  • Company Description
    Redbeacon isn’t like typical local search directories that simply return local business listings with ratings and reviews, leaving you to sort through dozens of entries.

    Instead, we notify businesses and professionals in your area that we believe can serve you best, and invite them to submit a price quote for your job.

    Then we show you the price quotes and profiles of people interested in doing your job, and allow you to book an appointment with them, saving you the time and hassle of calling around.
