HomeCrafto displays source records with different scopes, including licenses, registrations, municipal permits and community records. A source entry is not proof of qualification for your job. Before signing a work order or paying a deposit, homeowners should confirm that the contractor’s credential number is active, verify that the license classification covers the specific trade scope required for the job, and request a current Certificate of Insurance (COI) directly from the issuing insurance carrier. Independent verification protects your property and ensures compliance with local building codes.
