The verification layer
other directories don't have.
Every badge on Knot is earned through real project history — not purchased, not self-reported.
Verified Identity
Every contractor submits license numbers, insurance certificates, and business credentials. We check them. You see the badge when they clear.
Real Project History
Project counts come directly from completed Pretzel jobs — not self-reported. 18 verified projects means 18 verified projects.
Transparent Reviews
Every review links to a real project in Pretzel. No anonymous posts. No paid testimonials. Just honest feedback from verified homeowners.
The reputation loop
Knot's verification is powered by Pretzel.io project data — creating a closed loop where great work builds lasting, unfakeable reputation.
