Every pro on this site
earns their badge.
We don't just list anyone. Here's exactly what a contractor has to prove before homeowners ever see their profile.
Licensing verified
We confirm every contractor holds an active state license for restoration and general contracting work in every market they serve.
Insurance confirmed
General liability and workers' comp policies are checked annually. We require proof of coverage before listing.
IICRC certifications
We prioritize contractors with industry-standard IICRC certifications in Water Damage Restoration, Applied Microbial Remediation, and Fire & Smoke Restoration.
Background checks
Ownership and key staff pass a background screening before a company can display the Verified badge.
Review monitoring
We continuously monitor reviews on Google, BBB, and our own platform. Contractors falling below a 4.0 rating are paused for re-review.
Complaint response
Any unresolved homeowner complaint triggers an internal investigation. Contractors who fail to make things right are removed.
