500,000 CONTRACTORS REVIEWED.
ONLY THE TOP 5% MADE IT.
Not every contractor gets on My Licensed Contractor. Our proprietary vetting process looks well beyond star ratings, so the pros you're matched with are among the best in your area.
Reviews only tell part of the story
Finding a contractor usually means hours of reading reviews. Even then, you're guessing.
Most customers never post
A handful of loud reviews can't speak for hundreds of quiet, happy customers, or unhappy ones.
Reviews get old
A glowing rating from five years ago says little about the crew who'd show up today.
Stars miss what matters
Licensing, insurance and experience don't show up in a star rating.
What we look at
Our Trust Score weighs far more than reviews, and every contractor is held to the same standard.
Licensing
Active state or local licenses where required, and their standing.
Insurance and bonding
Proof of liability coverage and bonding where applicable.
Years in business
How long they've been operating under the same name.
Projects completed
Volume of finished work in their trade.
Reviews, in context
Ratings across multiple sites, weighted for recency and consistency.
Complaint history
Disciplinary actions and unresolved complaints.
Business registration
An active, registered business entity.
Professional presence
Consistent contact details, a real address and a working website.
