Local homeowners search here first
When something breaks, people want someone nearby today. Craigslist is one of the few places where a homeowner in your service area is actively looking for a contractor right now, not three weeks from now.
Home Services Craigslist Posting Service
Craigslist Posting Service for Home Service Businesses
We write, post, and manage Craigslist ads for cleaning, handyman, HVAC, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and every other home service trade. Fresh ads, daily reposting, and flagging protection, so your phone keeps ringing without you touching Craigslist.
Home service companies live and die by the phone. Craigslist still sends local homeowners straight to that phone, but only if your ads stay live, stay near the top, and avoid the filters that wipe out most do-it-yourself posters. We have run Craigslist campaigns for home service businesses since 2009. This page covers how it works, which sections we post in, and the trades we handle.
Why Craigslist Works
Why Home Services Companies Keep Using Craigslist in 2026
The reasons home service businesses across the United States keep posting on Craigslist year after year.
Low cost per call
A posting fee of a few dollars per ad is a fraction of what search ads or lead resellers charge. Calls come to you directly and are not resold to four competitors at the same time.
You own the conversation
Calls and emails come straight to your business. No middleman, no bidding war, no platform deciding who sees your offer. That direct line is why home trades keep coming back.
Volume you control
Need more calls this week? We post more. Slow season? We scale back. Your Craigslist presence flexes with your schedule and crew capacity.
Where Your Ads Go
Craigslist Sections We Use for Home Services
Picking the right section is one of the biggest factors in how many calls your ads generate. Posting in the wrong section gets ads flagged or buried; the right one puts you in front of active buyers. These are the sections we post home service businesses into, chosen and managed by our posters.
Household Services
The busiest home section: cleaning, handyman, painting, flooring, junk removal, garage doors, appliance repair, carpet cleaning, and more.
Skilled Trade Services
Where contractors and tradespeople post: electrical, drywall, tile, concrete, fencing, windows, framing, and general contracting work.
Labor / Moving & Hauling
Used for hauling, demolition, moving help, and general labor services that overlap with home and property work.
How It Works
How Our Home Services Craigslist Posting Works
From first call to live ads, here is exactly what happens when you hand your Craigslist posting to us.
01
You tell us your trade and area
We learn what you do, the cities you serve, and the jobs you want more of. That decides which Craigslist section and wording we use.
02
We write and design your ads
Custom ad copy and clean images built for your trade, not recycled templates. Written to match how local homeowners actually search.
03
We post and repost on schedule
Your ads go live in the right section and get refreshed through the day so they stay near the top instead of sinking out of view.
04
Calls come straight to you
Leads land in your phone and inbox directly. No middleman, no shared leads. You close the jobs.

Home Services FAQ
Common Questions About Our Home Services Craigslist Posting Service
Which Craigslist section should my home service ads go in?
Most home trades post in Household Services or Skilled Trade Services depending on the work. We pick the section that matches how local homeowners actually search for your service, which directly affects how many calls you get.
How much does Craigslist charge for home service ads?
Craigslist charges a 5 dollar service fee per ad in these sections. That fee is passed through at cost. Our posting fee is separate and depends on the plan you choose.
Why do my own Craigslist ads keep disappearing?
Craigslist flags and ghosts ads that look repetitive, use the wrong category, or come from flagged accounts. We post in a way that avoids those triggers so your ads stay live and visible.
My trade is not in your list. Can you still post for me?
Yes. The list shows our most common home trades. If you provide any home or property service, we can post for you. Just ask and we will confirm the right category.
How fast can you start?
We send a free custom sample ad within 24 hours. Once you approve it and pick a plan, posting can begin the same week.
