Why contractors use this tool

Every bad customer costs you money, time, and stress. This tool helps you stop them before they start.

💸

Catch slow-pay customers before you quote

Other contractors flag customers who delay payment, dispute invoices, or disappear when the bill arrives. Search before you commit — not after you've done the work.

📋

See scope-creep history

"While you're here..." customers turn 2-hour jobs into all-day nightmares. Contractors leave notes about exactly that. You'll know if you're walking into one.

Avoid retaliation reviewers

Some customers leave 1-star reviews when contractors hold firm on price. ClientVet lets you see who has a history of that, so you can decide whether to engage.

🤝

Find great customers in your area

Most customers are good. Highly-rated ones get a "Trusted" badge so you know it's a job worth taking. Prioritize the good ones, decline the rest.

Common questions

How do I check if a customer pays on time?
Search the customer's name or address above. Contractors rate customers after every job including payment behavior — on time, slow pay, or refused. You'll see the aggregate payment rating and individual notes from other tradespeople who've worked with them.
Can I screen customers before quoting?
Yes. Look up any customer before you give a quote or commit to a job. You'll see their overall star rating, payment track record, and notes from contractors who've been through it. Takes about 10 seconds before every new job.
Is the customer lookup really free?
Yes. One lookup per day requires zero account or credit card. Create a free account to unlock 3 searches/day. Upgrade to Founding Member ($14.50/mo) for unlimited lookups, unlimited ratings, and full access to all contractor reviews.
What trades use this tool?
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, general contractors, roofers, landscapers, painters, and other tradespeople use ClientVet. Any contractor who deals with residential or commercial customers and wants to know what they're walking into before showing up.
How accurate is the customer payment history?
All ratings come from verified contractors who worked with the customer. Each review includes a 5-star rating, payment behavior score, dispute history, and a "would work again" flag. The more reviews a customer has, the more reliable the signal.
What if my customer isn't in the database?
A missing result means no one's reviewed them yet — which is common for newer or rural customers. Create a free account and rate them after the job. You'll help the next contractor in your trade who works with the same person.
