• The business phone number is active and reachable
• The business website (if listed) is active
• The business appears in one or more public directories such as Google Business, Yelp, Angi, or the Better Business Bureau

"Verified" does NOT mean that Treasure Valley Verified has personally inspected the contractor's work, confirmed their current licensing or insurance status, or endorses the quality of their services.
