We are collecting case studies
We are collecting case studies from Ohio homeowners. Submit yours below.
The examples on this page are sample structures only. They are not real testimonials, not endorsements, and not published homeowner claims.
Sample case-study formats
These samples show the format future stories will use: problem, ProFix path, and outcome. They are clearly marked as samples because no homeowner testimonial has been approved for publication here yet.
Cleveland family: $3,400 saved when comparing 3 quotes through ProFix
- Problem
- A pre-1940 home needed plumbing work after repeated drain backups, but the first quote bundled optional upgrades into the emergency repair.
- ProFix path
- The homeowner used ProFix to compare licensed plumbers, permit context, and written quote scope before submitting a focused job request.
- Outcome
- Sample outcome format: the family picks a licensed plumber, narrows the scope, and documents the permit and warranty before work starts.
Cincinnati senior: Found a Permit-Verified roofer after a storm
- Problem
- Wind damage left missing shingles, and door-to-door crews were asking for insurance paperwork before providing a written scope.
- ProFix path
- The homeowner checked ProFix permit leaderboards, roofing buyer guidance, and local profile evidence before calling roofers.
- Outcome
- Sample outcome format: the homeowner chooses a roofer with verifiable local work, written insurance scope, and documented cleanup terms.
Toledo first-time buyer: Used /verify to catch an expired plumbing license before signing
- Problem
- A home inspection called out water-heater and drain-line concerns, and one quoted business used a license number that did not match.
- ProFix path
- The buyer used ProFix verification steps before signing a repair addendum and asked for corrected license and insurance evidence.
- Outcome
- Sample outcome format: the buyer avoids a mismatch, asks for a new quote, and keeps the verification record with the closing file.
