Trust & transparency
How BuildMatch earns your trust.
BuildMatch is a curated marketplace, not a lead farm. We vet every contractor before a homeowner's address ever reaches them, and the ratings we publish are computed transparently from public review platforms with statistical adjustment. These two pages document how we do it.
Vetting
How we vet contractors
License, insurance, phone verification, reputation, and an approval gate before a contractor can ever be matched with a homeowner.

Methodology
How we calculate ratings
Aggregate ratings drawn from public review platforms and adjusted with a Bayesian shrinkage prior so a few outlier reviews can't tilt the picture.
