We Protect the Homeowner's Largest Asset by Watching the Watchmen.
BYLDRS GUARDIAN was born from a simple truth: homeowners deserve the same level of protection when hiring a Pro that they get from their bank, their doctor, or their attorney.
California's home improvement industry generates over $60 billion annually — yet there's been no independent oversight. Until now. We are the Guardian that stands between homeowners and the risks of unverified, unaudited, and unaccountable Pros.
Accountability
Every Pro on our platform is held to the same rigorous standard. No favoritism, no exceptions — just verifiable performance data.
Transparency
Homeowners see everything — audit scores, license status, complaint history, and community reviews. Zero hidden information.
30-Day Recurring Audits
We don't verify once and forget. Every Pro is re-audited every 30 days against the full 20-Point Shield to ensure ongoing compliance.
How We Rank
Our transparent tier system ensures homeowners know exactly what level of verification each Pro has achieved.

Marcus Rivera
Rivera Roofing & Solar
Marcus Rivera founded Rivera Roofing & Solar in 2009 with one mission: protect California homeowners from the contractors who cut corners. Born and raised in East LA, Marcus saw firsthand how families lost their savings to unlicensed roofers. After earning his CSLB license and working 8 years under a master roofer, he launched his own company — and hasn't looked back. Today, Rivera Roofing & Solar has completed over 500 projects with a 4.9-star average, making it one of the most trusted names in Southern California. Marcus personally oversees every project and insists on daily site cleanup, magnetic nail sweeps, and documented progress photos stored in the homeowner's Vault.
