Terms and Conditions

These terms cover your use of lowcountrytrustedpros.com. By using the site, you agree to them. The other site policies are listed on this page: the Privacy Policy, the Copyright Policy and the Accessibility Statement.

What This Site Is

Lowcountry Trusted Pros is an independent directory of contractors and home-service businesses that work in Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, Okatie, Daufuskie Island, Beaufort, Port Royal, Lady's Island, Hardeeville, Ridgeland and nearby. It is not a contractor, does not perform any work, and is not a party to any agreement between you and a business you find here.

Where Listings Come From

Listings are compiled from publicly available business information and from each business's own website. Descriptions are written for this site. Star ratings and review counts come from Google and are shown as Google reports them. Business details change, and some information here may be out of date or wrong. Confirm prices, hours, licensing, insurance and anything else that matters to you directly with the business before you hire it.

Verified Listings

A Verified listing means a person called the business's references, read its reviews in full, and confirmed its license and insurance where the trade requires them. Verified is a check made at a point in time and renewed each year. It is not a guarantee of the quality, safety, timeliness or price of any work, it is not a warranty, and it does not replace your own judgment. Licenses and insurance can lapse after the check. How Verified works explains the check in more detail.

Paid Placements

Verified ($99 a year), Featured and Spotlight are paid. Verified is paid up front for one year and refunded in full if the business doesn't pass the check. Featured is limited to 3 businesses in each trade. Featured listings and Spotlight articles are always labeled. Payment never changes a business's Google rating or review count. Editor picks and the guides are chosen by the people who write this site and cannot be bought, and a Featured business cannot also be a pick. Prices and options for businesses are on the Get Listed page.

Guides and Articles

The guides are general information written for homeowners. They are not legal, engineering, insurance, tax or financial advice. Rules, permits, grant programs and prices change. Check anything you plan to rely on with the office or program named in the guide, or with a licensed professional.

For Business Owners

Claiming, correcting and removing a listing are free. Use the form on the Get Listed page or the contact page, and corrections are made within a week. We may edit a listing for accuracy or length, decline to list a business, or remove a listing at our discretion, including businesses that are not home-service contractors or that serve few or no customers in the area. Paid upgrades are subject to the terms given when you buy them.

Using the Site

You may use the site to find and contact businesses for your own home or property. Please don't copy the directory in bulk, scrape it with automated tools, submit false information, impersonate a business, or use the forms to send spam or advertising.
