We are pleased to announce the Alpha Launch of 3LOCALBids.com site.

3LOCALBids(http://www.3localbids.com) is a delight for homeowners. Now they can just take pictures
of the work they need done in their homes and post it here for all their
local handymen and contractors to see. This saves time - no need to search
for right person, spend hours on phone trying to explain the problem,
meeting with contractors to show them the job, negotiating the price
and maybe repeating the process a few times.

It's the ideal tool for contractors and handymen too because they don't have
to travel miles for small jobs that they aren't interested in or aren't
awarded. It allows them to look at a job in their region and then bid on it
if its within 50 miles.

Homeowners get 3 bids and then they can choose 1 contractor during or
after the time when the bid close.

- This saves time for everyone ( in turn saves money )
- This is environment friendly ( saves gas for contractor to travel and
then not get it or he may not want to do the job)
- Gets homeowners different quotes to pick a price point.

During the alpha launch the following cities are available.

Vancouver
Calgary
Kelowna
Seattle
Portland
Bellingham
