The Top of the Trades Awards
The only home-service award your neighbors decide.
Once a year, homeowners who hired the work vote for the best pro near them, trade by trade, in all 50 states. No entry fee. No paid winners. Every winner gets a free digital badge; plaques and glass awards are optional keepsakes that never change a result. Just the most trusted answer to “who should I call?”
For homeowners
A gold badge means real neighbors picked this pro this year, in your county, for this exact job. Not an ad. Not an algorithm.
For pros
The one credential money cannot buy. Win it and show it everywhere: your trucks, your site, your quotes. Free listings can win too.
Why it holds up
A race opens only when a trade has 5 verified nominees in your county. One vote per home, and it counts on its own. Sponsors can't win what they sponsor.

Three things a business can be here. Each one has to be earned.
A real business, claimed by its owner
Free. Name, trade, city and service area, live after five automatic checks. No photos, no badge, no priority.
Credentials reviewed, dated and scoped
License confirmed with the state, insurance confirmed with the agent, identity matched, reviews audited. The badge names the year and the services it covers, is re-checked every month, and comes off the day anything lapses. $199 a year, once you pass. Paying does not pass you.
Voted by homeowners, by county and city
Homeowners vote once a year in all 50 states and D.C.: one vote per home per category, and one vote counts on its own. Free to enter, free to win, free digital badge. Every win names the contest year, the place and the service.
Paid plans are one payment a year. They buy a higher spot, photos, answers, video and a booking link, always labeled. Paying starts the Checked review. Only passing earns the badge. Paying never changes a rating, a review or an award.

Common questions
What is Top of the Trades?
A nationwide directory of home-service businesses. Every listing shows what we verified and when, and every year homeowners vote for the best pro in each trade in their county.
Is it free for homeowners?
Yes. Searching, starting a project, nominating and voting are all free. We never sell your details.
Start a project →How is this different from other review and lead sites?
Businesses do not pay per lead, so your request is not sold to whoever pays most. Our trust badge means a person checked the license and insurance against official records. And awards are voted by homeowners, with rules that stop anyone from buying one.
What does the trust badge mean?
A person checked the business license and insurance against official records, and the date of that check is on the profile.
How to read a listing →How do the awards work?
Homeowners nominate businesses they have hired from January 1 to April 30. Finalists are named May 1. Neighbors vote August 15 to October 15, one vote per home, and winners are announced November 1. Voting opens in a county once a trade there has five verified nominees.
See the awards →Can a business pay to rank higher?
Yes, and it is always labeled. Up to two Sponsored results can appear at the top, then Featured pros on the Advanced plan, then pros with the trust badge, then free listings. Paying starts the trust badge check. Only passing earns the badge. Paying never changes a rating, a review, a vote or an award.
