BuilderCheck

Every contractor license-verified against state records. See permit history, insurance status, and real reviews before you hire. Built by a 27-year SC builder.

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.

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.
