About
I moved to San Carlos in 2020 and reside in a house built in the 1940s, much like most of the houses in the area. Since then, I have hired multiple contractors, electricians, handymen, plumbers, structural engineers, architects, etc. Some of them were very good, some were expensive, and I had some very bad experiences.
Recently, I attended a few parties where I saw newly moved-in neighbors asking for references. I wish I had a list to refer to and share with them all the great skilled tradesmen I had worked with.
Searching for a tradesman can be a daunting and time-consuming task. I’ve tried searching on Yelp, Google, Thumbtack, and asking for references on Nextdoor and Facebook groups. I have found that the best results came from my neighbors. To save some time and stress for my neighbors, I am putting together a list to distribute in the community. It will include verified work done in the neighborhood that I and my neighbors rely upon.
How verification works: I add providers after checking local homeowner references. For licensed trades, I also review license information and other public records when relevant. Each provider profile shows the license details I have published and a last verified month.
Listings are not paid placements. Contractor Reports are a separate homeowner service, and being listed here does not guarantee a positive report.
If you have any questions or need more information, feel free to reach out. Let’s make our community an even better place together!
How We Verify
Providers are added based on local homeowner references. For licensed trades, I review license information and other public records when relevant, and each profile shows the published license details plus a last verified month. Listings are not paid placements.
