READ THE RECORD. ASK THE QUESTION.

More than
a name on a list.

A useful shortlist should tell you what supports an entry and what still needs checking. Each comparison makes those sources and limits visible.

  1. Separate structural repairs from water-management work.
  2. Show the source and date behind each company record.
  3. Compare written scopes before choosing a contractor.
