The job board on directory.nwatrades.com is live. It’s a free, no-login bulletin board built for two kinds of posts: homeowners with a project (a bathroom remodel, a deck rebuild, a gutter repair) and trade pros looking for sub work or crew (a tile sub for a bathroom package, an HVAC changeout crew, a make-ready punch-list runner).
Right now the board carries labeled sample listings while it gets off the ground, ranging from a $450 gutter-and-fascia repair in Springdale to a $25,000 down-to-the-studs bathroom remodel in Bella Vista. Real postings replace the samples as they come in.
How it works: post through the board, and it gets forwarded to you. There’s no bidding system, no accounts, no fees. It’s a bulletin board, not a marketplace, which means The NWA Trade Guide isn’t a party to any deal made through it, doesn’t vet posters, and doesn’t guarantee any work gets done. If you’re hiring, that’s still on you to check: Arkansas requires a state contractor license for residential work over $2,000 and most commercial work of $50,000 or more, and you can verify any license free through the Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board.
Practical takeaway: If you’ve got a project or you’re chasing sub work, this costs nothing to try. If you’re hiring someone found through the board (or anywhere else), verify their license before you sign anything, that’s a two-minute check, not a favor you’re asking for.
Local relevance: Built specifically for Washington and Benton county trade work, not a national gig-app clone. Listings currently span Bella Vista, Fayetteville, Springdale, and Rogers.
