Welcome to HomeServicesReport.com (“Home Services Report,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of this website and all related content, features, tools, and services (collectively, the “Site”).

By accessing, browsing, or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must discontinue use of the Site immediately.


1. Purpose of the Platform

HomeServicesReport.com is an independent research, editorial, and evaluation platform designed to help homeowners make more informed decisions when researching home service businesses.

The Site may include, without limitation:

  • Business profiles and TrustScore™ evaluations

  • Educational homeowner guides, interviews, and research

  • Editorial commentary, analysis, and media content

We do not provide home services, quotes, estimates, referrals, guarantees, warranties, or assurances of performance. The Site is not a marketplace or brokerage service.


2. No Professional, Legal, or Contractual Advice

All information provided on the Site is offered for general informational purposes only.

  • We are not contractors, brokers, agents, or service providers

  • Content does not constitute legal, financial, construction, safety, or professional advice

  • Use of the Site does not create any fiduciary, advisory, or contractual relationship

Homeowners are solely responsible for verifying licenses, insurance, credentials, pricing, and suitability of any business before hiring. Use of this Site does not replace independent due diligence.


3. TrustScore™ Ratings & Methodology

TrustScore™ ratings are opinion-based editorial assessments, not certifications, guarantees, endorsements, or statements of fact.

TrustScores™ may incorporate a combination of:

  • Publicly available information

  • Voluntarily provided business documentation

  • Online reputation signals and review patterns

  • Interview-based insights and editorial evaluation

  • Authority, content presence, and professionalism indicators

TrustScores™ may change at any time as information evolves.

No TrustScore™ guarantees service quality, pricing, outcomes, safety, legality, or customer satisfaction.


4. Listings, Rankings & Editorial Discretion

  • Inclusion on the Site does not imply endorsement or recommendation

  • Listings, rankings, visibility, and positioning may change or be removed at our discretion

  • Rankings are dynamic and not fixed

Paid services do not override or replace TrustScore™ criteria, editorial standards, or evaluation principles.


5. Paid Services & Authority Packages

Home Services Report may offer paid services, including but not limited to:

  • Editorial participation or content creation

  • Authority-building or professional visibility packages

  • Media production and content distribution support

Important disclosures:

  • Paid services do not guarantee rankings, TrustScores™, leads, revenue, or business outcomes

  • Authority reflects demonstrated expertise and professionalism — not advertising spend or popularity

  • Participation in paid services does not guarantee continued inclusion or favorable editorial treatment

All paid services, when applicable, are governed by separate written agreements.


6. Homeowner Guides, Interviews & Media Content

Businesses that participate in interviews, media features, or content creation:

  • Grant permission for editorial use, publication, and distribution

  • Understand content may appear on the Site, social platforms, video channels, or affiliated media

  • Acknowledge content may be edited for clarity, length, or format

We retain full editorial control and discretion at all times.

You agree not to:

  • Misrepresent yourself or any business
