How It Works
Finding the right pro should feel like asking a neighbor.
We built Tradekind because homeownership is hard enough without having to gamble on who shows up at your door. Here's how we make sure you never have to.

Four steps. Zero guesswork.

We've already done the vetting
Every professional in our network has been reviewed by a real person — not just rated online. We verify licenses, check insurance, and talk to past clients before anyone earns a Tradekind badge.
Licensed. Insured. Personally reviewed.
Connect directly
No middleman, no bidding wars. You see the pro's full profile — their trade, county, experience, and contact info — and reach out on your terms.
Phone, email, or website. Your choice.
Work with someone accountable
These are your neighbors. They live and work in the same communities you do. Their reputation is on the line every single time they show up.
Local. Accountable. Invested in your community.
The Tradekind badge isn't automatic.
We're selective by design. Every pro who joins our network goes through a personal review — not an algorithm.
License verification
We confirm active trade licenses with the relevant state or county authority.
Insurance confirmation
General liability and workers' comp are verified before any badge is issued.
Reference checks
We speak with past clients to understand how a pro communicates and delivers.
Community standing
We look at how a pro is known in their local area — not just their star rating.
Ongoing accountability
Badges can be revoked. We monitor feedback and act on concerns from homeowners.
