What we check, how far each check reaches, and what it does not prove.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This is what we have checked in Inverness so far. Every contractor we found is shown here, not ranked.

Yes. Inverness enforces active licensure and insurance requirements. Ask any contractor for their registration number and verify it at the IL state licensing website before signing a contract.
Kitchen remodels involving electrical upgrades, plumbing relocation, or structural changes require a permit. Minor work (cabinet refacing, countertop replacement, appliance swaps) generally does not. A licensed contractor will determine which permits apply and pull them on your behalf.
In Illinois, contractor licensing is tracked by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). You can look up any contractor's license status directly at https://idfpr.illinois.gov/checklicense.html. To file a complaint or check for consumer alerts, use the Illinois Attorney General's consumer complaint page at https://forms.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/Forms/ConsumerComplaints_ComplaintForm. Where our automated check reaches a state, we cross-check the business registry for the pros we list, and every listing shows what that check found.
