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 official state contractor 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 state-record screen, with insurance verified where a certificate is shown.
🤝
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 Record Check
Cross-referenced against active state contractor databases in MO, KS, OH, IN, and TN.
2
Insurance Verification
Where a contractor provides a certificate of insurance, we validate current general liability and workers' comp coverage.
3
Business History Review
BBB standing, complaint history, and years in business are all reviewed before approval.
4
Ongoing Monitoring
Credentials are re-checked continuously. Expired or flagged contractors are removed immediately.
