Profiles & Verification
A complete contractor profile — story, trades, rates, photos, posted work, reviews — plus document-backed verification.
What it is
A contractor profile holds the whole picture: your story, your trades, your rates and availability, your photos, your posted work, and your reviews. Verification goes further — in Settings you can submit government ID, insurance documents, and licences or credentials. TradeSpace reviews them. Claimed and confirmed are different things here, and the badge means confirmed.
Why it matters
For contractors, a complete profile is how clients choose you, and complete, active profiles stand out more in discovery. For clients, verification means someone actually looked at the documents — the difference between "trust me" and "TradeSpace checked."
Verification submission is live today. The display of confirmed badges on public profiles is still rolling out — submit your documents now so you’re verified the moment it goes live.
How to use it
For clients
- 1Open any contractor’s profile to read their story, trades, rates, work, and reviews.
- 2Look for confirmed verification — it means TradeSpace reviewed the documents, not that the contractor ticked a box.
For contractors
- 1Open Settings → Profile and fill in every section — photo, story, trades, rates, availability, contact.
- 2Add your work under Posts & Projects so visitors see finished jobs, not just claims.
- 3Open Settings → Verifications to submit your government ID, insurance policy, and licences or credentials.
- 4TradeSpace reviews each submission. Insurance verification is tied to your policy’s expiry date.
Common questions
- What do the badges mean?
- A confirmed badge means TradeSpace reviewed the underlying document — ID, insurance, or a licence. It is not a self-assigned label.
- What documents do I need to get verified?
- Government ID for identity, an insurance certificate for insurance, and any licences or trade credentials. You submit these in Settings → Verifications.
- Does insurance verification stay current?
- Insurance verification is tied to your policy’s expiry date — when a policy lapses, that verification no longer applies until it’s renewed.
