How ParishWorks works

Who this is for

Anyone living in the Inland Empire — San Bernardino and Riverside counties — is welcome to search this directory and hire the people listed here. You do not need to belong to a parish, or to any church at all. Parishes are simply how the listings are organized, and how the workers here show where they are from.

Looking to hire someone

  1. 1Search or browse by trade or parish. No account, ever, for browsing.
  2. 2Open a listing and send a message through the contact form.
  3. 3The worker gets a notification and replies. You get a private link to the conversation by email.
  4. 4Agree on the work directly with the worker. ParishWorks never handles money.

Safety and common sense

  • • Verify contractor licenses at cslb.ca.gov before hiring for licensed work.
  • • Meet in person and look at the work site together before agreeing to anything.
  • • Get a written estimate that lists materials, labor and a timeline.
  • • Never wire money, send gift cards, or pay large deposits up front.
  • • Ask for proof of liability insurance for any work on your property.
  • • Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, walk away and report the listing.
