What we vet for in home services
The same bar applies to every partner in the network. Here's what every applicant in Home Services has to clear before they're routed a single lead.
- Identity & license. State professional license active and unencumbered, BBB rating A or A+, no unresolved complaints in the last 24 months, and a clean sanctions/litigation scan.
- Reference checks. Five past-client phone interviews conducted by the FMS team — not an auto-survey — plus supplier reputation cross-reference and trade-association status confirmation.
- Quality audit. Twelve sample work products reviewed (jobs, deliverables, contracts) with a communication-style assessment pulled from real customer threads. We check whether the public story matches the private one.
- Trial onboarding. Three-week supervised ramp with five test leads under FMS oversight before the partner is fully live in home services.
- Continuous monitoring. Every booking feeds the partner's AI quality score. Drops below 8.5 trigger a 60-day improvement review; below 7.5 pauses lead flow until the issue is resolved.
Common questions about home services partners
How does FMS Studio vet home services businesses?
Every home services applicant runs the same four-stage sequence: identity and license verification (day 1–2), past-client and trade-association reference checks (day 3–5), a hands-on audit of recent work and deliverables (day 6–9), and a three-week supervised trial onboarding. Roughly nine of ten applicants don't clear the bar.
Does it cost anything to book through the Home Services directory?
No. Browsing the directory, searching home services partners, and booking an initial consultation are always free for leads. You only pay the partner you choose to work with, directly with them, on their terms — never through FMS Studio.
How quickly do Home Services partners respond after I book?
Across the network the average time-to-first-reply is under fifteen minutes. Home Services partners who don't keep response time inside that window get flagged in the AI quality score and lose new lead flow until the issue is resolved.
What happens if my home services partner isn't a good fit?
Report it in the post-meeting feedback. We re-match you with a different partner at no cost, credit back any applicable no-show fee, and the original partner's quality score is adjusted immediately. Two consecutive bad outcomes trigger a quality pause and removal review.
Can I filter Home Services partners by city?
Yes. Use the search bar on the directory home page or browse by city under /cities/. Home Services partners surface in your local feed first; partners with a regional or national service area appear when they're available in your market.
