BuildZoom Review
Construction and remodeling marketplace built on construction data, acquired by Block Renovation in November 2025
Reputation warning
BuildZoom's BBB profile shows no BBB accreditation. It listed 102 complaints closed in the last three years when checked on 30 September 2026. BuildZoom sets contractor fees in its own terms, and they can depend on the project, so confirm in writing which fee applies before you engage, and check whether BuildZoom already lists a profile for your business.
Quick verdict
BuildZoom. Best for: Remodelers and general contractors doing larger residential or small commercial projects who will confirm every fee in writing before engaging. Pricing: Not published on pages we could read: BuildZoom sets contractor fees in its own contractor terms, and they can depend on the project. Ask BuildZoom which fee applies to each project, how it is calculated and when it is due before you engage with the property owner. Lead model: Matched per project: BuildZoom matches property owners with contractors for each project; ask BuildZoom how many contractors are matched per project. Fee terms that are not easy to find, little fit for service-call work, a November 2025 ownership change to Block Renovation, and 102 closed complaints on its BBB profile (see the reputation warning).
About BuildZoom
BuildZoom is an online marketplace that matches property owners with contractors for remodeling and construction projects. Co-founder David Petersen describes it as a marketplace founded on billions of construction data points, and BuildZoom, Inc. lists a San Francisco address on its BBB profile. It works differently from the pay-per-lead and pay-per-call services in this directory: the focus is larger projects, not high-frequency service calls.
In November 2025, New York-based Block Renovation announced it had acquired BuildZoom Marketplace. Block says the deal combines BuildZoom Marketplace's contractor network and organic demand with its own AI and product experience to create a platform for planning and hiring for major residential and small commercial projects across all 50 states. How contractor terms, fees and the BuildZoom brand change under Block is not spelled out in the announcement.
Contractor fees are set in BuildZoom's own contractor terms and can depend on the project. We do not state a fee or percentage here because we could not confirm BuildZoom's current terms after the ownership change; ask BuildZoom which fee applies, how it is calculated and when it is due before you engage with a property owner.
The trade-off: BuildZoom is aimed at project-based contractors and remodelers rather than service shops, and it now sits inside Block Renovation. But its BBB profile lists 102 complaints closed in the last three years (see the reputation warning), the fee terms are not easy to find, and the ownership change adds uncertainty. Get every fee in writing and check whether BuildZoom already lists a profile for your business.
How it works
Property owners describe a remodeling or construction project, and BuildZoom matches them with contractors for that project using its construction data. Matched contractors bid for the work and the owner chooses whom to hire. BuildZoom charges contractors under its own contractor terms, and the fee can depend on the project, so confirm in writing which fee applies, how much it is and when it is due. Since November 2025 the marketplace has been owned by Block Renovation.
