Hiring a stranger for your home is a leap of faith. It shouldn't be.
Search your ZIP
Results are ranked by real distance from your ZIP code — not by who paid for the top spot.
Check what's on file
License submitted, insurance current, profile claimed by the owner — it's all on the profile, in plain sight.
Call them yourself
The phone number is right there. We don't sell your project to five contractors — you pick who to talk to.
Keep the good ones
Save the pros who did right by you. Next time something breaks, your shortlist is ready.
What needs fixing?
From a jammed lock to a whole new kitchen.
You're letting someone into your home. Check their paperwork first.
A van with a logo doesn't tell you if the license is current or the insurance lapsed last spring. Every profile here shows exactly which records have been reviewed — so you can compare pros on facts, then call the one you're comfortable with.
A vendor bench you can defend to your owners.
Landlords, HOA boards, and facility teams: track license and insurance status across your whole vendor list instead of chasing certificates by email.

Badges you can take at face value
When a profile says "License Verified," it means our team reviewed the license information the business submitted. "Insurance on File" means we've seen a current certificate. No pay-to-play, no mystery algorithm — and we'll never claim a badge guarantees good work. That part is still your call, which is why contact is always direct.

Frequently asked questions
What is KnownPros?
KnownPros is a local service marketplace where homeowners, landlords, and property managers find licensed and insured pros — plumbers, electricians, locksmiths, remodelers and more — by ZIP code. Every profile shows which records are on file before you call.
Is KnownPros free for homeowners?
Yes. Searching, comparing pros, and posting a job to collect quotes are all free. There are no bidding fees and no commissions — you contact businesses directly.
How does verification work?
Businesses submit license information and insurance certificates, and our team reviews them. Profiles show badges for reviewed licenses, insurance on file, and confirmed ownership. Verification reflects records only — it is not a guarantee of work quality, so always confirm credentials before hiring.
What is the trust score?
A 0-100 score built from verified email and phone, confirmed ownership, reviewed license, insurance on file, and profile completeness. It cannot be bought, and every profile shows exactly how its score was earned.
How do I get quotes without calling around?
Post your job once with your ZIP code. It goes to up to 10 nearby matching businesses, and their quotes collect on one private page where you can compare prices, messages, and verification side by side.
How does my business get listed on KnownPros?
Create a free profile, or claim the one that may already exist for your business. Submit your license and insurance for review to earn verification badges — premium features are free during beta.
