“I was on maternity leave and was doing renovations on our 50-year old house. Throughout the process, which turned into months, I stepped back and realized how hard it was to find trusted reputable trades. I started HomeStars in 2006, and at the time there was nothing out there to help homeowners find contractors, so I started this journey as an exciting opportunity to really help homeowners connect with the most reliable and trusted contractors in Canada.”
– Nancy Peterson, CEO and Founder, HomeStars
