Why Ahmosis exists

In early 2026, we were looking for contractors, just like you. Marketplace, Kijiji, quote platforms: we tried them, and we were often disappointed.

Looking for a contractor means handing your home, your savings and your peace of mind to someone you don't know. The best reference is still one from someone you know. But not everyone has one.

We first organized word of mouth in our Facebook group. Over time, its limits showed: references got lost, and people who didn't know about the group were still searching alone.

So we formed a team. It collects people's experiences with contractors, good and bad, in a database that only team members can consult, to protect personal information.

With the client's consent, a reference brings together:

• their contact details and the work site address
• the contractor's contact details
• the type of work and useful details
• before and after photos, when possible
• a full account of the experience
• their consent to be cited as a reference

That consent matters: when we contact a contractor for a new client, we can mention the previous one. That closeness builds trust, on both sides.

Good advice isn't always enough. In recent news reports about abandoned job sites, homeowners had followed a recommendation from a co-worker or a neighbour. The problem isn't trusting. It's trusting without checking.

So we check the RBQ licence, the business, the insurance and the reputation before a contractor receives a project. And because experiences keep coming in, we quickly see when a contractor's work slips, or improves.

We started by offering this recommendation service for free. Thanks to this structured word of mouth, we saw frustration and anxiety drop by nearly 80% among the clients we helped find a contractor.

It stays free for homeowners. It is funded by contractors, for the projects they choose to accept.

The more you tell us about your project, the better we search: the right certifications, the right insurance, a track record that fits your work. Then we handle the introduction. You no longer have to search alone.

We wanted to offer this service everywhere in Quebec; now we do. But what truly makes the difference is the strength and commitment of the community.

Tell people about Ahmosis, and mention it in your Facebook groups. Every reference shared spares someone the anxiety we went through.
