## About this site

**contractorpilot.co** is a membership-based contractor directory for Washington state. Every contractor listed is verified against the WA L&I license database (data.wa.gov) with bond amounts and insurance status independently confirmed. The directory is operated by Gorden Web Design, a one-person web studio in Moses Lake, WA.

**Operator:** Douglas Gorden Jr / Gorden Web Design
**Service area:** All 39 counties of Washington state (focus on rural + Eastern WA)
**Pricing:** Free for homeowners. Contractors pay for featured placement (free listing tier available).
**Founded:** 2026

## How verification works

1. **WA L&I license lookup** — every contractor's license is checked against data.wa.gov within 30 days of listing
2. **Bond verification** — surety bond amount on file with the state, verified directly
3. **Insurance confirmation** — general liability certificate verified by phone with the carrier
4. **Cross-reference** — business registration, EIN, and 2+ years of public records
5. **Re-verification** — every 90 days, the license + bond status is re-checked automatically
