How certification works
Four stages. No shortcuts.
Complete the program
Work through the Tradesman Business Blueprint™ and implement the standards for pricing, paperwork, communication and warranty.
Pass evaluation
Submit real documents — a live estimate, contract, change order and warranty — plus verified customer feedback. We review the actual work, not a quiz score.
Earn the mark
Receive your digital badge, website seal, truck and window decals, framed certificate, and your listing in the public directory.
Stay accountable
Certification is renewed, not permanent. Complaints are investigated. The mark is only worth something if it can be lost.
What certified contractors receive
Proof a homeowner can see in three seconds.
The long game
We're building toward the day a homeowner types "Integrity Standard certified electrician near me" — and every contractor who isn't certified has to explain why.
That only works if the standard stays hard. So we'd rather certify a hundred contractors who deserve it than ten thousand who paid for it.
