I've heard stories about contractors scamming people, so I hired Buildzoom to avoid that. it didn't help. They provided a contract with an unlicensed contractor (it turned out he faked his credentials) and when asked for documentation of the credentials they supposedly had, they ghosted me. I've tried to pursue legal action against Buildzoom but they are hiding behind state lines. I wish I'd never heard of this company, much less done business with them. I would have been far better off finding my own contractor then relying on their false documentation.

NCR Construction has just completed demo, framing and prep for a kitchen/dining/LR remodel. He has been great to work with! He communicated well and kept us updated throughout the project, coordinated well with other contractors working on the job, brought in several others for us to consider, cleaned up at the end of each day, and did good, solid work. I am quite sensitive to people working in our home and am happy to say, Nate was very easy to have around from Day 1. He has a good mood, he was very considerate of our space, listened to our concerns and wishes for the house, and he's just an easy guy to work with. We highly recommend Nate.

This company did demo of a garage and adu foundation for me very happy with the work they performed.

Buildzoom is currently violating my right to privacy by displaying my business name, home address and private cell phone number publicly on their site without my permission. I went to their site to try to take down the information the fed me some spiel about public records. they also are trying to force me into participation with their business by texting some unsolicited agreement to me after I tried updating my information on their site. I did not enter into an agreement of any type with this company and will not fold to some guerilla style marketing tactic. as well my business information should not include any of my personal information. I have sent a cease-and-desist warning to this company and explore all legal remedies to end my company's presence on their site.

I was really happy to get this, fast service, too!

I was strongly encouraged(almost forced) by my franchise to utilize Buildzoom to find a GC for my small business project I was starting in 2023. Every time I was on a call with a BuildZoom representative I was invoiced for $1000. Yes, I said $1000, including the "the initial consultation call". I ended spending a little over $5K when I already informed my franchisor and BuildZoom that I have a vetted GC that I have been meeting with for months. BuildZoom told me I could put my GC through the process as well. Which didn't make sense considering I already vetted my GC and the service that was pitched to me is that BZ helps find GCs in my area(Maryland). After being underhandly pushed into using BZ I ended up with a contractor that clearly was not vetted by them. Because months later I found out the contractor I met through them was a crook. The contractor ran off with over $140K of my money and I know two other business owners that used BZ and found the same contractor. When I spoke with BZ about this I was connected to the "President" of BZ and was told they are not responsible for the actions of the contractor. I asked if I could get my $5K back that I paid for the service that BZ did not deliver and was told, flat out "No". They did send an email stating they were sorry for my unfortunate loss but I have had no recourse for the actions of the contractor nor BZ. This company uses aggressive sales tactics to lure you in and then quickly moves through your project so they can invoice you. I have never felt more violated or dismissed by a business. If you choose to use BZ to help vet a GC for your project make sure you do your due diligence. Make sure the contractor doesn't already have pending suits/judgements, doesn't have multiple business names, and hasn't filed for bankruptcy multiple times to avoid paying back any stolen money. Even after I made my claim with BZ they said they would take the contractor out of their program only to find the GC company was still sending in bids for more project several months after my claim. There was no real work done on BuildZooms part but I paid the price for their mediocre service. I am still trying to recover my funds from this contractor. Please beware of BuildZooms tactics, practices, and services.

You say you have permit history for consumers to view, but the permit search gets you nowhere. Useless.
