Don't Risk Your Home's Equity

⚠️

Mechanic's Liens

In Cleveland, if an unverified contractor doesn't pay their supplier, **you** are liable. The supplier can place a lien on your home, forcing you to pay for materials twice.

🏗️

Mandatory Tear-Downs

If work is done without inspection in Cleveland, you may be forced to tear down walls or decks to prove compliance. The cost to 'do it twice' is astronomical.

🏚️

Property Damage Caps

If a cheap pro drops a tree on your roof, they can't pay for it. You pay the deductible and higher premiums. Verified Pros have General Liability for this exact reason.
