Contractor SearchA licensed-contractor directory, not a lead auction.
Contractor Search publishes a national directory of 79,000+ licensed contractor profiles built from state licensing records, so homeowners can find contractors, verify license status, and make contact directly — plus the guides and tools to compare bids well once they do.
What the site is trying to do
Finding a contractor usually starts with ads and review sites — surfaces that reward marketing budgets, not competence or standing. State license records are the one public signal that can’t be bought: whether a business is actually authorized to do the work, and whether that authorization has lapsed.
Contractor Search puts those records in one searchable place. Browse by trade, state, and city, check license status on every profile, and contact the business directly. The guides and tools then help you compare the bids you collect on written scope instead of price alone.
What the site is not
- It is not a lead-auction site.
- It is not a fake directory — all profiles are drawn from official state license boards.
- It is not a promise that the cheapest quote is the smartest quote.
- It is not a substitute for license checks, site visits, or written proposals.
Where the content comes from
Contractor profiles are sourced from official state license boards — the California CSLB, Texas TDLR, Washington L&I, Oregon CCB, and others. No AI-generated contractor names, no synthetic listings. Every profile links back to the public source record. Guides and planning tools are authored editorially, not generated from thin templates.
How the site grows from here
More state license board importers, more trades beyond painters and electricians, and deeper city coverage. The directory already holds 79,000+ profiles across 14+ states. The path is bigger coverage and more useful profiles — not more thin pages.
