Terms of Use

Effective date: July 11, 2026  ·  Last updated: 2026

By accessing or using houstonhomeservicesguide.com (the "Site"), you agree to the following Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. We may update these terms at any time. Continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

1. About This Guide

Houston Home Services Guide is an independent directory created to help Houston-area homeowners research and contact home service contractors such as plumbers, electricians, AC and heating pros, roofers, and other trades. The Site is operated independently by Topper Digital and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any contractor, licensing board, or government entity.

Our rankings are ordered by verified Google rating, review volume, verification tier, and local relevance, never by payment. See our ranking methodology for details.

2. Information Accuracy

Contractor data on this Site, including business name, address, phone number, hours, and service area, is compiled from public sources and business profile data. We update this information periodically, but it changes frequently and may not reflect a contractor's most current status, ownership, licensing, or service offerings.

Pricing and cost information shown in our guides and on contractor pages represents estimates based on regional market data and is provided for general research purposes only. Actual pricing varies by job scope, materials, and individual circumstances. Always contact contractors directly for current quotes and availability.

We make reasonable efforts to keep information accurate but cannot guarantee that all data is current, complete, or error-free. You should independently verify all contractor information, including licensing and insurance, before hiring.

3. Google Ratings & Review Data

Google star ratings and review counts shown on contractor pages are sourced through an industry-standard data aggregation service. This data is updated periodically and may not reflect the most current ratings or review counts on Google.

Individual Google review text is not displayed on this Site. Only aggregate ratings and counts are shown. For the most current reviews, visit the contractor's Google Business Profile directly.

Houston Home Services Guide is not affiliated with Google LLC. Google ratings and reviews are the property of Google and their respective authors.

4. No Professional Advice

All content on this Site, including contractor descriptions, service explanations, cost guides, and AI assistant responses, is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute professional, legal, or financial advice.

Home repair and improvement decisions can involve safety, permitting, and financial factors. We encourage you to verify licensing and insurance, obtain multiple written estimates, and consult qualified professionals before hiring. The Site is a research starting point, not a substitute for professional judgment.

5. No Contractor Affiliation or Endorsement

The listing of a contractor on this Site does not imply that Houston Home Services Guide endorses, recommends, or guarantees that contractor. All contractors meeting our geographic and trade criteria are eligible for inclusion in our directory.

Contractors marked as "Verified" or "Claimed" have claimed their listing to provide enhanced profile information. This designation reflects operator participation on our platform, not an assessment of work quality or a recommendation by Houston Home Services Guide.

We are not responsible for the quality of work performed by any contractor listed on this Site. Always conduct your own research, verify licensing and insurance, check reviews, and get written estimates before hiring.

6. User Responsibility & Due Diligence

Homeowners using this Site to research and hire contractors are solely responsible for their hiring decisions. We encourage all users to:

  • Verify that a contractor holds the required license for the trade (for example, through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation or the applicable state board).
  • Confirm the contractor carries current liability insurance and, where applicable, workers' compensation.
  • Obtain multiple written estimates before committing to a project.
  • Read reviews and check references for each contractor under consideration.
  • Get all work terms, warranties, and payment schedules in writing.

By using this Site, you agree that Houston Home Services Guide is not liable for any harm, loss, or damages arising from your use of the information provided, or from work performed by any contractor listed on this Site.

7. Intellectual Property

All original content on this Site, including text, site design, graphics, editorial guides, and AI-generated descriptions, is the property of Houston Home Services Guide and its operator. All rights reserved.

You may not reproduce, distribute, republish, or create derivative works from any Site content without prior written permission. Brief quotations with attribution for non-commercial, editorial purposes are permitted. Systematic scraping or data harvesting is prohibited.

Contractor names, addresses, and other public business information are not subject to our copyright. Google ratings and review counts are the property of Google LLC.

8. Claimed Listings

Contractors may claim a free Verified Listing on this Site. Claims are reviewed before approval, are non-exclusive, and may be revoked at the sole discretion of Houston Home Services Guide.

Data accuracy: after claiming a listing, the contractor assumes responsibility for the accuracy of the business name, address, phone number, and other profile information displayed on the Site. Houston Home Services Guide reserves the right to revert changes that do not match public records.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Houston Home Services Guide and its operator, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:

  • Your use of or inability to use this Site.
  • Inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete contractor information.
  • Hiring decisions made based on information obtained from this Site.
  • Actions or omissions of any contractor listed on this Site.

This Site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose.
