Why Homeowners Call

Questions
Char & Ash Testing lead questions
Straight answers before you apply.
What does char and ash testing look for?
Lab analysis identifies the composition of fire residue — including compounds associated with burned plastics, fuels, and treated materials — so cleanup can be scoped correctly and claims can be documented.
Why test if I can see the soot?
Visible residue doesn't tell you what it's made of or how far it traveled. Testing documents contamination levels room by room, which protects your health and supports your insurance claim.
How do char & ash testing leads from Gold Star Referrals work?
Homeowners come to Gold Star Referrals looking for char & ash testing help and submit a request with their details. On Shared, the request goes to you and up to two other contractors; on Exclusive, requests inside your radius come to you alone. Each valid lead deducts from your deposit — from $15 Shared, from $25 Exclusive — and no charge will be applied to a lead that has an invalid phone number and an invalid email address.
Do I have to sign a contract or pay monthly fees?
No contracts and no monthly fees. You claim your services by mile radius, tell us what you offer, and pay per valid lead. Pause anytime — your radius simply stops receiving referrals while you're paused.
