Finding Contractors
SeasonKeep helps you find qualified contractors near your home when you need professional help with a maintenance task. Our contractor directory is powered by Google Places.
Searching for Contractors
To find a contractor:
- Go to the Contractors section from the sidebar
- Select the service type you need (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical)
- Adjust the search radius if needed (default is 25 miles from your home's zip code)
- Browse the results, which show business name, rating, and services offered
You can also find contractors directly from a task. When viewing a task detail, look for the Find a Contractor link — it pre-fills the search with the relevant service type for that specific task.
Understanding Search Results
Each contractor listing shows:
- Business name and address — Pulled from Google Places data
- Rating — The average rating from Google reviews
- Service types — What kinds of work they handle
Results are sorted by rating by default. Use the sort control to reorder by number of reviews or alphabetically.
Saving Favorites

Ratings
SeasonKeep displays Google Places ratings and review counts for each contractor, helping you evaluate contractors based on real customer feedback.
Contextual Suggestions
When you view a task that typically requires professional help (tasks rated "Hard" or "Professional Only"), SeasonKeep suggests relevant contractors automatically. These suggestions are based on the task's service category and your home's location — no searching required.
Plan Requirements
Contractor search is a Home Plan+ feature. Free plan users can view basic task details but cannot search the contractor directory or save favorites. Upgrade to Home Plan or above to access the full contractor experience.
