What Is a ProScore and Why It Matters

Understanding Ontario's contractor trust score — how it works, what it measures, and why homeowners are using it before every hire.

A ProScore is a composite trust score from 0 to 100 that evaluates Ontario contractors across four independent pillars: Reputation, Verification, Sentiment, and Transparency. It aggregates data from 10+ verified data sources — including government licensing databases, multiple review platforms, and AI sentiment analysis — into a single number that tells homeowners how much they can trust a contractor before hiring them.

Why One Platform Is Never Enough

A plumber with 4.8 stars on Google might have an F with the Better Business Bureau. A roofer with zero online presence might have perfect government credentials and decades of experience. No single review platform tells the whole story.

ProScore is the only platform in Canada that combines:

  • Multi-platform ratings from verified review sources
  • Government license verification from ESA, TSSA, HCRA, and WSIB
  • AI-powered sentiment analysis that reads review text across six quality dimensions
  • Transparency scoring based on platform presence and profile completeness
  • The Five Tiers

    Based on their total ProScore, every contractor is classified into one of five tiers:

  • Elite (82+): Exceptional across all pillars. The standard for Ontario trade professionals.
  • Trusted (70-81): Strong, consistent performance with verified credentials.
  • Good (55-69): Solid ratings with room for improvement.
  • Basic (30-54): Limited data available. May be newer to the industry.
  • Caution (below 30): Significant concerns identified. Review carefully before hiring.
  • Free for Homeowners, Always

    ProScore is 100% free for homeowners. You can search contractors, compare scores, read cross-platform reviews, and request quotes without creating an account. Contractors pay for optional premium features — never for higher scores.
