  • Overall Rating: Average rating from all contractor reviews
  • Payment Tags: Indicators like "Paid On Time," "Late Payer," or "Non-Payer"

  • Notifications: Get notified when new reviews are posted
  • Free Forever: Homeowner accounts are completely free

Trust & Verification

How We Ensure Trust

Our verification process protects both contractors and homeowners.

Business Identity

We verify contractors against official state business registration databases. This ensures only legitimate, registered businesses can use the platform.

License Verification

For trades that require licensing (electricians, plumbers, etc.), we verify active contractor licenses with state licensing boards.

Address Validation

Customer profiles are linked to verified addresses. This prevents people from creating fake profiles or escaping their history by moving.

Secure Data Handling

All verification data is encrypted and handled according to strict privacy standards. We never share sensitive business information publicly.

Fair Resolution

Dispute Process

We take disputes seriously. Here's how we handle them.

1

Submit Your Dispute

From your dashboard, select the review you want to dispute and explain why you believe it's unfair or inaccurate. Include any evidence that supports your case.

2

Contractor Notified

The contractor who left the review is notified and given an opportunity to provide their perspective and any supporting evidence.

3

Admin Review

Our team reviews both sides impartially, considering all evidence presented. This typically takes 5-10 business days.

4

Decision & Action

We issue a written decision. Depending on our findings, the review may be upheld, modified, or removed. Both parties can appeal within 14 days.

Our Commitment to Fairness

We comply with the Consumer Review Fairness Act. Honest reviews are protected, but they must be truthful. We never remove legitimate negative reviews, but we will act on reviews that are demonstrably false, defamatory, or violate our guidelines.
