Three checks before any pro is listed.
Verification is the whole point of CertiTrades. Here’s exactly what it means.
Active license
We confirm a current license appropriate to the trade and jurisdiction — not a self-reported claim.
Current insurance
We verify a valid certificate of insurance so you’re covered if something goes wrong.
Genuine reviews
We screen review history for authenticity so ratings reflect real homeowners.
What verification gets you
- Only license-checked, insured contractors ever appear in search.
- The verified badge is earned — it can’t be bought or self-claimed.
- Your quote is exclusive to one pro and never resold.
- Lapsed credentials pause a listing automatically.
Verification questions
What exactly do you verify?
We confirm an active license appropriate to the trade, current liability insurance, and that the contractor’s reviews are genuine before listing them.
How often is verification re-checked?
Verification is re-checked on an ongoing basis. If a license lapses or insurance expires, the pro is paused until it’s resolved.
Do you sell my information?
No. Your request goes to a single verified contractor, exclusively. We never resell homeowner details.
