Users are notified of available jobs and pay a commission to Redbeacon based on the quote amount. Setting up a profile on Redbeacon is free, however, there is a fee for becoming a "Redbeacon verified professional," which involves social security and criminal background checks. After a job is completed, the customer pays the contractor directly.
According to Redbeacon, its service "takes a revolutionary new approach to finding home services online without hours of reputation research and tedious price comparisons."
