Company Summary
We connect homeowners who need help & answers with highly qualified home & garden professionals for online advice. Instead of sifting through the mass of unaccredited & conflicting free information on the internet, homeowners can pay a small amount for trusted opinions & customized advice from home experts to support DIY projects, home improvement dilemmas & purchase decisions. Advicedrop is an online marketplace that creates this interaction.
