How our contractor network works

We would rather tell you we can't help in your area than send you to a contractor we haven't vetted. Here's exactly how requests are reviewed and routed.

Verification criteria

A contractor is approved only after staff review. Completing an application does not make a business verified.

  • An active contractor license where the state or locality requires one, checked directly with the issuing authority, with the check date recorded.
  • A current certificate of general liability insurance (and workers' compensation where required), with the expiry date tracked.
  • Demonstrated marine construction experience in the work types they will receive.
  • A defined service territory and realistic capacity, so homeowners are not referred to a contractor who cannot respond.
  • Agreement to our homeowner-first standards: honest scoping, written estimates, and no pressure tactics.

Verification is a point-in-time check of documents, not a guarantee of workmanship, price or outcome. Always confirm licensing and insurance yourself before signing a contract — our guide on hiring a marine contractor explains how.

How requests are routed

  1. Every request is matched to a region by state and ZIP code using a published routing configuration.
  2. If the region has an active contractor relationship, staff review the request and — only if you consented — share it with one contractor.
  3. If the region has no approved contractor, the request stays in our internal review queue. We contact you to say so and suggest next steps.
  4. We track whether the contractor accepted and contacted you, so we can keep standards high.
