Apply for this zone →What you get
One flat fee. Four things.
No lead fees, no bidding, no upsells. Four issues a year, and you can run every one or only the season that matters to your trade.
01
Your name on the page
Company name, phone and website, printed clean in your trade. One of only five, in a book that stays in the drawer all season.
02
The Screened seal, yours to use
Once you clear the bar you are Screened by I Know a Guy. Put it on the truck, the website, the yard signs, the estimates. A credential you earned, not an ad you bought.
03
Your profile on the site
When a homeowner looks you up online, you are right here in the guide with your number and a way to reach you.
04
The requests that come in
A homeowner picks your trade and describes the job once. Every company we list for it gets the whole thing: address, description, photos, direct contact.

The alternative
Reaching this zone on your own costs $2,403.
Mail it yourself
$2,403
6,007homes at about 40¢ each, postage and printing.
That is one drop. You write it, design it, bundle it in hundreds, do the paperwork and drive it to the post office. Next season you pay it again.
Your spot in the guide
$100
24× cheaper, for the whole season.
Same homes, same mailbox. We write it, print it and mail it. Your name is in there because you were screened, not because you bought a page.
Own-mailing cost uses the going all-in EDDM rate of about 40¢ a home, postage and printing together. The honest difference: a piece of your own is yours alone, and this page has four other companies on it. That is the trade.
The bar
The bar is the product.
A homeowner trusts every name inside because getting in is hard. That is what you are buying. Not an ad slot, a credential.
Licensed where the trade requires it
We look the number up in the state database before we print it.
Insured, attested in writing
Homeowners are taught to ask for your certificate. Have it ready.
A track record we can check
Real finished work and references we check by hand. Not a star average.
You answer local calls
Within one business day. The whole book falls apart if a name does not pick up.
How it goes
01
Apply. Takes a few minutes.
02
I check you out. About a week.
03
Accepted, and I invoice your zone.
04
The book mails Fall 2026.
If it doesn’t mail, you don’t pay.
Ready to hold your spot?
Pick your trade, tell me about the work you do, and apply to be one of five. I check every applicant myself. My number is on every page of the book.
Nothing is charged unless you are accepted. If the first edition doesn’t mail, you don’t pay.
Who’s behind it
I’m Luke, a local landlord who has hired more contractors than most people ever will. The great ones deserved to be known by every homeowner in town, so I’m putting them in a book.
