01
License
Review whether appropriate license information is available for the work and jurisdiction. Homeowners should independently confirm current, project-specific requirements.
How BuildSelect screens pros
The standards should be easier to understand than the sales pitch.
BuildSelect’s screening framework identifies the questions that may matter before a homeowner-directed introduction is even considered.
02
Insurance
Review whether insurance information is represented and ask appropriate follow-up questions. Coverage is not verified or guaranteed through this public foundation.
03
References
Consider whether references and recent homeowner conversations provide useful context for the proposed scope.
04
Trade experience
Consider experience relevant to the type, scale, and technical demands of a project—not merely time in business.
05
Past-project quality
Consider the clarity and relevance of past-project examples, while recognizing photos and examples do not guarantee a future result.
06
Service area & responsiveness
Consider whether a professional’s stated area and communication approach appear aligned with the project conversation.
07
Project fit
Consider scope, timing, working style, and practical fit. Fit is specific to a project and is never guaranteed.
Screening informs decisions; it is not a warranty, guarantee, certification, endorsement, or assurance of a contractor’s credentials, availability, price, workmanship, safety, or project outcome. BuildSelect does not currently conduct screening for real homeowner requests.
