The Bid Board: open jobs you can bid on

The Glenn Stover Marketplace is a local place where homeowners post projects and contractors vetted by Glenn bid on them. It’s one board with two tracks:

• Existing-home small jobs: Remodeling, Reconditioning, Outdoor Spaces.
• New-home work packages: new homes broken into clear packages you can bid on by trade.

Quit chasing tire-kickers. Start bidding real jobs. Every job here is already scoped, has a budget behind it and a homeowner ready to go. No lead fees, no bid fees, and no driving out for free quotes on work that was never real. Same scope for every bidder, sealed bids, and the homeowner picks the best bid. Finish the work, pass the checks, and the homeowner pays you directly, and the checks keep it clear when the work is done. Founding pros get 3 months free. Spots are limited, so apply now.

How it works

1. Apply. Fill out the short form below. It takes a few minutes.
2. Get vetted. Send your registration, insurance paperwork, references and past work, then have a talk with Glenn.
3. Bid on open jobs. Once you’re in, you’ll see The Bid Board in your Contractor Portal. Bid on the jobs that fit your trade and schedule. Bidding is free.
4. The homeowner chooses. Glenn goes over the bids with the homeowner and gives his advice. The homeowner makes the pick.
5. Do the work, get paid directly. The homeowner pays you directly. Glenn checks the work at each milestone before the homeowner pays you, so there’s no argument about whether the work is in place.

What it costs

$49 a month. On existing-home jobs you sign, add 2.5%, capped at $250 on any one job, and your $49 membership is credited toward that 2.5%, so you’re not paying twice. On new-home work packages, the $49 membership is all you pay. No lead fees, no bid fees. Your fees are spelled out in writing before you bid.

Every pro on The Bid Board pays the same published fees. No paid placement, no lead fees, no bid fees.

Founding members

Founding members: your first 3 months of membership are free if you’re one of the first 25 pros to join or you join by Dec 31, 2026, whichever comes first. The 2.5% on existing-home jobs you sign, capped at $250 per job, still applies during those months.

Every member is vetted by Glenn

To join, you’ll need:

• An active PA Home Improvement Contractor registration
• Insurance and workers’ comp paperwork (workers’ comp where PA law requires it)
• General liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence
• References from past customers
• Examples of your past work
• A talk with Glenn

Service area: York County plus south-central Pennsylvania.

Members are tracked on a simple scorecard (on time, inspections, callbacks, client ratings), and you see your own.

How we keep The Bid Board fair

Treat people right and do good work. Use a written, signed contract, follow PA’s Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act, keep your registration and insurance current, and keep the homeowner informed.

10 days to fix it. If you fail one of Glenn’s checks, leave a job unfinished, or Glenn confirms a client complaint, he’ll tell you in writing what’s wrong. You get 10 days to make it right.

Removed right away. You’re removed on the spot, and blocked from bidding on or viewing any projects or requests for bid, for:

• breaking PA’s home improvement or consumer protection laws
• misrepresenting your status, such as calling yourself “certified” by Glenn (members are vetted)
• a safety problem
• fraud
• a lapsed registration or lapsed insurance

You can leave any time with 14 days’ written notice. Email is fine.

The full Contractor Participation Agreement is shared with you during vetting, before you bid on anything.

Questions pros ask

Do I pay to see jobs or to bid?
No. There are no lead fees and no bid fees. You pay the $49 membership, plus 2.5% on existing-home jobs you actually sign (capped at $250 per job, with your $49 credited toward it).

How many jobs will I get?
No one can promise that, and we won’t. What we promise is that every job on The Bid Board is scoped by Glenn first, and every bidder sees the same scope.

Who pays me, and when?
The homeowner pays you directly. Glenn never handles anyone’s money. Glenn checks the work before the homeowner pays you: at each milestone on bigger jobs, and once at completion on existing-home jobs of $10,000 or less. Set your payment schedule to follow those checks.

Does Glenn compete with me?
No. Glenn never bids on Bid Board jobs. He scopes the job, reviews bids with the homeowner, and checks the work. The homeowner chooses.

Who is Glenn?
Glenn Stover is a Marine veteran and construction consultant in south-central Pennsylvania. He doesn’t do the work. He stands in the homeowner’s corner, and in yours too.
