CalFinder is like internet dating for people who want to dive into a home project knowing that their contractor has a good reputation and the right qualifications.

Oakland, CA (PRWEB) January 14, 2010

CalFinder Remodeling is seeing a 12% increase in homeowners searching for contractors.

The conditions are ripe for a renovation boom. Existing home sales for November reached 6.25 million units, up from 6.10 million in October. Mortgage rates are also at historic lows, encouraging more buyers to get off the fence. The Obama administration is pushing banks to ease up on lending. Homeowners who have been holding back on renovation projects during the recession are now ready to move forward. And they don't want to waste time vetting dozens of contractors to find the right ones for their job.

CalFinder is a national online review source containing contractor information and robust reviews. The service matches certified construction specialists with homeowners ready to install a bathroom or remodel an entire home.
