Why We Exist —

The Industry Has a Trust Problem.
We're Fixing It.

For too long, homeowners couldn’t tell the difference between a certified chimney professional and a weekend scammer with a ladder. Legitimate chimney companies — people who’d spent years earning their credentials — were losing jobs to low-ball fraudsters. Verified Chimney Pros exists to close that gap.

The Problem We Saw

❌ Homeowners hiring uninsured strangers from door-knock flyers

❌ Scammers undercutting legitimate companies with fake $49 “specials”

❌ Real professionals losing business to unverified competitors

❌ No easy way for homeowners to verify who they were actually hiring

❌ Directories listing any company that paid — verified or not

The Standard We Set

✔ Every company in our directory passes a manual review — not just pays a fee

✔ Certifications confirmed against official records

✔ Active insurance (COI) verified before listing is approved

✔ Background checked owners and technicians

✔ Reputation and complaint history reviewed before approval

Our promise: If a company displays our Verified badge, it means a real person reviewed their credentials before that badge appeared. Not an algorithm. Not a form submission. A review.

The people this was built for

We built this for the chimney professional who showed up on time, did the job right, and still lost the bid to the company that knocked on the door first with a price they couldn’t actually justify.

Verified Chimney Pro

No shortcuts. No pay-to-list. Every step is reviewed by a real person.

01

Submit Application
Complete our detailed application with your business information, service area, and contact details.

02

Submit Documents
Provide your current certificate of insurance, professional certification numbers, and state license where required.

03

We Review & Verify
Our team manually verifies every credential — insurance, certifications, licensing, and background — with the issuing sources.

04

Get Listed & Badged
Once approved, your verified listing goes live and you receive the Verified Chimney Pros badge for your website and materials.

What We Verify —

Four things we confirm before any company earns the Verified badge

🏅

Professional Certifications
We confirm industry certifications through the issuing organization. Certifications must be current — expired credentials do not qualify.

🛡️

Proof of Insurance
Every verified company provides a current Certificate of Insurance (COI). We confirm active coverage dates — a verbal assurance is not enough.

🔍

Background Check
Owners and key technicians undergo background screening. We look for fraud patterns, criminal history relevant to home access, and prior scam complaints.

Reputation Review
We review complaint history, BBB standing, public reviews, and any documented pattern of deceptive practices before approving any listing.
