The site’s apparent business model is local project contracting, with visitors encouraged to request estimates and engage the company for home-improvement work. ### Scam/Impersonation Risk No contradictions were observed between the site’s stated local-contractor identity and the available technical or page-level evidence. The homepage provides a coherent business description, service areas, physical location, and project-oriented call to action, while the analysis found no phishing, impersonation, blacklist, malicious-code, hidden-form, or credential-capture indicators. Some dynamic behavior was observed, including suspicious inline scripts and substantial DOM changes after interaction; however, there was no external network activity, no sensitive form, and no wallet-related behavior, so these signals do not establish site-specific fraud. The site’s real-world operator identity remains unverified, meaning the on-page business identity should be treated as apparent rather than independently proven. Evidence: - The homepage identifies Custom Deck & Porch, LLC, gives a Sandusky, Ohio address, lists Northern Ohio service areas, and describes deck, porch, patio, paver, and fence construction. - Domain registration records show creation on 2024-12-17 and an age of 1.67 years. - Interactive testing recorded 2 successful runs, 0 external XHR/fetch requests, 0 hidden forms, 0 password-external forms, and 2 suspicious inline scripts. ### Regulatory Verification Notes The site presents a conventional local-service identity and states that the business has operated since 1999. It also refers to a Better Business Bureau A+ rating, but that on-page statement is a business claim rather than independent confirmation. No license or registration number is disclosed in the supplied site content; for a residential contractor, the relevant licensing requirement may depend on the jurisdiction and scope of work, so this is a verification and transparency point rather than evidence of a scam. Available third-party broker intelligence produced no name match, and the technical reputation information does not establish a regulatory status. Evidence: - The homepage states “Over 25 Years of Experience,” describes work throughout Sandusky and surrounding Ohio counties, and identifies the business as Custom Deck & Porch, LLC. - The homepage cites an A+ Better Business Bureau rating and directs visitors toward estimates rather than financial-account activity. - Transport encryption uses a DV certificate issued by WE1, valid to 2026-11-06T06:52:29+00:00. ### What to Verify Next Before a substantial project commitment, independently confirm the company’s legal name, physical operating address, applicable Ohio or local contractor-license requirements, and the current status of the claimed BBB rating. Obtain a written estimate that identifies the contracting party, scope, materials, payment schedule, warranty, cancellation terms, and dispute process; contact details should also be confirmed through an independently sourced channel rather than relying solely on the website. Evidence: - The site provides the address 4208 Campbell St, Sandusky, OH, together with a phone contact and estimate-oriented call to action. - The website describes service coverage across Sandusky, Perkins Township, Huron, Vermilion, Norwalk, Fremont, Bellevue, Port Clinton, and parts of Erie, Ottawa, Lorain, and Huron Counties. - The page contains no sensitive submission form, login form, or untrusted form destination. ### Summary Verdict The website has a **moderate-trust posture**. Its content is consistent with a genuine local contracting operation and no active scam or impersonation contradiction was identified, but the independent connection between the website and the real-world operator is not established sufficiently for an unqualified legitimacy conclusion. Verification is therefore appropriate before high-value commitments or sensitive exchanges. ### Infrastructure Integrity The site is protected by Cloudflare’s CDN/WAF, and the observed address is an edge-server address rather than a directly exposed origin. This provides a meaningful defensive layer and reduces direct origin exposure, but shared protective infrastructure is only a mitigating security signal and does not independently prove the operator’s identity. Reports associated with the observed address are attributed to shared Cloudflare infrastructure, which is whitelisted with zero confidence for site-specific abuse attribution and is not treated as evidence against this website. Evidence: - Served from AS13335, CLOUDFLARENET – Cloudflare, Inc., US; observed edge IP: 162.159.134.42. - TLS certificate: issuer WE1, validation level DV, valid to 2026-11-06T06:52:29+00:00. - The infrastructure record identifies Cloudflare CDN/WAF protection and 1 observed edge IP, with 0 likely origin candidates. ### Closing Assessment Ordinary informational browsing and initial project enquiries are reasonable, while independent confirmation of the contracting party and documented commercial terms should precede any high-value payment, advance commitment, or disclosure of sensitive information. _Written analysis generated 2026-08-20 by the TrustSniffer Analysis Engine from the evidence in this report._ ## What the analysis found 2 findings contributed to this verdict, raised by registration and ownership, behaviour in a sandbox. ### 01 Governance Risk - The registration record withholds contact details for the operator. (Registration and ownership `rule:KF_WHOIS_HIDDEN`) - Registration details are held behind a privacy service, so no operator is named publicly. This is common and legal, and it also means there is nobody to check. (Registration and ownership `rule:KF_WHOIS_PRIVATE`) ### 02 Dynamic Interaction Caution - The structure of the page changed sharply while it was loading. (Behaviour in a sandbox `rule:BEHAV_DOM_DENSITY_SPIKE`) - The page rewrote itself after it was interacted with, so what a visitor first sees is not what they end up on. (Behaviour in a sandbox `rule:BEHAV_DOM_DIFF_AFTER_INTERACTION`) - The page carried inline scripts written in a style TrustSniffer treats as suspicious. (Behaviour in a sandbox `rule:BEHAV_SUSPICIOUS_INLINE_SCRIPTS`) ### Signals weighed against the site - AbuseIPDB: 13 reports on hosting IP 162.159.134.42 (Cloudflare, Inc., Content Delivery Network), 0% confidence. The reports are attributed to shared infrastructure, not specifically to this website. ## Identity verification | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Status | UNVERIFIED | | Identity score | 30/100 | | Identity verification confidence | 25% | - No on-site identity signals detected _Identity verification measures whether the site can be independently connected to a real-world brand or person. It is separate from the classification confidence._ ## What TrustSniffer observed First-party facts recorded during the assessment of customdeckandporch.com. - The request stayed on customdeckandporch.com.

It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present. TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed. ## Related on TrustSniffer - [gmdsworld.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/gmdsworld.com) (Moderate Trust, 50/100) - [ahdhgcdb.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/ahdhgcdb.com) (Moderate Trust, 65/100) - [ispartauyduservisi.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/ispartauyduservisi.com) (Moderate Trust, 65/100) - [memoriesretreats.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/memoriesretreats.com) (Moderate Trust, 65/100) - [playonretro.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/playonretro.com) (Moderate Trust, 70/100) - [jobhuntsimplified.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/jobhuntsimplified.com) (Moderate Trust, 70/100) - [drdanielcantu.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/drdanielcantu.com) (Moderate Trust, 65/100) - [boostloans.co.za risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/boostloans.co.za) (Moderate Trust, 65/100) - [stake.bet risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/stake.bet) (Moderate Trust, 50/100) - [easyfinloans.co.za risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/easyfinloans.co.za) (Moderate Trust, 50/100) - [Every website and wallet TrustSniffer has assessed](https://trustsniffer.com/directory) - [Other domains assessed as legitimate](https://trustsniffer.com/directory/verified-legit) - [Check another website](https://trustsniffer.com/web-intelligence) - [Check a crypto wallet address](https://trustsniffer.com/on-chain-risk) - [The TrustSniffer Risk Index](https://trustsniffer.com/stats) ## Guides - [Stablecoin Freezes Sept 23, 2026: 11 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-09-23) - [Stablecoin Freezes, Sep 22, 2026: 60 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-09-22) - [The Malware Hidden Inside Minecraft Mods](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/minecraft-mod-malware) --- *Source: [TrustSniffer](https://trustsniffer.com/report/customdeckandporch.com) — independent automated trust & fraud analysis.
