About BuildZoom
Using BuildZoom is just like asking a neighbor for a recommendation - except instead of just asking one, you are polling every neighbor in your community, analyzing their feedback, exhaustively researching work histories and credentials and only then, making a final decision.
Our Approach
BuildZoom is built on trust … and a lot of data
To provide you with a recommendation you can trust, we comb through millions of license records, building permits and consumer reviews.
