How to use this directory

Three steps to the right contractor.

From "something's broken" to a number on your phone — without getting trapped in a lead form or sorted by who paid the most.

  1. 01

    Start with the trade

    Use the big entry points for plumbing, HVAC, electrical, tree, roofing, and more instead of hunting through thin city pages.

  2. 02

    Read the proof inline

    Trust tiers, public review signals, service tags, and evidence pages keep the source trail close to the decision.

  3. 03

    Move when you are ready

    Call, compare, verify, or report a stale listing. The directory should help you decide, not trap you in a lead form.

🏗️ Proof of work, not just stars

We rank contractors by verified building permits, not reviews you can buy.

Other directories show you star ratings (game-able) and "verified" badges (mostly self-attested). ProFix publishes permit-pull leaderboards sourced from county building departments — the unfakeable proof that a contractor actually does the work they claim. Per-trade, per-county, refreshed nightly.

Free homeowner tools

Useful before you ever place a call.

The home-services directory should not just be a list of names. It should help you figure out the job, the urgency, and the right next step.
