About OneBid
A Team Committed to Real Impact
To empower homeowners, contractors, and tradespeople with transparent pricing and eliminate the time-wasting negotiation process that has plagued home improvement for decades
We're Built Different!
OneBid isn't just another tech platform—we're a movement built by people who've lived the problem. Founded by a former contractor who left a six-figure tech career to build with his bare hands, and a digital marketing powerhouse who's closed deals with Fortune 500 brands, we understand both sides of home improvement.
We don't follow the broken bidding process everyone else accepts. We don't negotiate on our principles. We don't compromise on transparency.
We're Built Different.
And we're here to prove that homeowners deserve control of their budgets, contractors and tradespeople deserve respect for their time, and the entire industry deserves better than the way it's always been done.

Darryl Darks
CEO & Co-Founder
Former contractor and tech sales leader with an unconventional path from the tech world to the building site and back. After generating millions in revenue as an Account Executive and Sales Manager at companies like Yodle (acquired by Web.com) and Digital Pharmacist (acquired by K1 Investment)—where he wrote winning sales scripts, created pitch presentations, led sales training programs, and built scalable sales processes—Darryl left his six-figure tech career to build an A-frame cabin by himself in the Texas Hill Country.
He then founded Darks Design + Build, where he experienced firsthand the broken contractor negotiation process that plagues the home improvement industry. When multiple developers failed to execute his vision for OneBid, Darryl taught himself to code and built the platform himself.
His unique combination of sales expertise, construction experience, and technical skills makes him uniquely qualified to revolutionize the home improvement industry. He doesn't just understand the problem theoretically—he's lived it with hammer in hand.
