How We Verify Contractors — Our Methodology
ReputationTiger is built for decisions where “seems good” is not quite enough. We organize public signals into a readable starting point, then make it easy to verify what you see.
01
Signals, not slogans
We look at review patterns, business history, claimed status, and licensing signals. We do not sell a higher position in the index.
02
Verification stays visible
When a license or board record is available, it gets its own place on the page. Missing data is labeled, never quietly filled in.
03
Context makes the difference
A roof in Phoenix and a roof in Portland are different jobs. City and state context helps you ask the right follow-up.
The short version
Use the number to scan. Use the evidence to decide.
Scores are directional, not a guarantee. We encourage every homeowner and business owner to confirm current licensing, insurance, scope, warranty terms, and references before work begins.
