So you're not the company doing the work?
Correct — this is an independent matching site, not a remediation contractor. Someone else does the actual work.
Is a matched provider guaranteed to show up?
No. Provider availability, qualifications, and response times all vary, and none of that is guaranteed by this site.
Can I just send a photo and get a diagnosis?
Rarely a complete one. Photos are useful for documenting what's visible, but crawlspaces, wall cavities, and other concealed areas usually need someone on-site.
Is it worth getting more than one estimate?
For anything that isn't an emergency, yes — comparing full written scopes tends to reveal real differences in diagnosis, materials, and what's excluded.
Whose job is it to check licensing and insurance?
Yours. Confirm the provider's credentials, insurance, permit responsibility, scope, and warranty before any work starts.
