The 210 Standard

What "vetted" actually means here.

Anyone can call a contractor vetted. On most platforms it means little more than a paid listing. So here is ours, in full: the 20 checks a pro passes before he holds a slot in this network, and the commitments he signs to keep it. Pros don't buy their way in. They apply.

The difference in one line

On a lead site, you're the product. Here, the slot is.

Twenty checks, four groups

The 20-point standard.

Every check below is run before a pro gets the slot. If a check can't be verified, there's no slot — there's a reason most territories have trades we haven't filled yet.

Licensed & legal

  1. Trade license verified with the issuing Texas board where the trade requires one (TDLR, TSBPE, TDA, TCEQ)
  2. License status re-checked every year, not just at application
  3. Texas business registration or assumed name on record and in good standing
  4. The name on the truck matches the name on the license and the invoice
  5. License-board complaint history pulled; unresolved complaints disqualify

Insured

  1. Current certificate of general liability insurance on file
  2. Coverage confirmed with the issuing agent, not just a PDF
  3. Proof of renewal required every policy year
  4. Crew coverage disclosed for any helpers he brings
  5. Commercial auto coverage on the vehicle that parks in your driveway

Proven in San Antonio

  1. Established local operation — years serving San Antonio, not testing the market
  2. Public review history pulled across Google and the major platforms
  3. Meets our rating and volume floor for his trade
  4. Three recent local customers called and interviewed by us
  5. Complaint scan: BBB record and public records reviewed

Signed & accountable

  1. Owner interview — we've met the human behind the business
  2. Signs the conduct standards: direct quotes, no lead-fee markup, no undisclosed subs
  3. Signs the 15-minute response commitment: a dispatched job gets acknowledged and the homeowner contacted within 15 minutes during working hours
  4. Consent-only contact: your number is used for your job, never for marketing
  5. Holds one slot, per trade, per territory — kept by performance, reviewed after every job
The other half of the standard

The mailing list is vetted the same way.

The pros pass twenty checks; the homes pass eleven. We apply every step ourselves, to every address, in this exact order, every time we build a mailing — we never take a data vendor's word for any of it:

Who lives there

  1. Owner-occupied only — no renters, no rentals
  2. Residential homes only — single-family houses and rural residences on acreage; no apartments, no commercial, no vacant land
  3. $400,000-plus estimated home value, every address
  4. Do Not Mail requests honored — permanently, no exceptions

Whether they'd hire

  1. Listed for sale or under contract — removed
  2. Liens on record — removed
  3. Owned less than a year — removed
  4. Absentee owners — the mailing address must match the home

Whether it's real

  1. Apartments and units — removed
  2. Whole ZIP codes below the network's value profile — excluded entirely
  3. Duplicate addresses — removed, one card per home

The same script that builds every mailing enforces every step — the list you're promised is the list that prints. What fails the screen is logged, and the count on the territories page is what's left after it, not before.

After the checks

The slot is earned monthly, not owned.

Passing the standard gets a pro the slot. Keeping it is a different test: after every job we ask how it went, and a pattern of complaints ends the arrangement. That's the answer to "how do I know he'll show up?" — every pro signed a 15-minute response commitment, and our promise to you stays deliberately conservative: usually within the hour, often much faster.

For home pros

The territory is a moat. If you hold it.

Everything above is the bar. This is what's on the other side of it: the only referral arrangement in San Antonio where passing a hard standard buys out the competition instead of joining it. Territory partners aren't advertisers we vet — they're the pros the entire homeowner promise depends on. That's why the standard runs before the invoice.

Your territory becomes your moat

Hold the territory and every job we route in your trade, in your territory, is yours. No shared leads, no bidding against four strangers, no competitor on the card. The only way a rival gets your territory is if you let the standard slip.

One territory, and it fills once

One pro per trade, per territory is the product — so when your territory fills, recruiting in your trade stops there and a waitlist starts. Passing the 20 checks is the door. Being second in line is the cost of waiting.

A referral file that holds up

Every referral is backed by dated homework: license verified with the state board, insurance confirmed with the carrier, references on record. That protects the homeowner, the network, and you — a recommendation nobody has to take on faith.

An offer homeowners actually take

Free, one name instead of five, a real local number, usually within the hour. That's the pitch that makes your phone ring — and we make it to your whole territory so you don't have to.

Twenty checks. One pro. Your neighborhood.

Tell us the job and the vetted pro who covers your neighborhood usually reaches out within the hour. Free for homeowners.
