What a showcase home program is
Some home-service companies offer a homeowner special pricing or added value in exchange for permission to photograph the completed work, display a yard sign for a period, share a review, or occasionally serve as a local reference. Terms differ from company to company, and not every business runs one.
When it works, nearby prospects see real, finished work on a real street. When it does not, the usual problems are finding the right home, agreeing clear terms and getting the photos and review afterward.

How HearthSeal supports it
- Find suitable homes
- Browse masked profiles of approved homes by location and fit. Exact addresses stay private until a match is accepted.
- Write clear terms
- Set the value provided, who covers installation costs, photo needs, signage and review commitments before any homeowner accepts.
- Run the job on record
- Scheduling, completion confirmation, photo uploads, approvals and ratings happen in one shared workspace.
- Keep reviews honest
- Reviews are never conditioned on positivity. Homeowners are not paid cash.
Getting started
Apply as a business. The team verifies each business by hand before it can send offers, usually within 48 business hours. Once approved, you set up the service and campaign terms and choose which homes to invite.
