Homeowners asked, We listened: Now display if you are licensed and insured.

It's important that anyone you work with knows if you are licensed and insured.   It tells the person 2 things: (1)  Being licensed is necessary in some trades to show to the client you are competent and permitted to conduct business in the location the licensed was issued.  (2)  Being insured gives everyone peace of mind knowing that if someone gets hurt on the job, that the claim will get filed against the company insurance and not the homeowners.

Make sure you login to update your profile today with your license and insurance information.

How KnackThat got started.

KnackThat was founded by people who wanted to create a better experience for homeowners trying to find quality tradespeople. We believe the best way to find a tradeperson is to do a little research, schedule a in-home estimate (or a few for comparison), then make your decision on who is the best for the job. We wanted to make this process easy and simple...and with that the KnackThat was born. We are extremely excited about the site, we love it and we hope you love it too.
