ONE RECOMMENDATION PER CLIENT · PER BUSINESS

Would you recommend this professional?

You can recommend a business after receiving a quote, completing a consultation, or having work finished. You can recommend several businesses for the same project—even if you only hired one.

What these counts mean

Recommendations are positive experiences, not overall satisfaction ratings or proof of completed construction. Only firsthand, completed interactions qualify; submissions remain pending until independently reviewed. No paid recommendations.

Checking account…

Recommendations are reviewed before counting. You may withdraw yours at any time. Account registration is not identity verification.

SAFE HIRING CHECKLIST

Protect your project.

1. Check the license

Confirm identity, active status and the correct trade classification with CSLB directly.

2. Compare real bids

Ask for at least three written bids with the same scope, materials and schedule.

3. Agree in writing

Verify insurance, permits, payment milestones, and a legally appropriate contract before work starts.

For general consumer protections, see CSLB’s contractor hiring guidance. Project-O-Dex is not affiliated with CSLB or the State of California.

FOR LICENSED CONTRACTORS · NO PAYMENT REQUIRED

Request an opt-in professional profile.

Apply to be considered for a local directory listing. You won't be displayed until the license and business information have been manually reviewed. We don't claim automatic identity verification.
