What you can check before you hire

You don't need an account to use any of these. They run on public records and our own checks, so you can look into a contractor the way you would if you had time to pull the files yourself.

  • Get quotes from the right companies

    Tell us about your project and we'll match you with local companies that work in your area and take on jobs your size. You fill out one form instead of calling around, and you won't get a pile of businesses phoning you at dinner.

  • Look up any contractor's track record

    Search a company and see what the public record says about them. You'll get the permits they've pulled, where they work, whether their NC license is current, and how often their work passes inspection.
