How Screening Works
Four checks before any provider is featured. This is a baseline filter, not a guarantee — always re-verify credentials for your specific job.
Active business license
Featured providers must hold a current business license, checked against the state registry (California Secretary of State for San Diego metro providers, Missouri Secretary of State for St. Louis metro).
General-liability insurance
We ask for a Certificate of Insurance showing active general-liability coverage before a listing goes live. Lapsed coverage is the single most common reason a provider is removed.
Established review history
We look at a provider's public Google Maps record over time — sustained ratings across many months, not a burst of recent reviews. We do not host or write reviews ourselves.
One provider per category, per metro
Each service category features at most one provider in each metro area. There is no pay-to-outrank bidding between listings, because there is nothing to outrank.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about how the directory works and how to hire well.
How do I find a trusted home service professional?
Check the provider's Google Maps review history (a steady record over 12+ months tells you more than a handful of recent five-star ratings), ask for a current Certificate of Insurance covering general liability, confirm state licensing where the trade requires it, and collect written quotes from at least three companies before committing.
How are the featured providers on this site screened?
A featured provider must show an active business license and current general-liability insurance before listing. We feature at most one provider per service category in each metro, and our deepest verification work is in the San Diego and St. Louis markets. We still recommend re-verifying insurance and licensing yourself before hiring.
What should I look for when hiring a home service professional?
Insist on a written, itemized estimate before any work starts; verify licensing through your state's contractor or license board website; and confirm the crew doing the work is insured, not just the company name on the quote. Walk away from anyone demanding full payment up front or quoting without seeing the job.
What cities does Home Pros Directory cover?
Coverage spans 100+ US cities, with the deepest listings in the San Diego metro (17 cities including La Jolla, Carlsbad, and Encinitas) and the St. Louis metro (25 cities including Clayton, Kirkwood, and Chesterfield). Categories include house cleaning, deep cleaning, move-out cleaning, wood rot repair, lawn care, pest control, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical.
How much do home services cost?
Pricing depends on the trade, your home's size, and the scope of work — a recurring service visit prices differently from a one-time project, and emergency or after-hours work carries premiums. The reliable way to know your number is three written quotes from local providers with the scope spelled out on each.
How do I get quotes from home service providers?
Open the page for your city and service type, then contact the listed provider directly — there is no middleman fee and no account required. Request an itemized written quote, and compare it against at least two others for the same scope before choosing.
