Protecting Homeowners with Our Rigorous Contractor Verification
Every year, thousands of homeowners are taken advantage of by unlicensed, uninsured, or simply unqualified contractors. Bad bathroom remodels cost homeowners billions of dollars and countless hours of stress.
BathEstimates.com exists to change that. We've built the most rigorous contractor verification process in the bathroom remodeling industry, so you can browse, compare, and book with complete confidence.
Every contractor in our network has been personally reviewed by our verification team — not just an algorithm. We check licenses, insurance, backgrounds, references, and ongoing performance so you don't have to.
Our 5-Step Verification Process
Every contractor must pass all five steps before earning the BathEstimates.com Verified badge. There are no shortcuts.
License & Insurance Verification
We verify that every contractor holds a current, valid state contractor's license and carries adequate general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We check directly with state licensing boards and insurance carriers.
Background Screening
All contractors and their key employees undergo comprehensive criminal background checks through our certified screening partner. We look for any history that could put homeowners at risk.
Portfolio & Quality Review
Our team reviews completed project portfolios, inspects before-and-after photos, and evaluates the quality of workmanship. We look for consistency, attention to detail, and professional-grade results.
Reference & Review Verification
We contact past clients directly to verify satisfaction with the contractor's work, communication, timeline adherence, and professionalism. We also verify the authenticity of online reviews.
Ongoing Performance Monitoring
Verification isn't a one-time event. We continuously monitor contractor performance through homeowner reviews, complaint tracking, and annual re-verification to ensure standards are maintained.
