BidBro is where Chesapeake homeowners get work done: describe your project once, and it goes to contractors who work in Chesapeake, who can bid on it. Instead of chasing one estimate at a time, you post the job — a kitchen remodel, a new roof, an addition, a repair — and compare the quotes you get side by side on price, approach, and timeline. This is a place to hire a pro for a home-improvement project, not a job board.
Describe your scope, your timeline, and your budget, and local pros will tell you what the work actually costs in Chesapeake — a fair local price is the figure several local contractors converge on for your specific job, not a single estimate.

1. Describe your project
Tell us the type of work, rough scope, and where in Chesapeake you are. It takes a few minutes and it's free.
2. Compare competing bids
Contractors who respond send bids you compare on price, approach, and timeline — no endless phone tag.
3. Hire the right pro
Verify each bidder's license and insurance, then hire the pro whose bid fits your job and budget best.
Posting a project reaches pros who already work your part of Chesapeake, including:
Just outside Chesapeake? BidBro also covers Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Suffolk.
Post your project on BidBro — the type of work, a rough scope, and your Chesapeake address or neighborhood — and your brief is sent to contractors working in Chesapeake, who can respond with bids. Posting is free and takes a few minutes. When bids come in, you compare them on price, approach, and timeline, verify each contractor's license and insurance, then hire the one you want. No calling around for estimates one at a time.
It depends entirely on scope — a cosmetic refresh and a down-to-the-studs job on the same room can differ several-fold, so square footage alone tells you very little. The reliable way to price work in Chesapeake is to describe your actual scope once and let several local contractors bid it. A fair local price is the figure several pros converge on, not a single estimate.
Yes. Posting a project and collecting bids from Chesapeake contractors is free for homeowners — BidBro doesn't charge you to compare quotes. You pay only the contractor you choose to hire, at the price agreed in their bid.
Every bid shows who is quoting, so you can check that contractor's license and insurance before hiring. In Virginia, confirm the license class matches your project's size and that liability coverage is current — the bid detail and the contractor's BidBro profile give you what you need to verify, and each project page explains the local permit and licensing expectations for that type of work.
Post the project instead of searching for a company. Contractors who actually work in Chesapeake — Great Bridge, Greenbrier, Western Branch, Deep Creek, South Norfolk and the rest of the city — see the job and bid on it, so "near me" is settled by who turns up to quote rather than by who ranks. Just outside Chesapeake, BidBro also covers Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Suffolk.
Any residential home-improvement project — remodels, additions, roofing and siding, window and door replacement, HVAC, plumbing and electrical work, decks and outdoor projects, and repairs. Describe the job once and compare bids from local pros who do that exact work.

Declared permit values cover the permitted work and often run below the final invoice. These are the permits linked to contractors in BidBro’s directory, as collected from public permit records by a third-party aggregator that keeps roughly the 20 most recent per contractor — not every permit the city issued.
