Jobsites reviewed

Three ratings that
decide the bid.

Crew reports sort every property into one of three ratings — so you know what you're walking into before you load the truck.

4 – 5 stars

Good to go

  • Pays on time, every draw
  • Respectful — no hovering over the crew
  • Fast decisions, reasonable expectations

"Would work here again."

2.5 – 3.7 stars

Standard Owner

  • Pays, but you chase the last check
  • Hovers or second-guesses the crew
  • Slow decisions, some discount hunting

"Price it fairly, tighten the contract."

Under 2.5 stars

Not worth the money

  • Payment disputes or flat non-payment
  • Constant hovering and disrespect
  • Unreasonable demands, grinds every line item

"Not worth the headache."

SAMPLE REPORTS FOR DEMONSTRATION — CHECKING SESSION…

▸ First 100 reports

The network is only as sharp as the crews in it.

Every approved report builds a permanent public file on that address — pay history, scope creep, site access, decision speed. We're seeding the first hundred. File one from a job you finished this year, or pass the link to a foreman who owes you a favor.

  • ▸ Takes about four minutes
  • ▸ Reviewed by a human before it goes live
  • ▸ Your handle shows, your identity doesn't

The rules

Built so crews actually use it.

Richer scoring. Real moderation. Anonymity that holds up when a job goes sideways.

Anonymous by default

Your name never shows.

  • Trade + city only
  • Block who you want

Moderated & verified

No names. No attacks.

  • PII auto-scrubbed
  • One-time rebuttal

Structured red flags

Six flags every crew knows.

  • Scope creep
  • Ghosted
  • Unsafe site

Five sub-scores

The overall isn't the whole story.

  • Pays on time
  • Respect
  • Decision speed

Why Union Break

Customer reviews, written by the crews

Contractors have been rated for twenty years. Union Break rates the other side of the invoice.

Union Break is a free, address-level review network for working trades. Members rate the jobs they finished on five things that decide whether work is worth taking: paying on time, treating the crew with respect, making decisions quickly, keeping requests reasonable, and how hard they chase discounts.

Those five stars roll into one score and a plain-English call — Good to go, Standard owner, or Not worth the money — so you can size up a lead in seconds instead of finding out on change-order day.

Every report is filed by a signed-in tradesperson, reviewed before it goes public, and tied to a verified street address. Searching is free and always will be.

Who can leave a review on Union Break?

Signed-in tradespeople who actually worked the job. Each report asks for the trade, the address, and a short narrative, and moderators review it before it appears publicly.

Does it cost anything to search an address?

No. Searching addresses and reading approved reports is free for everyone, with no paywall or trial.

How is the overall score calculated?

It is the average of five one-to-five star ratings — pays on time, respect, decision speed, reasonable requests, and discount seeking — shown as a single star score plus a rating band.

Can a homeowner get a review removed?

Reports that break the content guidelines — personal attacks, private data, or claims a reviewer cannot back up — are removed. Honest, firsthand accounts of a job stay up.

Don't quote blind.
