A curated Pacific Northwest contractor cluster.
PNW Trades is the discovery hub for four PNW trade sites: 1st Choice Fire (sprinkler), PNW HVAC Pro, PNW Plumbing Pro, and PNW Electric Pro. Fire sprinkler is live with its contractor-partner identity, license, and customer dispatch; the other three are template-ready until a signed local partner brings those details online.
Why the cluster exists
Most local-trade SEO is dominated by national lead-broker platforms (Angi, HomeAdvisor) that route requests to whoever paid for your zip code. Customers searching for a Pacific Northwest contractor end up on a national portal full of out-of-area listings. PNW Trades is the inverse: a tight, region-anchored network where live partner claims stay separate from template-ready trade opportunities until a contractor signs.
How it works
- · Jalen Builds builds and operates the trade sites on a shared platform
- · Each live trade site is partnered with one local PNW contractor for that trade
- · Contractor brings identity, licensing, insurance, and customer dispatch
- · Studio brings SEO, content, lead tracking, and ongoing site maintenance
- · Revenue share or flat referral fee — depends on the trade
Current status
- · 1st Choice Fire (sprinkler) — LIVE since 2023, owner-operator Michael Berger
- · PNW HVAC Pro — TEMPLATE READY, accepting partner inquiries
- · PNW Plumbing Pro — TEMPLATE READY, accepting partner inquiries
- · PNW Electric Pro — TEMPLATE READY, accepting partner inquiries
For contractors
If you're a Pacific Northwest residential or light-commercial contractor in HVAC, plumbing, or electrical, and the contractor partnership model interests you, email contact@jalenbuilds.com. One partner per trade; we're looking for owner-operator or small-shop specialists, not national chains.
