Sharetribe Customization: Free Stone Installation Marketplace

We are building a free marketplace platform for the granite, stone, and countertop industry. The goal is to create a tool where contractors, fabricators, installers, and helpers can find each other, connect, and exchange messages.

I am looking for a developer with real Sharetribe experience and strong marketplace UX understanding.

Core functionality needed:

* User registration and profiles

* Worker/helper profiles with:

* Photo
* Location
* Experience
* Skills
* Availability status
* Contact preferences

* Contractor/business profiles

* Search and filtering by:

* Location
* Skills
* Trade type
* Availability

* User messaging system

* Marketplace-style profile browsing

* Map or location-based discovery if possible

* Ratings/reviews preferred

* Admin dashboard and moderation tools

The platform needs to feel modern, clean, fast, and intuitive. Mobile experience is important.

I need someone who can:

* Build a clean MVP quickly
* Customize Sharetribe properly
* Handle marketplace workflow customization
* Recommend the best structure and integrations for scaling later

Please provide:

* Examples of previous Sharetribe or marketplace projects
* Your level of Sharetribe customization experience
* Experience with messaging systems, search/filtering, and map integrations
* Your recommended stack and approach
* Estimated timeline

Bonus if you have experience building:

* Labor/service marketplaces
* Construction industry platforms
* Contractor/helper matching systems
* Stripe or payment integrations

This project has long-term potential for ongoing development and expansion.
