How We Screen the Decks Pros We List
What we check, how far each check reaches, and what it does not prove.
State Record Cross-Check (Tier 2)
In the states our automated check reaches, we look the business up in the state business registry and read back its registration number and standing. The listing shows what came back and the date we checked, and it carries no registry badge at all where we have no result.
Insurance Certificate, Where One Is Provided
Where a contractor provides a certificate of insurance, we read the carrier, the coverage, and the expiration date straight off the document. We do not contact carriers, so ask for a current certificate before work starts.
Website Evidence Scan (Tier 3)
We read the contractor's own website for license and insurance claims and record what we find. This is the contractor describing themselves, so it earns a lower-confidence badge kept separate from a confirmed state record.
Public Business Signals
We pull BBB records, Google ratings and review counts, and years in business where those are available. These are context about the business, not a credential check, and we show them as their own signals.
Human Review for Partners (Tier 1)
Before an in-network partner account opens, someone on our team reads the state record and the certificate of insurance line by line. That review applies to partner accounts, not to every pro we list.
