Does this site currently certify contractors?
No. We provide contractor questions and review criteria, but we don't certify contractors, and we won't claim to unless a real vetting program exists and is disclosed here.

Clear written scope with line items and exclusions.
Evidence of insurance and appropriate licenses where required.
Before-and-after documentation and moisture readings when relevant.
Careful language around mold, structural, electrical, HVAC, and health claims.
Warranty terms that explain maintenance responsibilities.
