What is Tradeltop?

Tradeltop is a marketplace and workflow platform, not a contractor.

Tradeltop helps people describe jobs, prepare briefs, find matched Trade Companies, request quotes, communicate, and track progress. Tradeltop is not a builder, contractor, project manager, certifier, inspector, insurer, or trade service provider.

  • Customers and Trade Companies decide whether to enter a work agreement with each other.
  • Tradeltop does not employ, supervise, direct, control, or guarantee Trade Companies.
  • Tradeltop does not guarantee outcomes unless a specific feature or credential is expressly verified.

  • Coverage depends on customer demand, trade participation, timing, service areas, availability, and supported features.

Why customers use it
