A Team Committed to Doing Right by You
The Good Contractors List was built on a simple but powerful idea — homeowners deserve trustworthy contractors they can count on. What began as one man’s leap of faith in 2011 has grown into a movement of integrity, protection, and real accountability.
We personally vet every contractor on our list and back it up with a $25,000 guarantee. Why? Because doing the right thing matters. We’re not just building a business — we’re restoring trust in the home service industry, one contractor at a time.
The Good Contractors List Story
After surviving a massive heart attack, founder John Hill felt called to something more. He committed to following God’s voice — without knowing it would lead to launching a business that would transform the home services industry.
While working in direct mail, a contractor asked about splitting an ad — and it planted the seed. What if good contractors could share marketing costs and be listed together on one trusted platform?
“Mansfield Service Connection” launched, followed by Burleson and Waxahachie. Contractors teamed up to advertise in local magazines, giving homeowners trusted names to call in
their community.
When the magazine changed its ad policy, the original model no longer worked. That challenge forced a rethink — and opened the door for a bigger, better idea.
While explaining the vision, the phrase “a good contractors list” was born. On 11/11/11, the name became official, and contractors joined based on trust — with no website, just a legal pad and a big dream.
With enough founding contractors on board, the company was ready to advertise at scale. Each contractor was given the choice to opt out or take a leap of faith into something that hadn’t been done before.
75% of contractors committed. With just under $51K, the first media campaign launched — backed by a bold promise: The Good Contractors List would guarantee up to $10,000 if a listed contractor failed to do the job right.
Fort Worth Inc. Magazine named founder John Hill an Entrepreneur of Excellence — a milestone for a company that started with zero business experience, but an unwavering mission to protect homeowners.
After facing a major health crisis, John Hill received a life-saving heart transplant. The donor, Christian Wachal, became part of the company's story — and a lasting reminder that every heartbeat has purpose.
With the addition of Aaron Bush as CEO and partner, The Good Contractors List became Good Contractors, LLC — expanding its reach beyond DFW and adding services that provide even more protection for homeowners.
