# Tavlee

> Tavlee is a well-sourced directory of home contractors. Every rating is weighed across all known review sources, every license is verified against the official state registry (never self-reported), and every synthesized claim cites the underlying evidence. Rankings can't be bought: the order of results, ratings, and the written read reflect the evidence, never payment. Spots labeled Sponsored are paid, sit apart from the results, and change none of that.

Each contractor profile aggregates reviews, work photos, Better Business Bureau records, and a state-registry license check into one cited, honest read. Browse pages list contractors for a service in a place; profile pages carry the full evidence.
