How We're Different
What Makes TrustPatrick.com Different From A Random Search Engine Result or Other Online Directories?
When we go to a search engine and look for a contractor for our project, what we get is a random list of results. It's a mix of paid advertisers, random companies and online directories.
But how do we know if any of those results are honest, trustworthy and experienced companies in spite of what their reviews say? We don't! Reviews are certainly part of the equation when finding a good company, but only a small part of the overall equation.
If we take it a step further and click through to an online directory, we still don't know if those results are are honest, trustworthy and experienced companies.
Many of these online directories claim they "pre-screen" and "background check" the companies they send us. But do they? We can't say one way or another whether they do or not, or to what level.
But here's what we can say...
If these other online directories are so reliable, why is that when we perform background checks on the same companies, a vast amount of them are declined by TrustPatrick.com? Companies that would never, ever be approved to be listed on TrustPatrick.com are readily available on many of the other online directories.
That's a problem. It still requires us as users to be cautious in our choice of who to contact and who to do business with.
What's the point of providing an online directory if the results are still a crap shoot?
In the end, if we want to make sure we get a good quality job, we still have to do an in depth research on the reputation of the companies that are presented to us. That's a lot of work. Not insurmountable but still, a lot of work.

What makes TrustPatrick.com different is simple
At TrustPatrick.com, we believe that if we're going to claim to have a list of great companies, we should provide our users with just that. Great companies and nothing less.
We perform an in depth pre-screening process and a "Best Practices" background check on each and every company listed with TrustPatrick.com. All companies must meet our strict criteria in order to be listed as one of our recommended pros. There are no sacred cows. Not only that, but if they fail to uphold the reputation they were approved with, they're swiftly removed from our service.
When you search for a pro on Trust Patrick.com, we provide you with a refined list of distinguished companies that have a proven reputation.
Simply put, we've done all of the hard work for you.
We're also not a big corporation publicly traded on the stock exchange beholden to investors and a board of directors.
At TrustPatrick.com, we're here to please you, the user.
If you put your trust in us, our responsibility is to do our best to maintain that trust.
The bottom line: We wouldn't send a company to you that we wouldn't use ourselves. Period.
