Are you a contractor?
No. This is a lead-generation site that forwards homeowner requests to an independent local provider — it doesn't do the installation itself.
Do you guarantee a provider?
No. Which provider picks up a given request, what they specialize in, how far they'll drive from Champaign-Urbana, and how fast they respond all vary.
Can a photo provide a final diagnosis?
Usually not. Photos are a helpful starting point, but they rarely tell the whole story — sill rot, frame square, and drainage issues usually need someone on site to evaluate.
Should I obtain multiple proposals?
If there's no rush, get more than one written scope — laid side by side, they usually reveal real differences in materials, prep, testing, and what's left out.
Who verifies licenses and insurance?
Checking credentials, insurance, required permits, the written scope, and warranty terms before authorizing work is the homeowner's responsibility.
