Kukun Debuts Free Professional Network, Connecting Home Renovation Professionals and Homeowners

MENLO PARK, Calif., July 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Kukun debuted its next step in becoming the premier marketplace for homeowners and home renovation professionals. This release follows the June 8 debut of the company's Personalized Estimate, Quote Request, and Projected Home Value tools.

The Kukun Professional Network provides a place where professionals involved in every part of the home renovation process – including architects, general contractors, subcontractors, interior designers, and loan officers – can display their work and offer their services to homeowners looking to take on renovation projects, free of charge. More than 2600 professionals are now reachable through Kukun.

Professionals can join for free and create rich profiles complete with references, photos of their work, and business info for Kukun users to peruse. Real estate agents can use Kukun's renovation cost estimate and Projected Home Value tools to help showcase a home's potential, thereby assisting their clients with getting over their fears of home renovation and determining the ROI of renovation estimates. Users can do all of these things from mobile devices in a matter of minutes.

With a diverse network of professionals included in the Kukun Professional Network and a variety of tools available, homeowners can determine the potential cost of their renovation project with the Projected Home Value feature and create detailed plans, then build and share requests for quotes with various professionals in the network using Quote Request. This streamlines the home renovation process and provides an equal playing field for industry professionals. Kukun also analyzes the data produced by its users to identify trends in the home renovation industry, which professionals can use to better tailor their profiles, etc. This data is showcased in Kukun's Home Renovation Pulse Report, which is available for free download on Kukun's website. 

"Kukun's ultimate goal is to create a common language between professionals in the home renovation industry and homeowners. A slew of tools will be launched in the next few months to help homeowners and professionals make the home renovation process more controllable and transparent. This will eventually allow more professionals to find opportunities outside of their local areas and fulfill a market need," said Raf Howery, CEO and founder of Kukun.
