1. Directory results are a starting point
A listing helps identify a professional and the credential information VerifySweep has recorded.
2. Verification should point to the issuer
Where possible, credential claims should connect back to the organization that issued them.
3. No directory can guarantee workmanship
Credentials and verification add useful information, but homeowners still need to evaluate scope, documentation, insurance and fit for the job.
4. Verify the person
Pay attention to the named credential holder and ask who will actually perform or supervise the work.
5. Use independent judgment
For major repairs, combine credentials with clear inspection evidence and an understandable written proposal.
VerifySweep standard: Evidence should support the exact statement being made. A suspicious indicator is a reason to investigate, not a verdict.
