PJ keeps the loop open — checks in if needed, helps if anything stalls. Quality stays high or pros lose the referral source.
Why this beats Yelp / Angi / Thumbtack
| Marketplace platforms | PJ's routing layer |
|---|
| ✗ Rank by ad spend, not quality |
✓ Ranked by who actually does good work + answers their phone |
| ✗ 20-30% platform take from contractors → passed back to you in higher quotes |
✓ No fee. Pros quote their direct rate (usually 20-30% lower than marketplace) |
| ✗ Anyone with a profile claims to do anything |
✓ Pros earned their spot on real jobs; PJ knows their work |
| ✗ No follow-through if it goes sideways |
✓ PJ stays in the thread; quality stays high or referrals dry up |
| ✗ Your contact info gets sold to other contractors → spam calls |
✓ Privacy preserved; only the routed pro gets your info |
Quick answers
What does this cost the homeowner?
The routing is free. The pro charges their normal direct rate (usually 20-30% lower than marketplace quotes because there's no platform fee inflating the number).
What service area does PJ cover?
Strongest coverage in North County coastal: Encinitas, Cardiff, Carlsbad, Solana Beach, Del Mar, Leucadia. Decent across broader SD metro. If you're in a niche pocket, text and PJ will be honest about whether he has someone for it.
What if you don't have a pro for my trade?
PJ tells you honestly + points you to the best resource (sometimes that's a marketplace as a last resort, sometimes it's a friend-of-a-friend referral he can dig up). No bait-and-switch.
Is PJ a contractor himself?
No. PJ runs SideGuy Solutions (single-operator AI shop in Encinitas). The home-pro routing is a side service powered by his actual SD network. He doesn't do the work; he routes you to the right person who does.
Can I just text without specifying a trade?
Yes. Describe what's happening ("AC making weird noise", "ceiling stain after rain", whatever) and PJ figures out which trade fits.
Stop scrolling reviews. Just text PJ.
One text. Vetted pro. No marketplace fee. PJ in the thread.
