Our Story

Not Some
Coastal Elite.

We're a family-owned team based in the Midwest. We built this platform because we were tired of pay-to-play directories that cash checks instead of verifying credentials.

Our Mission

Midwest Values.
Honest by Design.

We aren't a venture-backed data mining operation. We are a family-owned team based in the Midwest. We believe in: Honesty, Integrity, and Hard Work.

"We prioritize companies that are Above Board. That means we've verified them properly — not just cashed their check."

When you use AboveBoardPros, you are supporting a vision of the internet that is transparent, fair, and helpful. Every contractor on our platform has been screened against active state licensing databases — not just at signup, but on an ongoing basis.

We don't believe in spam. We don't believe in pay-to-rank. We don't believe in charging homeowners to access a marketplace that's supposed to serve them.

🛡️
Verified First
No contractor reaches a homeowner without passing our license and insurance screen.
🤝
No Pay-to-Play
Contractors can't buy rankings. Homeowners can't be sold. We earn revenue from fair lead pricing.
📍
Midwest Focused
We're building this market by market, the right way — not sprinting to 50 states with a broken product.
🔍
Transparent
We show you why each contractor was matched. No black-box algorithms. No hidden fees.
Our Process

How We Screen Every Contractor

Every pro on AboveBoardPros passes a multi-step verification before being connected to any homeowner.

1
State License Check
Cross-referenced against active state contractor licensing databases in MO, KS, OH, IN, and TN.
2
Insurance Verification
We require and validate current general liability and workers' comp certificates.
3
Business History Review
BBB standing, complaint history, and years in business are all reviewed before approval.
4
Ongoing Monitoring
License status is re-checked continuously. Expired or flagged contractors are removed immediately.
