⚒️ Built for contractors who don't cut corners

Stop losing to contractors
who cut corners
and disappear.

The Reality

The remodeling industry is broken for honest contractors.

If you've been doing this for more than a year, you've experienced at least one of these. Probably all of them.

💸

Chasing unpaid invoices

You did the work. You showed up every day. You delivered what you promised. And then the homeowner finds reasons to withhold the final payment. You spend weeks chasing money that's legally yours, with no system to back you up.

Avg. contractor spends 3.2hrs/week chasing payments

📉

Losing bids to cut-rate competitors

You price the job correctly — materials, labor, permits, insurance overhead. Someone else bids 30% less, skips the permit, uses inferior materials, and gets the job. The homeowner finds out six months later. You never get the chance to prove the difference.

73% of quality contractors cite underbidding as their #1 challenge

🤷

Floating materials costs

Cabinets need to be ordered 8 weeks out. Custom countertop slabs require a deposit. Lumber for framing needs to be on site before work starts. That's $15,000–$40,000 out of your pocket before you've received a single progress payment.

Avg. material float before first payment: $22,000

📋

Scope creep with no paper trail

The homeowner asks for "just a few small additions" throughout the project. You do them because you want the relationship to go well. At the end, they remember none of them and refuse to pay for the extra work. You have no documentation. They have no memory.

Scope creep accounts for 41% of contractor payment disputes

⭐

One bad review defines you

You have 50 satisfied clients who never wrote a review. One unreasonable client leaves a one-star review on Google and it tanks your rating. No context. No verification. No recourse. Competitors with worse work but more aggressive review solicitation outrank you.

67% of contractors say unfair reviews have cost them projects

🔌

Lead platforms that don't care if you win

Angi charges you for leads whether they convert or not. HomeAdvisor sells the same lead to five contractors. Houzz charges $299/month regardless of your project volume. None of them have any stake in whether you actually get hired — or paid.

Avg. contractor wastes $4,200/yr on unconverted paid leads

What You Actually Get

The platform built to serve both sides equally.

Every feature was designed with a question: does this protect the homeowner without disadvantaging the contractor? Here's what that looks like in practice.

You get paid — automatically

Escrow works in your favor too. When you submit milestone evidence and the homeowner doesn't respond within 72 hours, funds release automatically. No more homeowners sitting on approvals indefinitely. No more soft leverage through silence.

72-hour auto-release protects your cash flow

Materials paid to suppliers directly — you float nothing

Submit a supplier invoice with itemized SKUs and VeriBuild pays the supplier directly from escrow before work begins. Your cabinets, countertops, and lumber are funded from day one. Zero cash out of pocket for materials.

No more $20K+ material floats

Change orders handled automatically

Every scope change is documented, signed, and escrowed before you do the additional work. Submit a change order from your phone in 90 seconds. No more end-of-project arguments about who agreed to what. Every verbal request becomes a paper trail.

Eliminates the #1 source of payment disputes

Reviews tied to real projects — your track record is permanent

Every review is attached to a specific verified project. Fake reviews can't be added. Your 47 five-star reviews represent 47 real completed jobs — something a competitor with a newer Google profile can't replicate or buy.

Your history becomes your competitive advantage

Bad-faith homeowner protection with teeth

Three unfounded review requests from a homeowner triggers a formal platform review of their account. Homeowners who initiate a review and then go silent lose their ability to pause payments. You get a 24-hour first-response window before any payment hold is applied — the chance to resolve before consequences land.

System is neutral — not homeowner-sided

Your profile works everywhere — not just on VeriBuild

Your VeriBuild profile has its own shareable URL. Put it on your business card, truck wrap, email signature. Every homeowner you meet offline sees the same verified credentials, portfolio, and reviews that VeriBuild homeowners see. It replaces the portfolio website you never had time to build.

Your Protections

The system is neutral. Not homeowner-sided.

Every protection built for homeowners has a corresponding protection for contractors. Here's what that looks like.

⏱️

72-hour auto-approval

If a homeowner doesn't respond to your milestone submission within 72 hours, funds release automatically. Homeowners cannot use silence as leverage to delay your payment indefinitely.

