How we chose
We looked for companies and marketplaces that serve customers across the US (or, for specialist work, major regions), have a working website, and explain on that site what they do, where they work and how to book. We read each company's own pages and linked them so you can check for yourself. We left out companies we could not confirm are still operating.
We don't give star ratings or scores, and we don't publish reviews, review counts or prices on this site. Where a company publishes its own prices, we say so and link to that page. These are summaries, not endorsements, and details change. Last checked October 2026.
