Request an endorsement from a builder or a sub you have worked with. The request identifies the company, city and state, jobs completed together, and notes. Confirmed endorsements appear as Builder Endorsements and Sub Endorsements on the profile.
Read that context and ask about comparable work. An endorsement does not establish a committed start or payment terms.
Profiles and Search results can show Licensed · GC, Workers’ Comp, and Liability badges. Keep the app’s disclosure beside those badges:
Coverage information may not reflect changes reported within the last 30 days; verify directly with the employer or insurer.
Check the license with the board responsible for that trade. For a North Carolina GC, use the official license lookup. Confirm insurance directly with the insurer. Use the workers’ compensation by state research to prepare the questions you take to the responsible agency or adviser.
Read why a credential badge is not verification.
