Why this matters

The deposit you send today
could be gone tomorrow

You've saved for months. Got the quotes. Shaken hands. Then you transfer the deposit, and things start to go wrong. Unreturned calls. Delays. Shoddy work. Or they disappear entirely. It happens to hundreds of thousands of Americans every year. The contractor seemed legit. The price looked fair. But nobody checked.

Why Homeowners Check Before Paying

Most homeowners only start investigating after the money is gone. The point of a Wright Way Report is to do it in the other order.

Public Records Reviewed

We review publicly available records and risk indicators.

Private & Confidential

The contractor is never contacted or notified.

Independent Review

Reports are prepared independently and provided directly to the customer.

Delivered Fast

Most reports are delivered within 24 hours.

What a Full Background Check Includes

A complete, structured review of publicly available records, compiled into one clear report.

Full Contractor Background Check
⭐ Included in every report
  • Contractor license review
  • Lawsuit and court-record searches
  • Business registration history
  • Complaint pattern review
  • Bankruptcy and insolvency indicators
  • Ownership and entity connections
  • Risk assessment summary
  • Proceed / Caution / Avoid recommendation

Every check is compiled into a single report and provided directly to you.

One report. One price.

A deposit runs into thousands. The report that vets it costs $149, once, with nothing to cancel afterwards.

That's less than 0.5% of most renovation budgets to know who you're paying.

Secure Stripe checkout

They checked. They were glad they did.

Some walked away. Some went ahead with confidence. All of them knew before they paid.

★★★★★

"Used the full report before signing off on our home addition. Everything checked out and we actually felt better about going ahead. Worth every cent for the peace of mind alone."

James T., Austin, home addition
★★★★★

"Recommended Wright Way to my sister. She was about to hire someone with a sketchy track record and the report saved her thousands. Now our whole family uses it before hiring anyone."

Rebecca K., Phoenix, bathroom remodel
Saved a family member thousands
★★★★★

"The roofer we met with was WWR Verified and pulled up his report on his phone, dated that month. We'd planned on getting three quotes and honestly didn't bother. Anyone who has already opened their books to an independent check has told you most of what you need to know."

Daniel R., Denver, roof replacement
Hired a WWR Verified contractor
★★★★★

"After what happened with our deck, I won't hire anyone who can't hand me a valid Wright Way report. Two of the four companies we called had a current one ready to show us. Those were the only two we bothered meeting."

Michelle A., Tampa, deck and patio
Verified report or no deal
★★★★★

"Ordered it on a Tuesday night and had the report by Wednesday afternoon. The license was fine, the complaint history was not. We still used him, but on a staged payment schedule instead of a lump-sum deposit. That report paid for itself ten times over."

Anthony V., Sacramento, basement finish
🛡

A clean report isn't wasted money.
It's confirmation you're safe to proceed.

Either the check finds something and you dodge a bullet, or it comes back clean and you move forward with total confidence. There's no bad outcome when you check first.