🕐

24-hour first response window

When a homeowner initiates a review, you get 24 hours to respond before any payment hold is applied. If your response resolves the concern, the hold never triggers. You're treated as a professional, not a suspect.

📋

Industry standard as the quality benchmark

Quality disputes are evaluated against TCNA, PDCA, NWFA, and other trade standards — not homeowner preference. Work that meets the applicable standard cannot be disputed on aesthetic grounds alone. This is in writing in the homeowner agreement they sign before contracting.

⚖️

Bad-faith homeowner consequences

Three unfounded review requests triggers a formal platform review of the homeowner's account. Homeowners who initiate reviews and go silent lose their ability to pause payments. Their dispute rights are tied to their conduct — just like yours are.

📝

Your rebuttal evidence is weighted equally

When a review is filed, you submit your own evidence package — additional photos, industry standard references, inspection certificates, supplier confirmations. Your rebuttal sits alongside the homeowner's concern. Neither starts with presumed credibility.

🏆

Score-based benefit of the doubt

Master Contractors with a score above 90 get an expedited review track, a higher threshold for escalating to third-party inspection, and a cost structure on inspections that reflects their earned trust. Your track record works for you.

💬

Contractor-initiated review requests

If a homeowner is stalling on a milestone approval without cause, you can request a Resolution Specialist to reach out on your behalf. You're not stuck waiting — you have a path to action too.

✅

Proactive resolution rewards

If you offer a credit or repair within 24 hours of a review being opened — before any specialist involvement — the review is marked "resolved by contractor" rather than "dispute filed." Your profile stays clean. Your score stays high.

From Contractors

What it sounds like when the platform actually works for you.

★★★★★

"I used to lose bids to guys charging 30% less and disappearing after deposit. VeriBuild homeowners already know I'm verified and insured before we talk — I don't have to prove it anymore. I've booked $140K in new work in 3 months and my close rate is 80%."

Mike R. Master Contractor

General Contractor · Raleigh, NC · 12 yrs

★★★★★

"The materials payment feature alone is worth more than the commission I pay. On my last kitchen I had $26,000 in cabinets and countertops funded before I lifted a hammer. I've never had that before. I used to have a $40K credit line just to float materials."

James W. Growth Tier

Kitchen Specialist · Durham, NC · 8 yrs

★★★★★

"A homeowner tried to dispute my final payment claiming the tile wasn't straight. The Resolution Specialist pulled up the TCNA standard, looked at my geo-tagged photos, and closed the dispute in 6 hours. I didn't have to do anything. First time in 15 years a platform had my back."

The Math

What VeriBuild actually costs — and saves.

Run the numbers on a real project. Most contractors find the platform pays for itself in the first job.

Example: $50,000 Kitchen Remodel

Contract value$50,000

VeriBuild commission (4%)− $2,000

Materials funded upfront by VeriBuild+ $18,000 float saved

Time saved chasing payment (3.2hrs @ $80/hr)+ $256 saved

Lien waiver collection (est. 2hrs saved)+ $160 saved

Group insurance saving (annual pro-rated)+ $200 saved

Net benefit vs. working alone+ $16,616 in this project alone

Angi / HomeAdvisor comparison

Avg. annual lead spend (Angi)$4,200

Lead-to-project conversion rate22%

Effective cost per booked project$382

VeriBuild commission on $50K project$2,000

VeriBuild effective cost (at 64% win rate)$125 per booked project

Materials float eliminated

VeriBuild pays suppliers directly from escrow. You no longer need a $30K–$50K credit line to fund materials before your first progress payment.

Insurance savings (Master tier)

$600–$1,200/yr

Group GL and workers' comp rates negotiated for VeriBuild contractors. Available once you reach Master tier. Savings vary by coverage level and carrier.

Payment collection time saved

3.2 hrs/week

Escrow auto-release and milestone-based payments eliminate invoice chasing. That's 166 hours per year you get back — time you can spend on projects, not collections.

Commission at Master tier

2.5%

On a $50,000 project that's $1,250 — less than the average cost of a single unconverted Angi lead month. And you only pay it when the project is complete.

Referral bonus

−1% for 6 months

Refer a quality contractor who completes their first project and your commission drops by 1% for six months. Refer three in a year and you're effectively at 1.5%.
