How SideKick helps you hire with confidence
We run a limited automated check on the credential documents contractors upload, let you hold payment in escrow until the work is done, and publish reviews from completed projects.
Credential Documents Checked
Contractors upload their license and insurance documents and we run an automated check before they can bid. It flags documents that don't look right — it is not a guarantee.
Optional Escrow
Choose to hold your payment safely through the platform until the work is done — or pay the contractor directly. It's your call.
Reviews From Completed Projects
Feedback is tied to projects that actually ran on SideKick, so a review means someone really hired that contractor.
Local Professionals
Built specifically around Long Island contractors who serve your town.
What our check does and doesn't do: we review the documents a contractor uploads. We do not confirm legal validity, whether a license or policy is still current, or that the cover is in force. Always verify license status and insurance directly with the contractor and their insurer before you hire.
