BuilderCheck is the contractor verification platform built BY a licensed builder for homeowners who refuse to get scammed. Every year, U.S. homeowners lose over $9.3 billion to unlicensed and fraudulent contractors. The FTC logged 82,000 fraud reports in 2024 alone. The average victim loses $2,100 — and one in four contractor jobs is performed by someone working without a proper license. BuilderCheck fixes this. WHAT WE DO We verify contractors against state licensing boards, insurance certificates, BBB ratings, court records, and permit history — then make that information instantly accessible to homeowners. No more guessing. No more taking a contractor's word for it. No more $100,000 horror stories. FOR HOMEOWNERS - Find verified, licensed contractors near you - Real reviews from real homeowners with verified projects - See license status, insurance coverage, and permit history at a glance - Read "The Facts" — industry insider knowledge on the license-lending scam, red flags, and the 3-step permit check - Submit anonymous experiences to warn other homeowners - 30-day verification pass: $19.99 (one-time, no subscription) FOR CONTRACTORS - 100% FREE listing — forever - No lead fees, no paid placement, no fake "premium" tiers - Earned 5-star reviews and verified credentials are what move you up - Get found by homeowners actively looking to hire - Compete on quality, not on who pays the most WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT Unlike Angi, Thumbtack, and HomeAdvisor — BuilderCheck does NOT charge contractors per lead, sell paid placement, or rank by who pays the most. Our revenue comes from homeowners who want the truth, not from contractors who want to game the system. Built by a Charleston-area licensed residential builder with 27 years in the field
