The Verified Standard
What the Verified badge means.
Choosing who builds your home is a six-figure decision. Builders earn the Verified badge by clearing our checks, so you can spot the vetted ones quickly and find the best builders faster.
What we check
Four standards behind every badge
License & insurance
We confirm the builder holds the licenses their state requires and carries active insurance, and that both are in good standing, not lapsed or disciplined.
Reviews & ratings
We vet ratings and reviews from real, verifiable clients across trusted sources, not anonymous or incentivized testimonials.
A real portfolio
A verified builder has a track record of actual completed custom homes. No paper companies, no stock galleries.
No pay-for-placement
Rankings are earned through ratings, reviews, and verification. A builder can never buy a higher position.
Why it matters
Trust you can't fake, and can't buy
Most directories rank whoever pays the most. We don't. The Verified badge means a builder cleared a real bar on licensing, reviews, and portfolio, and it can't be bought. That's what makes it worth something to you.
