San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/03/2013 -- One of the most difficult parts of undertaking work to a home, or building a new home, is finding a reputable local contractor. The media is full of horror stories about the disastrous results of using unscrupulous contractors. People are rightly concerned about finding a contractor that they can trust.

One contractor related website that is getting a lot of attention recently is Contractor-Place.com. This new site was set up to help people find reputable contractors in their local area. Unlike many contractor directories, it is human edited and moderated to keep finite control on the quality of contractors. The site is already building up a substantial reputation as a fantastic place to find a reliable contractor, no doubt as a result of their very strict policy of only connecting site visitors with reputable tradespeople.

The directory covers many different skills and trades, from builders to mold inspectors. It also contains general contractor directory listings. It is extremely easy for site visitors to find the contractor they are looking for. They simply click on the service they require and they are presented with a list. They can also use the site’s search function to search for contractors specifically operating in their area.

In addition to the contractor directory the site also contains an extensive collection of editorial content relating to home improvement work and home maintenance.

A spokesperson for the site said: “Finding the right contractor can be an absolute nightmare. Most people have completely abandoned directories and instead rely on word of mouth recommendations from friends. However that isn’t always possible. Sometimes people just don’t know anyone who has a recommendation for that particular service. We wanted to launch a directory of contractors that people could trust: a list of approved names, rather than a directory that anyone could be added to. All of the contractors on our lists are people that we would use ourselves. They have an excellent reputation, not only for the quality of their work but also for their honesty and fair pricing structure. Our aim is to be the best and most trusted directory of contractors on the Internet.”
