Why ContractorRoster

The state board's job ends at the license. Ours starts there.

GC licensing is jurisdiction-heavy: California separates A, B, and B-2; most states roll residential and commercial into one. Cross-checking who's actually active in a given city takes hours. ContractorRoster pulls every active GC license in the area, normalizes the classifications, and adds phone, email, and website for over 95% of records.

Illinois: Illinois licenses roofing contractors at the state level (IDFPR, about 16,600 active). General contractors, electricians, plumbers, and masons are licensed by individual cities — Chicago alone publishes about 10,500 active licenses with phone numbers included. Other trades (HVAC, solar, fire protection, sub-trades) are regulated municipally with no statewide roster.

Use cases

  • Sourcing GC bidders for a multi-property rehab in a market you don't live in
  • Building a sales-territory list for construction insurance, materials, or software
  • Spinning up a vendor shortlist when expanding into a new metro
  • Outreach to ABC/AGC chapter members in a specific county
