QuinStreet Launches "Street Certified(TM)" Program to Help Homeowners Find Trustworthy Service Providers
14 February 2012 - 10:00PM
QuinStreet, Inc. (Nasdaq:QNST), the leader in vertical marketing
and media online, today unveiled a stringent qualification process
for home improvement contractors in its expansive network. The new
process, part of QuinStreet's Street Certified™ program, requires
contractors to prove professional certification, relevant insurance
and bonding, positive business reputation, and strong customer
relations.
The Street Certified program includes annual spot-checks of
contractors' customer service. Contractors who fail the tests are
removed or suspended from QuinStreet's contractor network. Those
meeting the criteria may be matched or recommended by QuinStreet
and receive the "Street Certified" seal of approval for use on
their own websites.
QuinStreet features prescreened Street Certified contractors on
its more than 150 owned and operated home improvement websites
including:
- www.improvementcenter.com
- www.reliableremodeler.com
- www.guidetohomeimprovement.com
- www.hip-home.com
- www.vinylsidingzone.com
- www.doorandwindow.com
- www.repair-home.com
- www.faceyourkitchen.com
- www.oldhouseweb.com
- and many more
"We are doing this in response to expressed needs of homeowners
and quality contractors," explains Olumide Soroye, senior vice
president, QuinStreet. "Homeowners want contractors they can
trust. High-quality contractors want to stand-out in a crowded
marketplace. The Street Certified program prescreens professionals
across our network so that consumers achieve a head start on their
research when they locate home improvement contractors through our
websites and media. Contractors displaying our seal of approval
have good reason to be proud."
The Street Certified program launched on January 5,
2012. Programs like Street Certified do not replace consumer
diligence. Additional information can be found at
