Find and plan a local service

Choose a service and city

1. Open the homepage and scroll to Everyday life in Southeast Texas.
2. Select Find & plan local services. You can also open /services directly or choose Plan a local service on a city page.
3. In Service, choose plumbing, heating and cooling (HVAC), electrical, roofing, construction, auto repair, real estate or moving. The default is All eight service types.
4. In City, choose your city. The default is All SETX cities. A link from a city or comparison page selects that city for you.
5. Select Find services. The selection is stored in the page URL, so you can bookmark or share the result. Changing a dropdown takes effect when you press the button.
6. Select Compare providers on a service-and-city card. The count describes eligible listings, and the comparison page shows up to ten ranked providers.

Select Clear filters to return to all types and cities. The hub is public, requires no account and has no saved preference or paid browsing setting. Results are ordered by service name and then city. Inventory can be cached for up to one hour.

Prepare your request

1. On the comparison page, review At a glance and the listed providers.
2. Scroll to Your service planning checklist below the business cards.
3. Read the preparation paragraph and Questions to ask. Gather the details that apply to your project.
4. Read Compare your options and open the linked official resource when checking credentials or consumer guidance.
5. Open a provider's profile for more details. Use Call, Visit website or the quote option when shown. Available actions depend on that profile's information and quote eligibility.
6. Confirm current availability, service area, credentials and the written scope directly with the provider.

More services in [city] shows up to six other eligible service comparisons in the same city. Plan another local service returns to the hub with the city selected. The checklists help you prepare; they do not certify individual providers.

Resolve an empty or invalid result

• Explore more local options: the selected combination has fewer than three eligible listings. Choose another service or city, or select browse the local directory to see the broader city directory.
• Choose a service and city from the available options: a URL filter is invalid or repeated. Select valid dropdown values and press Find services, or select Clear filters.
• A listing's information differs from what the provider says: follow the profile's correction process. Confirm details with the provider before booking.
• The page is temporarily unavailable: reload later. The site does not replace a failed inventory lookup with invented counts.
