These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The domain is 17 years old (registered 6242 days ago) and displays all hallmarks of a genuine local contracting business: a detailed service menu (kitchen, bathroom, basement remodeling, waterproofing), a professional portfolio with photo galleries, employment listings, testimonials, and a single corporate email address on the domain. The page loads cleanly with no countdown timers, login forms, or credential-harvest patterns. However, six antivirus engines—ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, and CyRadar—flag the domain as malicious or phishing. The hosting IP (35.206.108.64) has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. This conflict suggests either a false-positive detection wave (common for older domains with inconsistent SSL or DNS history) or a compromised page element. The lack of independent review-site data and the domain's absence from global traffic rankings prevent full corroboration of legitimacy.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents a full-featured contractor portfolio with service descriptions (kitchen, bathroom, basement remodeling, waterproofing, commercial construction), photo galleries, testimonials, employment page, and a blog. The body text claims 25+ years of experience and serves Racine, Kenosha, Milwaukee, and Lake Forest IL. No scam-family patterns (countdown, fake giveaway, credential harvest, malware payload) were detected in the page structure.

Infrastructure

Valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt with 85 days remaining. Hosting IP 35.206.108.64 (Google Cloud) has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score of 0/100 (lower is better). No cross-domain redirects, homoglyph tricks, or internationalized domain names detected. The domain uses standard WordPress/CMS external resources (Google Tag Manager, WordPress stats, Tawk.to chat, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram embeds).

Domain History

Registered 6242 days ago (approximately 17 years), making it one of the oldest domains in the construction space. Registrar is Network Solutions, LLC. WHOIS privacy is disabled, suggesting a transparent business registration. No recent re-registration or suspicious ownership changes noted.

Web Reputation

Six antivirus engines flag the domain as phishing or malicious: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, and CyRadar. Browser blocklists are clean. Our sandbox did not flag the page. The hosting IP has zero abuse reports. Independent review aggregators returned no data (N/A across all three checked). The domain is not indexed in global traffic rankings, which is typical for small regional businesses with limited online visibility.

Risk Factors
4
  • Six antivirus engines (ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar) flag the domain as phishing or malicious, creating a significant trust conflict.
  • Domain not indexed in global traffic rankings, limiting independent verification of business legitimacy.
  • No independent review-site data available to corroborate the business's reputation or customer satisfaction.
  • Older domains with inconsistent SSL or DNS history can trigger false-positive detections across multiple engines.
Positive Signals
5
  • Domain is 17 years old with stable registration history, inconsistent with typical scam-site lifecycle.
  • Hosting IP (35.206.108.64) has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score.
  • Page displays comprehensive contractor portfolio: service menu, photo galleries, testimonials, employment listings, and blog.

  • Valid SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt with no redirect tricks, homoglyph attacks, or IDN abuse.
AI Recommendation
Before engaging this contractor, verify the business independently: call the phone number listed on the site, check for physical office location in Racine or Milwaukee, and search for customer reviews on Google Maps or local business directories. The antivirus flags are likely false positives given the domain's age and clean infrastructure, but independent verification is prudent for any contracto

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review flags brewercontracting.com as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — brewercontracting.com scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. brewercontracting.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR2, expiring in 85 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • brewercontracting.com is 17.1 years old, registered on 5/15/2009 through Network Solutions, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 10 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged brewercontracting.com as malicious or suspicious (10 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. brewercontracting.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • brewercontracting.com resolves to an IP operated by Google LLC in US (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 17, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around brewercontracting.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
