The 5 best local trades — vetted, ranked, no guesswork

We do the homework homeowners hate: verifying licensing and reviews, then narrowing every trade in your city down to the five you can actually trust. No 900-listing directories. No pay-to-rank. Just the shortlist.

How it works

Three steps between you and a floor you love

We built Top5 Install to do one thing well — take the risk out of hiring a local trade.

1

We vet the whole field

Every installer in your city — checked for licensing, insurance, WCB coverage, and real, recent reviews across multiple sources.

2

We rank the top 5

Scored on a published method — not who paid the most. You see exactly why each made the list, and what they're best for.

3

You get matched

Our Rating

Rankings you can actually audit

The big directories bury paid placement inside "objective" lists. We don't. Every ranking is earned on the same verified criteria — and we publish the exact rubric so you can check our work.

No one pays to rank.

Installers can't buy a spot in our Top 5 — ever. If a listing is ever sponsored, it's clearly labelled and kept separate from the earned ranking. That's the whole point.
