No More Contractor Guessing Games
Every contractor on VTS clears a licensing, insurance, and background check before they ever see your project. Every signed contract sends 5% back into the neighborhood — split between the referrer, the customer, a local housing charity, the platform, and the founder.
The Problem
Our Fix
1 project → 1 vetted pro. No bidding wars.
Homeowner funds escrow. Contractor gets paid on milestone approval.
Free TrueTrade Academy training that raises standards and reputation.

One request, one exclusive match — not a bidding war.
Describe what needs doing and where. No account required to get started.
We surface vetted, local contractors who fit your project — no shared leads, no spam.
Review verified licensing, insurance status, and reference history before you commit.
A signed contract, transparent pricing, and a fee that gives back to your neighborhood.
For Contractors
How We Vet
Every contractor clears all five before the Verified badge goes on their profile.
Trade, experience, and intent — the starting file.
State licensing board verification and current coverage on file.
Identity and background screening before any homeowner contact.
Standardized phone interviews with past clients — not a form they fill out themselves.
Vetting isn't one-and-done — status is reviewed to keep the badge current.
An Initiative of Vetted Trust Solutions
Free for Verified contractors on VTS. Available to the public for a fee — because good training should be able to fund itself.
$25 per course · $99 for the full 6-course bundle · free the moment you're Verified.
How Money Works
No big upfronts. No chasing payments. The homeowner funds escrow, held securely — the contractor gets paid when each milestone is approved.

Where the 5% Goes
Every signed contract carries a 5% transaction fee — split five ways, so the platform funds itself while putting something back into the neighborhood it serves.
