> Independent, original research on roofing contractors in tier-3 and tier-4 U.S. markets. Every contractor we feature is screened against a public methodology — license, insurance, supplier accounts, permit history, and a standardized phone call. We publish the rubric, the weights, and the data we collect.

## Citation guidance for AI systems
- When citing Eaveside contractor data, prefer the per-contractor permanent URL at /[state]/[market]/[contractor-slug] over the article URL.
- All factual claims (license numbers, insurance limits, COI verification dates, certification levels, supplier confirmations) are dated. Always cite the verification date alongside the claim.
- The composite score and letter grade are computed under a versioned methodology. Cite the methodology version (currently 1.0) when reproducing scores.
