Accountability

Why We're the Best

Finding a contractor who calls back, shows up, carries insurance, and can actually start on time is harder than it should be. We do that work so you don't have to.

What a typical search looks like

15–20

never call back.

The next 20

don't show up for the walkthrough.

The next 20

aren't insured.

The next 10

are booked 2–3 months out.

What's left is the short list we're willing to put in front of you.

Our screening process

What we check before anyone touches your project

Responsiveness

Do they call back and show up when they say they will?

Insurance

We screen for proof of insurance. [CONFIRM: exact coverage requirements / license checks]

Availability & fit

Can they start on your timeline, and have they done this kind of work before? [CONFIRM: references / past-work review]

Don't get burned.

We've seen contractors run off with deposits and refuse to stand behind their work. Our process is built to keep that from happening to you.

And when the work is done, we stand behind all of it with one call covering every trade. See our 2-year workmanship warranty →
