Owners who asked for help
Owners reach us through online requests. Planned for launch: door teams, workshops and mailers.
For contractors and licensed trades
Grow with a year-round property services network.
We’re recruiting independent crews for the RPS Trades beta network across lawn and landscape, cleanup, roof and exterior, garage doors, HVAC, interior, mechanical, restoration and foundation repair.
Beta offer: Contractors join with no membership or referral fees during beta, with no later fees for leads delivered or jobs signed during beta. Submit your certificate of insurance and required licenses for review before listing. When a homeowner or business in your area asks for your trade, we may introduce you if you’re a suitable contractor whose certificate of insurance and required licenses we’ve reviewed for the job.
Why partner
What you get
Trusted introductions, without the retail markup.
Planned for launch: RPS Trades advisors will meet DFW homeowners and businesses in their neighborhoods, especially during storm season, and introduce them to our preferred partner network. Advisors never discuss or negotiate insurance claims, and no retail middleman takes a cut of your margin.
Better margins, no middleman
Work directly with owners and keep more of every job, with room to meet the network’s insurance requirements or upgrade your coverage.
No membership or referral fees during the beta
Contractors join with no membership or referral fees during beta, with no later fees for leads delivered or jobs signed during beta.
Year-round trades
The network covers seasonal and year-round work, so owners have a reason to come back for their next project.
How it works
Three steps to join
Insurance coverage can come from any licensed agent you choose.
Apply
Tell us about your company, category and trade.
Get approved
RPS Trades reviews your insurance and any license your trade requires.
Sign and get listed
Sign the provider agreement. Introductions come as homeowners in your area reach out, so timing depends on demand.
Requirements
What we require
The same standards apply to every partner, no matter who writes your insurance. We only work with pros who do the job right.
- General liability insurance, reviewed with your insurer
- Workers’ compensation or occupational accident coverage for your crew (strongly recommended, not required)
- Any license Texas requires for your trade (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, irrigation, mold remediation, pesticide application)
- Written contracts with owners, and lien waivers with every payment
- No insurance claim handling, and no deductible waivers
- Photo documentation at each stage of the job
- Roofing crews: a manufacturer-certified roofing company, or installers who hold a shingle manufacturer’s installation credential, including the manufacturer’s ventilation requirements
- Roof replacements: full tear-off to the deck, decking inspected and photographed, damaged decking replaced, and new underlayment installed to the manufacturer’s requirements. No underlayment laid over old underlayment.
- Roof inspectors: HAAG Certified Inspector (Residential Roofs)
Founding members
Join before our spring launch.
RPS Trades launches March 1, 2027, ahead of North Texas storm season. Any founding member terms will be explained in writing before you agree to any paid membership.
Contractors join with no membership or referral fees during beta, with no later fees for leads delivered or jobs signed during beta. We’re developing paid contractor membership options. We’ll explain the services, prices and payment terms before you agree to any paid service.
- Planned for launch: neighborhood outreach and mailers across Dallas-Fort Worth, where we advise homeowners and businesses on our preferred partner network.
- Good standing: current required insurance and licenses, compliance with the provider agreement, and payment of any fees owed.
- If coverage lapses: new referrals pause immediately. Restore required coverage within 30 days to keep founding status. No uninsured work is permitted during that time.
- Declining jobs: never affects founding status. You decide which project opportunities to accept.
- Leaving the network: voluntary withdrawal ends founding status. Rejoining uses the terms available at that time.
- Deadline: founding membership is open to providers who apply and are approved before March 1, 2027.
Planned outreach is not a guarantee of introductions, jobs, or earnings. Membership options are still being developed, and no prices have been set. Full terms are included in the provider agreement.
Neighborhood outreach program
More than a directory. A trusted introduction.
RPS Trades introduces your company to DFW homeowners and businesses who request help finding a contractor, if you’re a suitable contractor whose certificate of insurance and required licenses we’ve reviewed for the job. Requests come in online now; in-person neighborhood outreach is planned. During neighborhood outreach, RPS Trades advisors introduce clients to our preferred partner network. We never sell jobs for you. See our Preferred Partner Standards.
- Planned for spring hail season: roofing leads the way. Our planned storm outreach is built around roof replacements, with windows, gutters, siding, fencing, hail PDR, and other storm restoration trades wrapped around every roof job.
- Summer: home services like pest control, fiber and internet, alarms and security, solar, and water filtration and softeners.
The neighborhood outreach program is open by application to companies with outstanding reviews and at least 3 years in business.
