Neither package accepts a business with a bad public record — no exceptions, painters or otherwise.
Everyone we list gets promoted across our network, so listing a bad business
damages every site it appears on and every other business already on them.
Screening isn't paperwork, it's the reason the network is worth anything.
Painter Package — these are published on painter.city, so a prospect can read them. Don't sell around them:
• Locally owned and operated — no franchises, no national chains.
• Licensed by the state and carries liability insurance.
• Combined online rating of 4.8 or higher across three reputable platforms (Google, Yelp, BBB, Facebook, etc.). This is the one that disqualifies most people — check it early, before you spend time pitching.
• At least 1 year in operation.
• Not sure? Don't guess and don't sell — ask first. A bad listing costs us far more than one missed sale.
St. George Package — same standard, applied to any trade or business:
• Licensed and insured for whatever they do, where that applies.
• Reviews that hold up. A few bad ones is normal; the same serious complaint over and over is not.
• No pattern of unresolved complaints — people saying they were never made right is a hard no.
• In business long enough to have a record worth checking at all.
The upside: a painter who passes gets an independent Locally Proofed evidence report
published about them, included in the package. That's third-party proof of a
good record, which is worth more than anything they can say about themselves.
