About Vfane
Vfane is a free contractor matchmaker for residential roofing in Houston, TX. We help homeowners find trustworthy contractors — and help honest contractors prove they are trustworthy.
The problem we solve
After every major storm in Houston, transient contractors flood the market. They knock on doors, offer fast repairs, and disappear before the warranty matters. Homeowners have no way to tell them apart from the honest contractors who have been building in Houston for decades.
At the same time, established contractors are stuck competing on advertising spend instead of work quality. They pay $15-100+ per shared lead on platforms that sell the same homeowner to 8 different companies. The race to the bottom hurts everyone.
Our approach
Education first
Our AI advisor helps homeowners understand their project before they pick a contractor. Not sure if you need a repair or replacement? The advisor helps you think it through.
Trust verified
Every contractor earns a Trust Score based on public business records — permit history, certifications, entity standing, and insurance verification. No one can buy a better score.
Positive-only reviews
We only allow positive reviews. Contractors compete on the number of homeowners who vouch for them — not on avoiding bad reviews. One review per project, verified, permanent.
Free for everyone
Vfane is completely free for homeowners and contractors. No subscription, no lead fees. Voluntary donations have zero effect on scores, rankings, or visibility.
How Trust Scores work
Every contractor on Vfane has a Trust Score from 0 to 100, calculated from verified homeowner reviews, profile completeness, and lead response rate. Contractors scoring 70+ are marked “Verified” and appear in homeowner search results.
