PiEED helps organize contractor information, moderate public content and identify specific business details that have received an additional review. This center explains exactly what those signals mean—and what they do not mean.
PiEED uses separate language so homeowners can see what came from the business and what received an additional check.
Services, coverage areas, experience, license references, insurance answers, photos and other profile details may be submitted by the contractor and moderated for publication.
Publication does not independently confirm every claim.A verified badge means PiEED recorded an approved check for the exact item named on the badge. The profile shows the review date and any recorded expiration date.
It applies only to the labeled detail.A contractor can have one, several or none of these checks. Only active approved checks appear publicly.
Confirms the reviewed email is connected to the business.
Confirms the reviewed number reaches or represents the business.
Confirms the reviewed website represents the business.
Reviews the submitted reference against an appropriate issuing source when available.
Reviews non-sensitive evidence and a recorded expiration date. Coverage can change.
Reviews the business name against an appropriate registration source when available.
A contractor or administrator supplies a public reference or non-sensitive confirmation detail.
PiEED evaluates that specific item and may request clearer or updated information.
The check is marked verified, rejected or returned for more information. Submission never creates a badge automatically.
Only verified, unexpired checks appear publicly with their dates and safe public summary when available.
A time-limited signal stops appearing after expiration unless current information is reviewed and approved.
Reviews can be held for email confirmation and administrator moderation. An “Email confirmed” label means access to the submitted email was confirmed; it does not independently prove a transaction or project outcome.
An unclaimed profile can be connected to an owner or authorized representative through a separate review. Ownership approval controls account access; it does not verify every public business claim.
Use directory information as a starting point, then verify the details that matter for your project.

No. A badge means PiEED reviewed only the specific business detail shown on the profile. It is not a guarantee of workmanship, pricing, licensing status, insurance coverage or future performance.
Reported information was supplied by the contractor. Verified information has a separate active PiEED verification record for that specific item. Customers should still confirm important requirements directly.
Yes. Checks may have expiration dates and stop appearing when they expire. PiEED may also remove a signal if information changes or can no longer be confirmed.
No. It only means the reviewer confirmed access to the submitted email address. Reviews are moderated, but customers should evaluate the full profile and use independent judgment.
