Archie's public directory lists licensed home professionals across 16 trades, from general contractors to real-estate attorneys. Every application requires license details and liability insurance of at least $10,000, and is reviewed by a person before a profile goes live.
Archie's public directory accepts licensed home professionals across 16 trades — from general contractors and electricians to home inspectors, title companies, and real-estate attorneys — and this page lists exactly what every application requires.
The requirements are uniform: license details, proof of liability insurance of at least $10,000, and real experience in the trade. Every application is reviewed by a person before a profile goes live — there is no auto-approval.
Joining and staying listed is free today: no listing fees, no lead fees, no paid placement. Members contact you directly from your profile, and work you complete can be client-confirmed onto the public leaderboard, where rankings follow verified work only.
The trade-off is transparency: your license details appear on your profile up front, because that is what makes members comfortable reaching out. Archie's bet is that verified credentials and confirmed work win more jobs than ads do.
