How we select and verify installers

What we check, what we don't yet, and how we label the difference.

Matching network

Before an installer receives homeowner requests through our matching service, we screen for:

  • An active contractor's license and insurance in the states they serve.
  • A minimum review score and review count across public platforms.
  • A written workmanship warranty of at least 10 years.
  • No pattern of unresolved licensing-board complaints.
  • Sales practices — companies with repeated high-pressure or bait-and-switch complaints are removed.

Vetting reduces risk; it is not a guarantee. Always confirm the license, insurance and warranty in writing, and get more than one quote.

Directory listings

The installer directory is separate. It starts from publicly available information — company name, headquarters, founding year, website and a neutral description. We deliberately show ratings, reviews, certifications and license numbers as not yet verified until we've checked them against primary sources. We do not publish stock photos as a company's project work, and we do not invent missing data.

Corrections

If a listing is wrong or out of date, tell us and we'll fix or remove it.
