Nancy's List makes sure everybody gets paid and nobody gets ripped off
Contractor owned and operated. We understand your business. Free contractor listings, leads and verification. Contractors always get paid. Customers never get ripped off. Nancy's list doesn't rate contractors, although contractors may rate clients and other less reputable contractor sites or apps.
We give contractors full control over their intellectual property (IP)

* There is no way to remove your landing page from Homestars other than putting up a literal 'Out of Business' sign. The landing page is created without your consent and without warning upon signing up for the app and Homestars grants itself a perpetual licence to your business name which will show up in Google search results forever. Traces of even clearly fraudulent reviews are maintained in perpetuity, implying strongarm tactics and bullying of negative reviewers. Only paid users may add a logo or otherwise customize the user experience
Website | Verification | Payments | Inspections |

Nancy's List | Contractors are verifid within 30 days of joining | Trusted Escrow | We inspect contractor worksites, offices, vehicles and equipment |

We realize your home is your prized possession and choosing a contractor you can trust is not always easy. The review system on many websites can be gamed by dishonest or bad contractors. We remove the risk for you by providing tools to minimize your financial risk
We verify every contractor on Nancy's List within 30 days of them joining. We inspect worksites, offices, vehicles and equipment. We meet people and get to know them. Nancy's List is contractor run so we know what to look for and what the signs of trouble are
Contractors always get paid. Customers never get ripped off
Payments are held in an Escrow account and are released to the contractor only upon reaching certain documented goals. Deposits are not permitted unless a contractor is fully verified. All deposits must be approved by Nancy's List
