The thing nobody tells you
On most directories, your phone number is the product.
Lead-broker sites charge contractors per lead, so the form you filled out gets resold to three to five of them — and a "verified" badge is just a graphic the contractor bought. Meanwhile, nobody shows you whether the crew's workers' comp is even active, which is the one lapse that can put the liability on you.
We built the opposite. Homeowners never pay, contractors never bid for your job, and every trust signal links to the actual government record.

Insights, field notes, and homeowner guides from North Carolina's grading, drainage, hauling, and contractor-vetting world.
DrainageYard Drainage in Durham, NC — One Office, a Low Threshold, and Clay That Won't Take Water
Durham's land-disturbance trigger is 12,000 sq ft — well below the statewide acre — and one joint office handles city and county. What that means for a drainage fix.
DrainageYard Drainage in Charlotte, NC — Diagnose the Cause Before You Pay for a Fix
Standing water in a Charlotte yard is usually grading, not soil. And in Mecklenburg County the patio you add to fix it can itself trigger stormwater review.
GuideNew Hanover County, NC: Land Disturbance Permits, CAMA, and the Coastal Stormwater Rules
New Hanover's land-disturbance permit starts at one acre — but CAMA is triggered by distance from water, and stormwater by 10,000 sq ft of impervious surface. Three systems, three triggers.
GuideEarthwork on the North Carolina Coast: Sand, a High Water Table, and the Permit System That Only Exists Here
Coastal NC is the one region with a second permit system. CAMA is triggered by distance from water, not lot size — and the soil is sand over a high water table, not clay.
GuideGuilford County, NC: Grading Permits, Watershed Critical Areas, and the Randleman Lake Rules
In Guilford County the grading trigger isn't only acreage — inside a Watershed Critical Area a permit is required regardless of size. Plus Randleman Lake buffers, surety, and the process.
GuideMecklenburg County, NC: One Stormwater Program, Strict Buffers, and the Bond Nobody Expects
Charlotte-Mecklenburg runs one unified stormwater program — but a stormwater plan triggers at 12,000 sq ft, stream buffers run 100+ feet, and land development requires a bond. What that means for your lot.
GuideEarthwork in the Triad: Red Clay, Reservoir Watersheds, and Permits That Follow the Water
Triad earthwork is Piedmont red clay — but the permit rules key off drinking-water reservoirs, not just lot size. Inside a Watershed Critical Area, a small job still needs a permit.
GuideEarthwork in Charlotte: Red Clay, One Stormwater Program, and Buffers That Bite
Charlotte earthwork is Piedmont red clay like the Triangle — but the rules are the opposite: one unified Storm Water Services program, strict stream buffers, and a built-upon-area regime. What that changes.
GuideDurham County, NC: Grading Permits, the Joint Program, and Triassic-Basin Clay
Durham's joint city-county erosion program triggers a land-disturbance permit at 12,000 sq ft — far below NC's 1-acre rule. Plus what Triassic clay changes, and the septic-to-sewer picture.
GuideWake County, NC: Grading Permits, the Subdivision Rule, and the Impervious Cap Nobody Mentions
In an active Wake County subdivision, a land-disturbance permit is required at any size — not one acre. Plus the 30% impervious cap, the permit process, and the Raleigh-vs-county jurisdiction split.
How we're different
Built on verification — not lead auctions.
NC Grade and Haul
The verification model
- Routed only to verified contractors — never auctioned
- Sorted by Trust Score, never by ad spend
- Verification = active license at nclbgc.org
- Reviews tied to verified permits
- Every claim deep-links to a government source
What homeowners ask first
The questions you have before you call
How is this different from Angi or HomeAdvisor?
Click any verified license on a contractor card and you land on that contractor's
actual record on the NC Licensing Board's site (nclbgc.org) — not our
screenshot, the real record. Do the same on Angi and you get an internal page that
says "verified" and shows you nothing. That deep-link is the structural difference.
If it's free for homeowners, how do you make money?
Contractors pay $79 a month for a listing. Verification is unpaid for — every contractor passes the four-source cross-check before they list and re-passes weekly. No contractor can pay to skip a check or hide a result.
What does the workers' comp check protect me from?
If a crew without active workers' comp gets hurt on your property, the medical liability can land on you. We surface each contractor's NC Industrial Commission coverage status so you can confirm it's active before anyone sets foot on site.
What happens to my info when I request a quote?
Your project details go to the nearest verified contractors — the ones already cross-checked against public records — so they can respond directly. We don't sell your data to brokers, and contractors never bid for it: they pay a flat $79/month to be listed, never per lead and never to outrank anyone. The directory is funded by those listing fees plus display ads on city pages.
