Good Guys Bad Guys Contractors — protecting homeowners across Canada 🇨🇦 and the USA 🇺🇸 from contractor fraud, negligence, and scams.
GGBGC was founded by homeowners who experienced contractor fraud firsthand. We lost thousands of dollars to contractors who took our money and disappeared, did shoddy work, or simply never showed up.
We built this platform because we believe sunlight is the best disinfectant. When communities share their experiences openly, bad actors can no longer simply move on to their next victim. Every report you submit protects the next homeowner.
Always get at least 3 quotes before hiring. If one is drastically cheaper, be cautious.
Before hiring anyone, search their name and company on GGBGC to check for past reports.
Ask for their contractor license number and verify it with your province or state registry.
Always confirm they carry liability insurance and WSIB/Workers Comp before work begins.
Never pay without a signed contract that lists the scope, timeline, and total price.
Never pay more than 10–15% upfront. Pay the rest only when the work is completed.
Strong evidence helps your report get approved faster and makes it more helpful to others.
GGBGC is about holding businesses accountable — not exposing individuals. This distinction is critical. Here is exactly what is and is not allowed when filing a report.
Doxxing is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate removal of your report and a permanent ban. Sharing someone's personal home address, personal phone number, or private identifying information — even if you believe they wronged you — is considered doxxing. It puts people at risk of harassment and may expose you to criminal or civil liability. If you are unsure whether something is personal or business information, leave it out.
Never post a contractor's personal home address, personal phone number, personal email, social media accounts, or any private identifying information. GGBGC reports are about business conduct, not personal exposure. Violations result in permanent bans and report removal.
Keep every report factual and professional. No slurs, threats, discriminatory language, or personal attacks. Reports targeting a person's race, religion, gender, or appearance will be removed immediately, regardless of the legitimacy of the underlying complaint.
Report only what actually happened. Do not fabricate incidents, inflate dollar amounts, or attribute work to a contractor you cannot verify. False reports expose you to legal action and undermine the platform for everyone.
A report should describe the job, what went wrong, and the financial or property impact. Critique the work quality and business practices — not the person's appearance, background, or personal life. The goal is to help other homeowners make informed decisions, not to punish someone personally.
Submit one report per contractor incident. Multiple reports for the same job will be merged or removed. If you have a new incident with the same contractor at a later date, that may be submitted as a separate report.
By submitting a report you confirm that your account of events is truthful to the best of your knowledge. GGBGC does not verify individual claims, but we cooperate fully with legal processes and reserve the right to remove any content at our discretion. See our Legal Disclaimer for full details.
If you're a contractor and believe a report about you is false or inaccurate, you can request a review through our dispute process.
Submit a dispute request with your full name, company name, and the URL of the report you are disputing.
Provide evidence supporting your position — such as a signed contract, completion photos, or communication records.
Our team reviews both sides within 10 business days and makes a final determination.
If your dispute is upheld, the report will be removed or amended. You may also submit a public response to be posted alongside the original report.
