How We Vet Contractors
We're a matching service, not the contractor — so our job is to connect you with pros who meet a real standard, and to help you verify the rest yourself.
The standard we hold partners to
United Renewals works to connect you with professionals who are licensed and insured for the services they provide in your area. We and our network partners screen for the basics that protect you:
- Appropriate state or local licensing for the trade
- Liability insurance (and workers' compensation where required)
- A verifiable business presence and service area
- A track record of serving homeowners in good standing
How matching works
- You tell us your project and ZIP code.
- We match you with pre-screened local pros who serve your area.
- Those pros provide free, no-obligation quotes for you to compare.
Because contractor availability and credentials can change, matching is a starting point — not a guarantee. We're transparent that we may be compensated when you connect with a partner; see how we make money.
What you should always verify yourself
No matching service replaces your own due diligence. Before you sign anything, we recommend you:
- Confirm the license number with your state or local licensing board.
- Ask for proof of insurance and, for larger jobs, bonding.
- Get at least three written, itemized quotes.
- Read recent local reviews and ask for references on similar projects.
- Never pay in full upfront; tie payments to milestones and get everything in writing.
Report a problem
If a pro we matched you with doesn't meet these standards, tell us at support@unitedrenewals.com so we can review the partner relationship.
