Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Building permits this firm has pulled, from public city permit data (work seen: Single Family, Unspecified). Evidence of permitted work, not a guarantee of workmanship or service quality.

Approximate locations of this firm's permitted jobs. Check whether they've worked near you.
Pulling a building permit means the work was formally declared to the local authority and opened up to official inspection, a sign of working by the book, which businesses that cut corners tend to skip.

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
Never pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemized quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
