VERIFICATION

What verification badges mean

Some provider listings may display verification badges for specific information that has been reviewed by NeighborSource.

BEFORE YOU HIRE

NeighborSource is a directory, not a guarantee

NeighborSource helps organize local provider information and community recommendations. You are still responsible for deciding whether a provider is right for your needs.

Before hiring someone, consider confirming pricing, availability, experience, licensing, insurance, permits, references, and any other information important to the work being performed.

Community recommendations and verification badges should be considered useful information, not a guarantee or endorsement.
