HeyPros Frequently Asked Questions

Written by Alex Johnson

What is HeyPros

HeyPros is a platform that connects general contractors, builders, and restoration companies with qualified independent contractors nationwide. It helps companies post jobs, manage subcontractors, schedule work, track compliance, communicate, and organize projects in one place.
​

Independent Contractors use HeyPros to claim homeowner leads, find work, apply to companies, manage active jobs, and communicate with hiring companies through the mobile app.


Who is HeyPros for

HeyPros is built for companies that manage subcontractors and for contractors who want to find more work.

For hiring companies, HeyPros simplifies job posting, communication, scheduling, and documentation.


For independent contractors, it provides access homeowner leads, to new job opportunities, direct company applications, and verified hiring networks.


What is the difference between company accounts and contractor accounts

Company accounts are for general contractors or other hiring companies that use HeyPros to post and manage work orders.
Contractor accounts are for tradespeople or subcontractor businesses that receive, bid on, and complete jobs.


What is the difference between public and private contractors

Private contractors are subcontractors added directly by a company. They are private to that company and not shared with anyone else.
​Public contractors are independent contractors who create their own paid HeyPros subscription. They can claim homeowner leads, view and bid on public work orders and apply directly to companies that are hiring through HeyPros.


What are homeowner leads

Leads are homeowner opportunities you can preview and claim inside HeyPros.
​

Unlike many lead-gen platforms, HeyPros does not purchase leads from other services, every single lead on our platform is generated by our own marketing team. HeyPros runs our own marketing campaigns to make sure that every lead we provide is the highest quality possible. HeyPros Leads are customer leads, not guaranteed jobs.

HeyPros cannot control or force homeowners to respond quickly.



Where do HeyPros homeowner leads come from?

HeyPros does not buy leads from third-party lead sellers.

Our team generates homeowner leads through HeyPros marketing campaigns. When a homeowner fills out a quote request form, they are told that a local contractor may call or text them about their project.


Are homeowner leads guaranteed jobs?

No.

Homeowner leads are real opportunities, but they are not guaranteed jobs or guaranteed appointments.

When you claim a lead, you are paying for the opportunity to contact a homeowner who requested a quote. Some homeowners respond quickly. Some take longer. Some may already be speaking with other contractors. Some may decide not to move forward at all.

That is a normal part of lead generation.


How do I claim a lead?

You can preview the lead first, then decide whether to claim it.

Once you claim a lead, one lead credit is used and the homeowner’s contact information is unlocked so you can contact them directly.


Do I have to claim a lead right away?

No, but speed matters.

The contractors who usually get the best results are the ones who contact homeowners quickly after the lead is posted and claimed.


What should I do after I claim a lead?

For best results:

  • Contact the homeowner as soon as possible

  • Call or text more than once

  • If they do not respond right away, try again the next day

  • Be ready to discuss the project clearly and quickly

Homeowners often make decisions fast, so quick follow-up usually gives you the best chance of winning the job.


How many times should I try contacting a homeowner?

We recommend reaching out 5 to 7 times.

Many homeowners do not answer on the first attempt, especially if they are busy, working, or do not recognize the number.


If a homeowner does not answer, does that mean the lead was bad?

Not necessarily.

A homeowner not answering right away is a normal lead outcome and does not automatically mean the lead was invalid.

Some homeowners:

  • call back later

  • text instead of answering

  • are still comparing contractors

  • already got busy with something else

  • are not ready the same day they requested a quote


Why might I not win a job from a lead?

There are a lot of reasons you may not win a lead, including:

  • the homeowner hired someone else

  • the homeowner is still shopping

  • the homeowner changed their mind

  • the homeowner was not ready yet

  • your pricing or timing was not the right fit

  • the homeowner never responded

Not winning the job does not automatically mean there was something wrong with the lead.


Can I see the homeowner’s contact information before claiming?

No.

You can preview the lead details first, but the homeowner’s contact information is only revealed once you claim the lead with a credit.


Do lead credits expire?

No.

Your lead credits do not expire. If you do not use them right away, they stay on your account until you are ready to use them.


What if I run out of lead credits?

If you use all of your included lead credits, you can purchase additional credits inside the app as needed.


What does the HeyPros Lead Credit Guarantee cover?

We’ll return your lead credit when:

  • The phone number is wrong or disconnected

  • The homeowner says they didn’t request the project

  • The lead is a duplicate

  • The job type or location is incorrect

  • The lead is fake, spam, or affected by a platform error

  • The homeowner can’t be reached after multiple calls, texts, and follow-ups over several days

How to request your lead credit back

  1. Open the claimed lead in HeyPros.

  2. Select Report an Issue.

  3. Choose the reason that best describes the issue.

  4. Answer the follow-up questions and submit the request.

If the request is approved, the lead credit used to claim that lead will be returned to your active HeyPros account.
​

See How to Submit a Lead Credit Refund Request for the complete steps.

What doesn’t the guarantee cover?

Homeowner leads are opportunities, not guaranteed jobs. The guarantee doesn’t cover:

  • The homeowner choosing another contractor

  • A pricing or scheduling disagreement

  • The homeowner deciding not to move forward

  • A project being smaller than you wanted

  • You not winning the job

Returned credits are HeyPros lead credits and aren’t cash refunds.

