Builders, remodelers and roofers across Northern California, checked against state license records and real city permits. Pick your city, pick the job, see who has done it.
64,142 licensed contractors within 150 miles of Sacramento, in 6 regions. Showing Sacramento area (15,414). Tap another region below to see its cities and permits.
Ranges come from the job values contractors declared on 2025–2026 permits in Sacramento, Elk Grove, West Sacramento, San Francisco, San Jose and Marin County. A declared value is what the contractor reported to the city for the permit; your own quote can differ, and Bay Area prices run higher, so use these to compare, not as a price.
Darker tiles had more permits for the project type selected above. Tap a tile to see the contractors who work there.
Permit Proven is a free public directory. We do not take requests, pass on your number or get paid by you.
Choose where the project is and what you need. You see every licensed contractor for it, with real permit history first.
License status, bond, workers' comp, years licensed, permits passed final inspection and typical job size. Open a profile or compare up to three.
Tap Call or copy the business phone. Get quotes, sign the contract and pay the contractor directly.
Always confirm the license at the CSLB lookup and get a written contract before work starts. Permit Proven does not recommend, guarantee or employ any contractor.
Every licensed contractor already has a free profile built from state license records and city permits. A paid profile adds what only the owner can provide: photos, website, description. Example below — a fictional company with a test 555 number.
The ranking is never for sale: order is set only by real permits and license data. Paid profiles get more information on the card, not a higher place. Ads are always labeled Sponsored.
Not listed, or want to complete your profile? Enter your California license number. We check it against the state board (CSLB) and fill in what we already know.
Every contractor with a current CSLB license in our ten classes based within 150 miles of Sacramento has a profile, plus every contractor named on a permit in our cities whose license we could not match. Under a project type you see contractors who did that work on permits first, then contractors whose license class covers it but who have no permits in our data.
Default order. More permits of the type you chose means more recent, inspected experience with exactly that work.
Share of a contractor's permits the city marked "Finaled" after the final inspection. Withdrawn and void permits are left out; expired ones count against it. Recent permits are often still open, so busy contractors can show a lower share. This sort lists contractors with 10+ permits first.
Paid placements, when they exist, will carry a "Sponsored" label and never change the order of the ranked list.
