What Keystone Reno is — and is not

Keystone Reno helps homeowners get connected with vetted remodeling contractors in their area. Our service is free for homeowners.

We are not a contractor, licensed remodeler, builder, architect, engineer, or design firm. We do not perform work, manage job sites, pull permits, supervise crews, or sell building materials.

That matters because any project decisions, inspections, permits, contracts, pricing, schedules, and workmanship are handled by the contractor you choose to hire — not by Keystone Reno.

Information on this site

Everything on this website is general information only. It is meant to help you ask better questions and avoid common remodeling mistakes.

It is not construction advice, structural advice, engineering advice, legal advice, financial advice, tax advice, or code advice. Rules, permit needs, inspection requirements, and costs vary by city and state across the US.

Always confirm project requirements with licensed professionals and your local building department.

No quotes, promises, or guaranteed outcomes

If we discuss remodeling costs anywhere on this site, those numbers are general ranges only — not quotes. The real price depends on the scope of work, materials, the condition of the home, the city, permit needs, and the contractor.

We do not promise a price, a timeline, a contractor, permit approval, or a project result. Any estimate or contract amount must come directly from the contractor you are considering hiring.

You should compare written quotes, read the contract carefully, and make sure the scope of work is clear before signing.

Always hire licensed, insured contractors

Before you hire anyone, make sure they are properly licensed and insured for the work in your area, and verify it yourself. Do not rely only on what is said in an ad, over the phone, or in a text message.

Basic red flags are usually the same everywhere:

  • no written contract
  • no license or unclear license status
  • asking for full payment up front
  • large cash-only deposits
  • pressure to "sign today"

The homeowner stays in control. Get quotes in writing, ask questions, and hold final payment until the work is done and you are satisfied.

What information we collect

To help match you with contractors, we collect basic contact and project intent information only, such as your name, phone number, email, project type, city or ZIP code, timeline, and preferred language.

We do not ask for financial account numbers, Social Security numbers, income details, or other sensitive personal records for matching. For more on how information is handled, see our Privacy Policy.

If you have questions about this disclaimer or how the service works, you can contact us.

In plain English

Keystone Reno is free to use, but we are not the contractor — always verify the license and insurance of anyone you hire.
