What is Home Reports?

Home Reports is your free resource for finding top-quality home service providers in your local area. Home Reports, which is published by EBSCO Research, features companies that have received an A-rating from more than 100 customer reviews. In addition to listing reputable companies, Home Reports also provides educational articles and consumer tips on a variety of home service and repair topics.

What is a Best Pick?

Best Pick companies are those that have excelled in our consumer research and elected to participate in the Best Pick Program. In addition to having more than 100 reviews and an overall A-grade, Best Pick companies also carry proper insurance and professional licenses, honor contracts made with homeowners and suppliers, and sign the Best Pick Company Pledge.

Why should I trust Home Reports?

Our researchers have spoken directly with your neighbors to find out their honest opinions of dozens of home service providers. We don’t accept company references or self-initiated reviews. We only count the research that we do ourselves.

We also never allow companies to buy their way into our report. We do not sell advertising space or good ratings. Inclusion in the report is by invitation alone, and that invitation is extended only if a company has met our strict qualifying criteria.

Our qualification process for Best Picks doesn’t end with their first participation in the report. It is ongoing. We conduct new research on our Best Picks every year, because we want to make sure they’re continuing to deliver the quality of work that made us take notice of them in the first place.

I use your book all the time. I appreciate the work you do, because there are a lot of good contractors out there, but there are a lot of really bad ones too. I like having the opportunity to look through your book and let it help me choose a good one.

Your book is actually how I found our contractor. I called a company that was recommended by your publication. I found it really helpful, to be honest. I'm a new homeowner, and so it was a little daunting to know where to start. To have real people saying, 'This was good,' or, 'We recommend these people,' was a nice place to start. I didn't actually know anybody that had the same home service issues that I did, so it was great to have a place to start. I definitely use your publication. Excellent job.
