Kitchen, bathroom, or whole-home. Tell us about your project and we will match you with one licensed, background-checked renovation contractor.

Verified Renovation Professional Matching connects you with one renovation contractor who has already cleared our screening. Renovations bring together design, permits, plumbing, electrical, and finish work, and the contractor you choose determines how smoothly all of it comes together. You tell us about your project, and we introduce you to one verified professional. It is part of our Business Development Service.

Renovations go wrong when scope is vague and the contractor is unproven. A verified match means the contractor you meet has confirmed licensing, active insurance, an owner background check, and a rating record that meets our 4.5-star standard.

Whether you are updating one bathroom, reworking a kitchen, or renovating several rooms at once, you share your goals once and one qualified renovation contractor takes it from concept through the final walkthrough.

Four steps from a renovation idea to one verified contractor.

02

We confirm the fit

We match your project to one renovation contractor who serves your area and handles your scope.

03

You get one introduction

The contractor is briefed on your goals before reaching out, so the first meeting is about your project.

04

We follow up

After you connect, we check in to make sure the experience met our standards.

Verified before you meet

What we check on every renovation contractor

Every renovation professional matched through Handvetted clears the same verification before they can receive an introduction.

  • Active insuranceLiability coverage confirmed before the contractor is introduced to you.
  • Owner background checkThe person running the business is screened along with the company.
  • 4.5+ star standardContractors must maintain a strong rating record across verified review sources to stay matched.
  • Permits and tradesAsk your match how permits and subcontracted trades are handled. A qualified contractor has a clear answer.
Why it matters

Why one verified renovation contractor keeps your project on track

Renovations are where clear scope and accountability matter most.

Scope defined up front

A qualified contractor helps define the project before work starts, which prevents surprise changes later.

One point of accountability

Design, trades, and finish work coordinated under one professional you can hold responsible.

No bidding war

You start with one screened contractor instead of a rotation of companies competing on price.

After you are matched

What to expect after your renovation introduction

Here is how the first steps usually go once you are matched.

01

An informed first call

Your contractor already knows your rooms, scope, and budget range.

02

A site visit and scope

Expect a walkthrough to measure, discuss design, and define exactly what the project includes.

03

A written proposal

Ask for scope, materials, permits, and payment terms in writing before work begins.

FAQ

Verified Renovation Professional Matching questions

What does verified mean for a renovation contractor? ›

A verified renovation contractor has passed our checks before receiving any introduction: state licensing where required, active insurance, an owner background check, and a rating record that meets our 4.5-star standard.

Which rooms do you match for? ›

Kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and whole-home projects that include several rooms.

Who handles permits? ›

In most cases your contractor pulls the permits required for the work. Ask about permits in your first conversation so responsibilities are clear before the project starts.

Will multiple contractors call me? ›

No. Your information goes to one verified renovation contractor. If you ask about financing, one verified lending partner may also contact you. We never share your details with competing contractors.

What if the match is not right? ›

Tell us. If the match is not right, we will rematch you with a different verified professional. Getting matched is always free for you.
