Why Trade Partners Stay With Us

What You Can Count On

  • Get paid fast

    No chasing. Invoice in by Wednesday, typically processed Thursday and sent Friday — next-day direct deposit via QuickBooks Online.

  • Steady, real work

    We schedule two weeks out and give you as much lead time as we can. Reliable partners get the call first.

  • We send you referrals

    Our best trade partners get referred to clients, friends, and colleagues. Good work with us turns into more work, period.

  • No surprises on scope

    You'll have complete plans and specs before your final bid is due, and you'll always know who to call and when you're needed.

  • We respect your time

    We show up organized and prepared. We won't waste your day, and we'll never leave you guessing.

  • One team, no drama

    We work with good people who treat each other well. You'll like the crews you're on site with — that's not an accident.

The Team You're Joining

The Big Five

Five standards define every B Home Co job site. They're how we earn our clients' trust — and how our partners earn ours. They apply to all of us, every time.

1

Treat every client like your grandmother

Customer service is our #1 priority. Introduce yourself, be kind, and go the extra mile. We're inviting you into someone's home and staking our reputation on it — when clients love the experience, everybody gets more work.

2

No jerks

We treat everyone with respect — clients, our team, other trade partners, inspectors, the dumpster guy. Mutual trust and respect is what makes great work possible, and we're one team on every site. Life's too short, and the work's too good, to do it any other way.

3

Clear heads on every site

No alcohol, drugs, or mind-altering substances on job sites, in vehicles on site, or anywhere on B Home Co property. Our clients trust us in their homes, and that trust starts here.

4

Leave it cleaner than you found it

Our clients live in their homes. Broom-clean minimum every time you leave — even just for lunch. Bag the debris, wipe the surfaces, vacuum when you can. Treat every home like it belongs to someone you love.

5

Keep us in the loop

We need to know when you're coming before you arrive. Confirm your schedule in JobTread, tell your PM right away if anything changes, and give us a heads up the day before you're on site. That's how we keep homeowners happy and projects on track.

These standards matter enough that we hold everyone to them — partners who can't meet them won't stay on our list. The good news: the partners who live by them are exactly who we want to keep busy.

Design-Build Means We Bring You In Earlier

How Our Bid Process Works

As a design-build firm, we're often designing to a budget — so we bring you in early. We need your ballpark pricing before the design is final, which helps us shape the project around real numbers from the people who'll do the work.

B. HOME CO. · TRADE PARTNERS How Our Bid Process Works As a design-build firm, we’re often designing to a budget — so we need your ballpark pricing early, before the design is final. 1 STEP 01 · ROUGH PRICING Give us a ballpark Within 10–20% of final — you're never held to it. 2 STEP 02 · TRADE WALK Walk the job Once design is done, you walk it with a full plan set. 3 STEP 03 · FINAL BID Submit your final bid Final and binding. Include your time-to-complete. STEP 04 · PURCHASE ORDER Your bid becomes a PO On approval, your bid becomes a Purchase Order. TIMING Bids approved 1–2 months before start (1–2 weeks for trades set on site). POs released 2–3 weeks before start. CHANGES TO SCOPE Get it in writing first Any change in scope needs a written change order, approved by your PM, before you do the work. No change order, no work — it protects your right to be paid.
How We Request Quotes

We send requests for quotes through JobTread bid requests, with digital plans attached, so you have everything you need to price the job — no guesswork, no chasing paper. New to JobTread? See their guide for trade partners.

Phase 1

Rough Pricing

Early in design, we ask for a ballpark — not your final number. We expect it within 10–20% of the final, and you're never held to it.

Phase 2

Trade Walk & Final Bid

Once design is complete, you walk the job with a full plan set. Phase 2 bids are final and binding. Include your time-to-complete. On approval, your bid becomes a Purchase Order (PO).

Bids are typically approved 1–2 months before start (exceptions for trades like drywall, or exceptions made). POs are released 2–3 weeks before start.

Changes to scope: any change in scope needs a written change order, approved by your PM, before you do the work. No change order, no work — it's what protects your right to be paid.

Frequently Asked Questions

How and when do I get paid?
Send your invoice to finance@bhomeco.net. Our bookkeeper enters it and your PM approves it for payment — invoices in by Wednesday are typically processed Thursday and sent Friday, with next-day direct deposit via QuickBooks Online. We pay Net 14 by default; if you need it faster or run Net 30, just state your terms on your bid and we'll match them. Questions or a delay? Text or email your PM at (629) 288-1290.
What insurance do I need?
General Liability ($1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate, with B Home Co named as additional insured), auto liability ($1M per accident), and Workers' Compensation — or a valid WC exemption certificate. Certificates go to office@bhomeco.net.
Do I need to use JobTread?
Yes. It's free and required. All bids, purchase orders, schedules, and project communication run through it. Respond to messages within 1 business day. Training is available from us if you need it.
How do the bid phases work?
Phase 1 is a rough ballpark early in design — you're never held to it. Phase 2 comes after a trade walk with full plans, and that bid is final and binding. When it's approved, it becomes a Purchase Order.
What if a homeowner asks me to do extra work?
Just say: "That sounds great — let me have your project manager get that taken care of for you." Don't quote prices or start work without a PO. All changes go through your PM and a variance PO, which is what protects your right to be paid.
Can I do side work for the homeowner?
Not during an active B Home Co project. Once the project is complete, you're welcome to work with the homeowner directly. Side work that reflects poorly on B Home Co is grounds for removal from our vendor list.
What are the work hours?
Monday–Friday, 8–5 standard. Anything outside those hours needs advance written approval from your PM. Hours can vary project to project — your PM will let you know.
What's expected for job site cleanliness?
"Broom clean and hand-wiped" is the minimum, every time you leave — even for lunch. Bag all debris, keep floors and surfaces clear in the work area and travel path, and vacuum over sweeping when you can. The goal is always to leave the home cleaner than you found it.
How does the warranty work?
One year on all workmanship and materials from project completion. Callbacks come through B Home Co — never contact the homeowner directly unless your PM directs you to. We notify you within 24 hours; you schedule with the homeowner within 48 hours and complete the repair within 10 business days.
What happens if there's a problem on site?
Bring it to your PM, not the homeowner — hidden conditions, scope questions, scheduling conflicts, anything. We handle all client communication so you can focus on the work, and we'll always work to resolve issues quickly and fairly.
