How to use the directory, what the information means, and what to check next.
How does this help me choose who to call?
Compare available company details, permit history and Google ratings in one place. Open the profiles you want to investigate, note what still needs checking, and use the company website or business contact link where available. You can browse without signing up.
Why use this alongside Google or a company website?
We match local city permit records to companies and bring that information together with Google ratings and the status of other evidence. This gives you another source to investigate before contacting a business. Company websites and conversations are still useful for current services, availability and documents.
Does a listing mean you recommend the company?
No. The Austin list is alphabetical, and company scores are not published yet. A profile brings available records and evidence gaps together so you can make your own comparison. A listing is not an endorsement.
Which parts of Texas does the directory cover?
Austin is the first available city. More Texas cities will be added as their local evidence is ready. Browse Austin companies.
What does Unknown mean on a company profile?
It means we do not have the evidence needed to mark that category on record. It does not establish that a company lacks insurance, offers no warranty or does poor work. Use the gap to decide what documentation to ask for.
Does permit history prove the quality of a repair?
No. It shows the local permit activity we could attribute to the company within the stated place and period. It does not establish the quality of every repair or tell you what work your home needs.
Can I compare repair prices here?
The Austin cost guide helps you understand the questions behind a price and compare written repair scope. The directory does not provide a quote for your home. If you are still deciding where to start, read the independent engineer guide.
Can companies pay for a better position?
The company list is alphabetical. Any paid placement will be labeled as sponsored, and payment will not change a company score. Claiming a listing, submitting evidence and requesting corrections are free.
How do I report an error or add context?
Homeowners and companies can use the corrections and right-of-reply page. Include the page link, what needs correcting and a source or document that helps us check it. Please remove homeowner names, home addresses and other private details from supporting documents.
