Why Contractor Verified Only Accepts a Fraction of Contractor Applicants

We turn down a lot of contractors. That's not an accident — it's the whole point. Here's what our vetting process actually looks like, and why we believe the most valuable thing we can offer homeowners and realtors is a shorter list of better options.

What we check before anyone joins the network

• Active Texas state license for licensed trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC)

• Proof of general liability insurance — minimum coverage verified

• Work history and reference check

• Portfolio review for trades where quality is visual (tile, flooring, cabinetry)

• Communication and responsiveness test — because a contractor who ghosts us will ghost your client too

Why exclusivity is the product

Most contractor directories let anyone list for a fee. We don't. The value of Contractor Verified to the homeowner and the realtor is that the work has already been done. When you search our network, you're not filtering through hundreds of unknowns — you're choosing from a curated group of Austin professionals we'd send to our own homes.

That standard is what makes our network worth trusting. Learn more at contractorverifiedatx.com.
