How We Verify Participating Home Service Professionals
ServiceFind Pros operates as an independent referral network connecting homeowners with local trade specialists. To foster marketplace integrity, participating professionals may be evaluated using licensing, insurance, identity, and business information. Verification requirements vary by service, location, and provider status.
1. State Trade Licensing Review
Where mandated by state or municipal law (such as for HVAC, electrical, plumbing, structural roofing, and pest control), trade license numbers supplied by participating contractors are screened against official state licensing board databases (e.g. CSLB in California, TDLR in Texas, DBPR in Florida). We encourage homeowners to independently confirm active license standing prior to authorizing work.
2. General Liability & Commercial Insurance
Proof of commercial general liability insurance may be requested from participating professionals where applicable to protect against accidental property damage during service calls. Coverage levels vary depending on trade category and local jurisdiction.
3. Business Identity & Operating Verification
We review public business records, corporate registrations, and business operating histories to verify the legitimacy of contracting entities joining our referral platform.
4. Transparent Pricing & Fair Quote Commitment
Participating contractors agree to provide upfront, itemized estimates before commencing chargeable repairs. Any platform, dispatch, or diagnostic fees must be clearly communicated to the homeowner prior to service delivery.
5. Homeowner Feedback & Quality Monitoring
We monitor ongoing customer satisfaction and dispute rates. Providers who fail to maintain responsiveness, adhere to safety standards, or honor their quoted terms are removed from the active referral network.
ServiceFind Pros is a matching and referral network, not a direct contractor or employer. Homeowners maintain sole authority in selecting and contracting with independent service professionals. Always request proof of license and insurance directly from any technician visiting your property.
