Placement follows an independent, un-buyable Trust Score, not an ad budget. Each pro is scored from state license records, review sentiment from Google and Reddit, and our own verified homeowner reviews. A pro cannot pay to rank above a higher-scoring competitor, so the top of the list is earned, not bought.

Confirm an active state license, ask for proof of liability insurance, and get itemized written quotes that break out labor, materials, permits, and warranty. Look at real photos of past work, compare the pro's Trust Score with an independent look at Reddit, and be wary of anyone who wants a large deposit up front or quotes major work sight-unseen.

Ask for their license number and verify it directly on the state board's site, never rely on a screenshot or a written claim. In Texas most trades are licensed by TDLR, and plumbers by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. Confirm the license is active with no disciplinary actions.

No. We are not a lead broker. Browsing is private, and when you request quotes your job goes only to the verified local pros we match you with. We never auction your contact details to whoever bids the most.

No. Payment cannot move a Trust Score by even one point, hide a negative signal, or buy a higher ranking. Paying us never changes where a pro appears.

A star rating is an average of whoever left a review. A Trust Score is an independent, un-buyable number from 0 to 100 built from state license verification, review sentiment from Google and Reddit, our own verified reviews, and responsiveness signals. Recent reviews weigh more, a small number of reviews counts less than a large one, and no one can pay to change it.
