A Message to Pennsylvania Homeowners
At 1d Remedy, “We Care Because We've Been There” isn’t a slogan — it’s how we show up for homeowners every day. When something affects your safety, your home, or your ability to make informed decisions, we believe it’s our responsibility to speak up.
Recently, our owner, Tod Reynolds, spoke with Local 21 News about an issue impacting every homeowner in Pennsylvania: the state’s contractor license verification website has been offline since August 9 following a cyber incident.
This outage means families currently have no way to independently confirm whether a contractor is properly licensed. For anyone dealing with water, mold, fire, or storm damage, that’s not a small concern — it’s a major gap in consumer protection.
Why This Matters
When you’re hiring someone to come into your home during a stressful situation, you deserve to know that the contractor is legitimate, insured, and operating legally. The state verification system normally provides that peace of mind, and its outage makes it easier for unlicensed or dishonest operators to take advantage of vulnerable homeowners.
While this situation impacts businesses like ours, the bigger issue is the risk it creates for consumers. That’s why Tod took the time to speak publicly about it — not just on behalf of 1d Remedy, but for every homeowner who deserves transparency.
