Fixly Guide reviews contractors before allowing them into our homeowner marketplace. Please make sure your business meets the basic requirements below before submitting an application.
Contractors don't pay to be approved.
Applying and being reviewed are free. You are only charged the $49.99/month DFW Founding Contractor membership after Fixly Guide approves your business and you choose to activate. Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance into the Fixly Guide contractor network.
Carry current general liability insurance
Every contractor applying to Fixly Guide must maintain current general liability insurance that meets Fixly Guide marketplace requirements. Be prepared to provide:
Hold required professional licenses
You must hold all licenses, registrations, permits, or professional credentials required by the State of Texas and applicable local jurisdictions for the work you advertise through Fixly Guide. Requirements vary by trade and jurisdiction — regulated examples include:
Be a legitimate operating business
Fixly Guide must be able to reasonably verify that your company is a real operating business. We may check:
Serve the Dallas–Fort Worth market
The Founding Contractor Program is launching in DFW. Applicants must currently serve at least part of the Dallas–Fort Worth area. You can specify cities, counties, ZIP codes or a service radius.
Accurately represent your services
Contractors may only advertise services they are qualified and legally permitted to perform. Selecting unrelated trades to receive more leads is not allowed.
Maintain professional business practices
Fixly Guide expects contractors to:
Insurance-related projects in Texas
Contractors participating in insurance-related projects must comply with applicable Texas insurance laws and regulations. Fixly Guide may decline or remove contractors who engage in prohibited insurance practices.
This is general marketplace policy information, not legal advice.
Fixly Guide performs a reasonable business-screening process before approving contractor membership. Depending on the trade, available records and information submitted, we may review:
Business identity
Insurance
Licensing (where required)
Service qualifications
Reputation
A single negative review does not disqualify a business. We look for patterns and material concerns.
Online presence
Not having a website does not automatically disqualify a contractor.
Professional conduct
Fixly Guide screening is designed to improve marketplace trust but does not guarantee the quality, safety, workmanship, availability, pricing, or future performance of any contractor. Homeowners should still review contracts, verify project-specific requirements, and make their own hiring decisions.
Make sure you qualify
Review the Fixly Guide contractor requirements before applying. You should have:
Tell us about your business
Submit business identity, services, service area and business operations. Applying is free.
Provide your credentials
Share your general liability insurance details and, where your trade requires it, licensing information. Documents stay private.
We review your business
Our team reviews contractor applications before membership activation. We verify key business information and look for licensing, insurance, identity, service-area and reputation issues that could affect homeowners. No payment is collected during review.
Get approved
If approved, you become eligible to activate a DFW Founding Contractor membership — if founding capacity remains in your primary category.
Activate membership and build your profile
Only now does billing begin at $49.99/month. Then complete your logo, description, services, service area, photos, hours, languages, certifications, financing and credentials.
Become eligible for homeowner projects
Once approved, active, verified and reasonably complete, your business becomes eligible for Fixly Guide project matching. Fixly Guide does not guarantee a specific number of leads or jobs.
Applying is free. You will not be charged unless your business is approved and you choose to activate your membership.
