We pull the official license files, re-check them on a schedule, unpublish lapsed licenses, and label exactly what every specialty claim is based on. No pay-to-rank. No reviews we can't verify. Just the records — and how to read them.
18,682 contractors across Florida, California, Texas, Washington, checked against Florida DBPR (Construction Industry Licensing Board) and California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) and Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) files. Lapsed licenses get unpublished — most directories never look twice.
"Roster-verified" means we matched the business to an independent certification roster. "Self-described" means the signal is their own name or materials. We tell you which — nobody else does.
Listing order is never sold. When a Featured Partner placement exists, it's labeled. How we verify →
Month-by-month checklist for your state — roof, gutters, HVAC and more. Plus license-lapse alerts for contractors you're considering.
