Membership Standards
What We Expect From Every Member
CabinetQuotes is an introductory platform. We connect Makers and Clients — we are not a party to your contract, and we do not vet members on your behalf.
What we do is set clear standards. Every Maker and Client agrees to them when they join. These are the rules of the road — read them, and hold each other to them.
This is a plain-English summary of obligations in the Terms of Service. If anything here conflicts with the Terms, the Terms control.
What Members Agree To
Four Standards. Every Member.
Accurate, Honest Information
Every member agrees to provide truthful, current information — about their license, insurance, experience, and work. No padded resumes. No stock photos passed off as completed projects.
False or misleading content is grounds for account suspension or removal.
Licenses & Insurance
Makers agree they hold the licenses required by their state (in California, an active CSLB license) and active general liability insurance appropriate to the work they take on.
Clients: CabinetQuotes does not verify these on your behalf. Confirm license and insurance directly with the Maker before you sign anything.
Respectful Conduct
No harassment. No impersonation. No deception. No spam. Treat the other people on this platform the way you would want to be treated on someone else's.
Disagreements on construction projects are normal. Using the platform to abuse other members is not.
Fair Use of the Platform
No scraping, data harvesting, or automated collection. No interference with how the platform runs. No unlawful use of any kind.
Contact information is here so Clients and Makers can find each other — not so it can be exported and resold.
Before You Hire
Verify Directly. Every Time.
CabinetQuotes introduces you to Makers. The contract that follows is between you and them — we are not a party to it, and the responsibility for checking license, insurance, and references sits with you.
The standards above describe what every Maker has already agreed they meet. Before you sign, confirm it:
- —Look up the contractor license with your state board (in California, cslb.ca.gov).
- —Ask for a current Certificate of Insurance and confirm coverage is in force.
- —Ask for references from recent projects — and actually call them.
- —See finished work in person if you can. Renderings and stock photos are not the same thing.
35 years in this industry teaches one thing above all: the five minutes you spend verifying up front saves the five months you spend cleaning up afterward.
