How We Choose Our Contractors
Not just anyone gets into our network. We verify licenses, check insurance, run background screenings, and speak with past customers before approving any contractor. Here is exactly how we do it.
Why Vetting Matters
Most homeowner horror stories start the same way: someone hired a contractor who seemed fine, paid a deposit, and then watched as the project went sideways. The contractor disappeared. The work was subpar. The insurance was fake. The license was expired.
We built Siding Contractors USA because one of our founders went through exactly that in 2011. A siding contractor promised quality work, took a $4,000 deposit, and vanished after two days of botched installation. The "insurance" was worthless. The "license" was from another state.
That experience led to this: a network where every contractor is verified before they ever see a homeowner's phone number. We do the checking so you do not have to.
Our Six-Step Vetting Process
License Verification
We verify every contractor holds the licenses required by their state before they join our network.
Insurance Confirmation
General liability and workers compensation insurance must be active and sufficient to protect your property.
Background Checks
Business principals undergo background screening. We do not work with contractors who have fraud or theft histories.
Reference Checks
We speak with past customers and verify completed projects before approving any contractor.
Ongoing Review
Contractors must maintain quality standards. Poor reviews or complaints result in removal from our network.
Response Requirements
Contractors commit to responding to leads within 24 hours. Slow responders do not stay in our network long.
What Disqualifies a Contractor
We turn away contractors who do not meet our standards. Here are the red flags that result in automatic rejection:
Ongoing Quality Monitoring
Getting into our network is just the start. We monitor every contractor's performance continuously. Homeowner feedback, response times, project completion rates, and complaint history all factor into whether a contractor stays in our network.
