Really? I doubt that VERY much
They're few things I wont put on the internet, as of yet, as this is the sort of key information big companies are looking for. I think this is what stopping the big boys from creating such a website.
But this is what holding me back a bit. I dont smoke but I may need few boxes of smokes for this part:
If you go for the first option you would have no idea of the actual materials used and stand to get ripped off left right and centre. The only way to verify materials used would be to make regular site visits which would insult the contractor, or install it yourself.
If you go for the second option you are not bypassing the awkwardness of a job, you are becoming the awkwardness in a job.
It's a non starting business model. I'm sorry it's not what you want to hear, but at the end of the day it's just another middleman service, and probably the most poorly thought out idea for one at that.
