### Proven or claimed

- Proven A public record backs it. Source and date shown.
- Claimed The business says so, or sent the document itself.
- Not matched yet No matching record found yet. Not a finding against anyone.

## Proof to ask for before you hire

1.

### Look up their permits

Search the company name on the county or city permit portal. Recent permits that closed with a passed inspection are the clearest proof of real work.

2.

### Read reviews by date, not by average

Look at the last three months on two sites. A steady flow over years says more than a high score.

3.

### Match the license to the contract

The license holder on the state lookup should be the company on your contract.

4.

### Ask for two recent job addresses

Match them to permits, or ask to speak to those customers. Photos alone don't show whose work it was.