What is the best way to get value from homeowner leads?

The contractors who usually get the most value from HeyPros homeowner leads do a few simple things well:

  • stay active in the app

  • focus on leads that match their trade and area

  • reach out fast

  • follow up more than once

  • stay realistic about the fact that not every lead will turn into a job


What are public work orders

Public work orders are open jobs posted to the HeyPros Marketplace. They are always bidding work orders and use default HeyPros job categories.
When a company posts a public work order, it becomes visible to both their private subs and public contractors in that trade and region. Most public jobs begin receiving bids within 24 to 72 hours.
Public work orders also help companies discover new subcontractors for future private jobs.


What are private work orders

Private work orders are shared only with a company’s private subcontractor network. These jobs do not appear on the Marketplace and can be created as allow offers, firm price, instant book, or assign directly.
Private work orders can use custom categories created by that company.


How do contractors get jobs

Public contractors with paid accounts can view and bid on public work orders nationwide in the HeyPros app. They can also apply directly to companies that are hiring through the in-app map.

Private subcontractors receive work directly from the companies that invited them. They do not need the mobile app but are encouraged to download it for faster access and to enable text message notifications so they never miss a job alert.


What if I do not see jobs in my area today

Jobs are added daily and are claimed quickly. Check the app regularly to stay current.
Even if you do not see active jobs today, you can use your map to apply directly to hiring companies that are expanding their networks. Many will interview you and request compliance documents before assigning work.

HeyPros connects you with companies nationwide. Joining is an investment in consistent work opportunities throughout the year.


How do contractors log in

Contractors with their own subscriptions log in through the HeyPros mobile app using their phone number and a secure text verification.

Private subcontractors who were added by a company can log in through text links or the mobile app. While the app is not required for private subs, it is recommended for convenience and faster updates.


Do contractors need the mobile app

Yes, all public contractors need the mobile app to view jobs, bid, and message companies.
Private subcontractors can work directly from text notifications, but most still use the app for easier access to job details and communication.


How do hiring companies find new subcontractors

Hiring companies can:

  1. Turn on their Hiring Application under Hire Contractors to receive direct applications from subs.

  2. Post Public Work Orders to the HeyPros Marketplace. This not only fills open jobs but also helps them find and vet new subcontractors.


What tools are included in HeyPros

All plans include tools for managing work orders, subcontractors, messaging, and document tracking.

The Pro Plus plan includes additional CRM and project management tools for companies that want to track leads, organize job pipelines, and manage workflows inside HeyPros. These tools can be used alongside your existing CRM if you already have one.


How do companies post a job

Go to Work Orders, click Create Work Order, and enter the address, category, dates, and job details. Choose whether to post it privately or publicly, then click Post.
Eligible subcontractors will receive notifications immediately.


What happens after a job is posted

Subcontractors receive a notification in the app. They can review details, submit bids, or accept offers. Once a subcontractor is awarded the job, all messaging, file sharing, and updates happen directly in HeyPros.


What are the plan types

HeyPros offers three plan levels for companies:

  • Base – Core features like work orders, messaging, and subcontractor management

  • Pro Plus – Adds compliance, CRM, project management, and integrations

  • Enterprise – For large or multi-branch operations that need custom setup

Independent contractors have a separate Public Contractor subscription that lets them view and bid on jobs from any company.


Can I connect HeyPros to other software

Yes. Pro Plus and Enterprise plans can integrate with tools like Jobber, Monday, DripJobs, PaintScout, and QuickBooks through Zapier.


What if I already work with a company that uses HeyPros

If a company invites you, you will receive a text message to create your private subcontractor account. You will only see work from that company.
You can still sign up separately for a paid public subscription to find more jobs with other companies.


Can I have more than one account

Yes. You can keep your private account for your existing company and create a second, paid public account to find new work. Each account operates independently.


How do I cancel my account or subscription

You can cancel through the HeyPros mobile app. Go to Settings, Go To Billing Portal, select Cancel Subscription and then follow the prompts.


Can I change my phone number or email

Yes. Open Settings, select My Profile, and update your contact information. You will need to verify your new number in the app.


What are compliance documents

Compliance documents include insurance, W-9s, licenses, and other files that companies request before assigning work. These are uploaded and tracked inside HeyPros to keep everything organized and current.


What is the HeyPros Marketplace

The Marketplace is where public work orders are listed. Subcontractors can filter by trade, state, or location to find relevant jobs and submit bids directly from the app.


What types of jobs are on HeyPros

Jobs cover many trades, including painting, flooring, drywall, roofing, remodeling, cleaning, and general contracting. Jobs range from single-service residential projects to larger commercial or restoration work.


Who do I contact about a specific work order

Subcontractors should contact the hiring company that posted the work order directly in the app. All job details, questions, and scheduling should be handled through your messages in HeyPros.


How do payments work

Payments are handled directly between the hiring company and the subcontractor. HeyPros does not process payments. Each company manages its own payment methods and schedules. If you have questions about when or how you’ll be paid, contact the company that assigned the work order.



How do I contact HeyPros support

For the fastest help, please use the HeyPros Help Center first. You can find answers to common questions about your account, and how the platform works.

If you still need help after checking the Help Center, please email [email protected]
