THE PROBLEM
Homeowners Get Burned by Unvetted Contractors Every Day
Every year, thousands of homeowners lose money, sometimes tens of thousands, because they hired a contractor without proper vetting. Fake licenses, lapsed insurance, fabricated references, and hidden legal problems are more common than you think.
The average homeowner doesn't know what to check, where to look, or what questions to ask. By the time problems surface, contracts are signed and deposits are paid.
Key Risks
- Over 70% of contractor complaints involve unlicensed or underinsured workers
- Homeowners lose an estimated $50 billion annually to contractor fraud
- Most contractor disputes could be avoided with proper upfront screening
- State licensing boards revoke hundreds of contractor licenses each year
