The Sweeten Standard: Only the best general contractors

Sweeten’s general contractors are the best in the industry


Our vetting process for general contractors is exceptionally rigorous. Only 15% of the contractors who apply meet our standards.

  • Relevant Experience

    We evaluate our contractors’ major renovation experience, the quality of their work, and their customer reviews.

  • Licensing & Insurance

    We screen our contractors for any state-required licensing and insurance.

  • One-on-One Interviews

    We personally interview all contractors, to evaluate their professionalism, responsiveness, and communication skills.

  • Reference Checks

    We talk to our contractors’ former clients. We get candid feedback, and see how happy they are after living with the contractors’ work. We share relevant feedback on our contractors’ Sweeten profile.

Guarantee of work


Sweeten general contractors guarantee their work for a minimum of one year—you can feel confident about the quality of their workmanship.
