Michael Carter
Operations DirectorRuns the verification pipeline — the licence, insurance and complaint checks every pro clears before you hear from them.
Michael owns the machinery behind The HomeMatchup Shield: the six-point check each contractor clears before they can be matched, and the yearly re-check that removes the ones who stop clearing it. He is the reason each verification on this site carries the date it was performed rather than a vague badge.
His team pulls licence status and insurance certificates from the issuing authority rather than from the contractor, on the reasoning that a document a company hands you is a document a company chose to hand you. Complaint history is checked at source too.
He also handles the unglamorous half of the promise — what happens when a matched job goes wrong and The HomeMatchup Promise has to be honoured.
What this profile does not claim
Michael is a real member of the HomeMatchup team and the role and experience above are accurate. You will notice what is missing: no licence numbers, no certifications, no former employers, no awards.
That is deliberate. We ask every contractor in our network to prove their credentials at the source before we will introduce them to you, and it would be indefensible to decorate our own profiles with claims you have no way to check. Where a team member holds a verifiable public credential, it will appear here with a way to look it up — and not before. Read the editorial standards, including the correction we published when this site failed that test.
The job will still be there next month.
It will just cost more, and you will be choosing in a hurry — which is how most people end up with the contractor they regret. Getting matched takes about a minute and costs nothing.
