Contractor Connector
PASource.com Contractor Connector links Contractors to Clients wishing to receive home improvement estimates, personal information on both the Client and the Contractor are gathered and compared to generate a match. No personal information is exchanged or displayed until a Contractor commits to contacting the Client to provide an estimate. When a Contractor commits to contacting the Client, the Client's contact information is displayed to the Contractor at the same time the Contractor's contact information is Emailed to the Client.

With this model in place, Clients are fully aware of who has committed to contacting them, and nobody is able to gather information for purposes outside the scope of the PASource.com service.

Both Clients and Contractors are able to view and maintain their contact information at any time. For the Client, a username and password are generated during the submission of a Request for Estimate (RFE). For the Contractor, signing-up for the PASource.com service will establish a username and password for their account. Usernames and passwords are Emailed at the time of account creation and are the only method used to view and modify personal information. Since this information is generated and maintained by the Clients and Contractors, PASource.com and Lasich Internet Design does not guarantee the accuracy of any information listed on file.

Contractors who commit to contacting a client, will require payment through PayPal. This must be setup before any exchange of Client information can take place. In other words, a Contractor can not commit to making contact until payment is processed through PayPal.

The Client is responsible for checking the experience, references, licensing, bonding, insurance, etc. of any Contractor before hiring them. The Client shall not rely solely on the information or Client generated Contractor ratings provided on PASource.com.
