contractor to lead with their sharpest, fairest price on the same scope of work.
You Receive Transparent, Comparable Quotes.
We present the bids to you in a clear, side-by-side format. You’ll see the total price, the materials specified, the timeline, and the warranty—all in black and white. The guesswork is eliminated.
You Choose with Confidence, Not Pressure.
With all the information in front of you, you can make a decision based on true value: the combination of price, reputation, and terms that’s right for you. There’s no salesman in your living room waiting for an answer.
Real Savings, Real Sanity: A Wentzville Example
Recently, a homeowner in Wentzville came to us with a single bid for a roof and gutter replacement. It felt high. Using our process, we gathered multiple blind bids for the exact same grade of materials and scope.
The result? A bid spread of over $10,000. The homeowner chose a top-rated, local contractor—saving nearly $8,000 from the original quote and gaining complete confidence in their choice. They didn’t get a cheaper roof; they got a fair price for a quality roof.
Why This Matters for Your Neighborhood
Whether you’re in Ballwin planning a kitchen update or in Chesterfield needing a new fence, the principle is the same: you deserve a fair market price and a dignified process.
For Town and Country & Chesterfield Homeowners:
It ensures you’re paying for the quality of the work, not just the prestige of your zip
For Every Missouri Homeowner:
It transforms one of life’s most stressful projects into an empowered, informed decision.
You don’t have to be a negotiation expert to get a fair deal. You just need a better process.
