How we list installers

Where listings come from

Every listing comes from one of two places:

• Public records. Mostly state license records: the license number, type, status and the business name and city on file. When a business publishes its own phone number or website, we may show those too.
• The business itself. Installers who claim their listing can add what they do, their service area, a description and their contact details.

We don't buy lists of contractors, and we don't copy reviews or ratings from other websites.

What “unclaimed” means

An unclaimed listing was built from public records, and the business hasn't reviewed it yet. It shows only public business information: the name, city, state, trades and license details we found. The street address appears only after a business claims its listing.

An unclaimed business hasn't signed up with Wired Home Pros, so we don't send it quote requests and it isn't a partner of ours. If you ask for a quote from an unclaimed listing, your request comes to us, not to that business: we follow up with you and, with your OK, connect you with a licensed, signed-up installer nearby. The listing still shows the business's public phone number and website, so you can contact it yourself. An unclaimed listing doesn't mean anything is wrong with the business. It only means the business hasn't confirmed the details yet.

A claimed listing has been reviewed by someone at the business. A member listing belongs to an installer on a monthly BidGlory plan. We never present a business as a member, or as working with us, when it isn't.

How license details are checked

When a state publishes its license records, we look up the license and show what we found: the number, the license type, the status (for example active or expired) and the date we checked. Licenses expire and change, so treat that date as “as of”, not as a guarantee.

What we check, and what we don't:

• We check that the license appears in the state's public records with the status shown.
• We don't check insurance, bonding, workers' compensation, or local (city or county) licenses.
• We don't inspect anyone's work or vouch for its quality.

License rules differ by state and by trade. Some trades, like alarm systems or audio/video, aren't licensed at the state level everywhere. Always confirm a license with your state's licensing board before you hire.

When a record raises a question, a person reviews it before anything changes on the listing. We don't attach automatic labels to a business from court or complaint records.

Claim your listing

If you own or manage a listed business, use Claim this listing on your listing page. We'll confirm you speak for the business, usually by phone or email, and then you can correct the details and add what you do. Claiming is free. More for installers.

Correct or remove a listing

Anyone can tell us about a mistake. If it's your business and you'd rather not be listed, we'll remove it. Use the listing correction and removal form. A person reviews every request, and we may contact you to confirm you speak for the business before we change or remove anything. We'll email you when it's done, usually within five business days.

Removing a listing removes it from this website. We may keep a minimal record (the business name and license number) so the listing isn't recreated from public records later.

Data sources

Where we use a public data set, we credit it here, as its license asks.

• Illinois: License data for Illinois: IDFPR (Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation) via data.illinois.gov, ODbL. The data is available under the Open Database License 1.0.
• ZIP code locations: U.S. Census Bureau ZIP Code Tabulation Area gazetteer (public domain).

Other states' license details come from each state's public license records, linked from the license on each listing.
