<img src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/dcr-apis/wp_contents/uploads/DCR-ADMIN/DSC00425.jpeg" alt="undefined" style="height: auto;width: auto"/> For Bay Area homeowners, hiring a remodeling contractor can feel like a gamble. Too often, people rely on online reviews that can be incomplete, biased or manipulated. Choosing the wrong company can lead to poor workmanship, financial loss and even safety hazards. That’s where Diamond Certified Resource comes in. It reduces risk for homeowners by giving them a trusted, research-based way to hire local contractors. The Rigorous Vetting Process Every Diamond Certified company has passed an independent, 12-step rating process that no company can buy its way into. To qualify, companies must: <ul> <li>Earn a customer satisfaction rating of 90+ on a 100-point scale</li> <li>Pass ongoing credential checks for insurance, licensing and business practices</li> <li>Maintain positive performance with customers over time (failing companies lose certification)</li> </ul> This approach goes far beyond star ratings. Instead of relying on unverified online opinions, Diamond Certified surveys real customers at random to get an accurate, unbiased picture of each company’s performance.
