At Oneflare, we work hard to ensure that we are listing only the highest quality businesses to quote on your jobs.
While we do have a baseline verification process in place to ensure that businesses on the Oneflare platform are controlled, vetted and of good quality, we do encourage customers to undertake their own research before engaging a service provider. We suggest reviewing the business’ profile on Oneflare and conducting further research through the relevant government agencies.
Depending on where you reside and the nature of your job, you should keep in mind that various service providers may require specific licenses, insurances and/or certificates to carry out specific types of work
To make it easier for you to understand what is required in your state, we have put together a list of our most popular trades and the relevant certificates and licenses they require to operate. That way, you know exactly what to ask for when choosing which quote best suits you.
