How Contractors for Concrete screens contractors

Contractors for Concrete screens a contractor by reviewing six categories of business and project evidence before approving new marketplace access.

What an approved status means

An approved status means the contractor completed the application and Contractors for Concrete recorded the required screening checks. It does not guarantee workmanship, project availability, pricing, schedule, code compliance, or the outcome of a homeowner's project.

Check 1

Business identity

We compare the application with available business records and the company's public contact information so the organization and responsible contact can be identified.

Check 2

Insurance documentation

We request current general-liability insurance documentation and review the named insured, coverage dates, and other information shown on the certificate. Contractors must provide updated documentation when coverage expires.

Check 3

Applicable licensing

We review a license in the issuing authority's records when the contractor supplies one or when a license applies to the work being offered. A license check may be marked not applicable when the reviewed work does not require that credential.

Check 4

Project examples

We review recent project examples for consistency with the concrete services and geographic coverage claimed in the application. This review does not amount to an inspection of the completed work.

Check 5

Customer references

We request recent customer references and confirm that the contractor performed the described work. A reference check records the contact, but it does not predict the outcome of a future project.

Check 6

Sample written quote

We review a redacted sample proposal to see whether it communicates the project scope, price, payment terms, exclusions, change-order process, and warranty language clearly enough for a homeowner to evaluate.

Screening is a point-in-time review

Business information, insurance, licenses, personnel, and operating practices can change after review. Contractors for Concrete may request updated evidence, suspend marketplace access, or remove a contractor when information expires, becomes inconsistent, or raises a material concern.

Homeowners should still confirm current insurance and applicable licensing, review the final written agreement, check references, and make their own hiring decision before work begins.
