Just clear answers before you hire. We call out what’s in good shape, what’s missing, and what doesn’t look right — all in plain Minnesota language. You’ll see how long they’ve been around, whether they’re properly set up to work here, and what level of risk you’re really taking if you move forward. It’s the homework most homeowners never have time to do on their own, done for you in under a minute. Hire with confidence, hire MNCC Verified.
