Most hiring goes wrong on the homeowner's side of the table first.
Not because the homeowner did anything wrong — because the job was never written down, so three companies quoted three different jobs. This page checks one thing: how ready you are. It has no opinion about any company, it never will, and every line it marks as open comes back with the next thing to do about it.
Project readiness check
Answer for yourself where your own preparation for this job stands, and get the next step on every line you have not settled yet.
How this works, and what it does not tell you
How this works
Every question here is about you and your own preparation. You answer each line; the page counts your own answers and hands back the lines that are still open, each with the next step already written under it on this page. It runs in your browser, it saves your answers on this device only, and it sends nothing to Coastal SD Pros or to anyone else.
What it does not tell you
It says nothing about any contractor. It produces no score, rating, grade, badge or verdict about any business, and it never will: you are the only party being described here, because you are the only party who opted in. It also states no price, no rule, no fee and no rate anywhere on the page, and it is not legal advice. Which questions matter, and in what order, came from internal research notes that the research directory itself marks raw and unverified, so those notes shaped this checklist and nothing else on the page comes from them.
JavaScript is off, so the page cannot count your answers or shorten the list for you. Nothing is hidden by that: every question, every reason it matters, and every next step is printed in full below, in order. Work down the page and act on the ones you have not settled.

Work down the lines above and press “Show what I am missing”. This page starts at zero on every visit and stays there until you answer something — it never fills anything in on your behalf, and it never reports progress you did not make.
Your own preparation, by your own answers
This counts the answers you just gave about your own preparation. It is not a score, a rating or a grade, it is not a reading on any contractor, and it does not mean a job will go well or badly — it means the parts of the decision that are still in your head are listed below.

Your own to-do list, in the order the lines appear above. Paste it into your notes. It contains nothing about any company, because nothing about any company was ever collected here.
My next steps before I hire
Important. Coastal SD Pros is operated by Roscoe Equity LLC and is a homeowner information service — not a contractor, regulator, insurer, law firm or emergency service. This page is general information about your own preparation, not legal advice, and it makes no assessment of any business. Paid advertising and whether a business is a Roscoe Site Pro client do not change factual record fields, inclusion decisions, list order or editorial conclusions. Confirm the live public record, insurance, availability, written scope and written price before you hire. Nothing you type on this page is received, stored or transmitted by Coastal SD Pros.
