Case Study

How we saved a busy Maryland homeowner from using the wrong contractor — and saved her thousands.

She was about to sign with a contractor that looked great on paper. Our team dug deeper — checked licensing, permitting history, past reviews, and public records — and uncovered a pattern of unfinished jobs, ignored timelines, and serious financial red flags. We pulled her out before she signed and matched her with a vetted GC who actually delivered. The result: project done right, on time, and thousands of dollars (and months of headache) saved.

"Finding a good contractor used to feel like gambling with my house. SMC did all the research and matched me with someone amazing."

⚠ What we found — Verified review

"DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. SCAM ARTIST."

"I entered into a contract with [REDACTED] of [REDACTED]. From the start I was lied to about the company's experience… they destroyed my space — drilling through concrete floors, tearing down walls and ceiling tiles, and leaving all of the work unfinished. A 6–8 week project turned into 15 months. 70% paid, company now out of business, 5-figure loss…"

Names redacted. This is the kind of red flag our vetting process catches before you sign.
