Open data
Public machine-readable datasets for researchers, reporters, partners, and AI systems. These feeds only include what we actually publish or explicitly map, and they intentionally keep suppressed rows out.
Published open-data feeds are available under CC BY 4.0.
Contractor profiles dataset
30078 public profiles with 390118 suppressed rows kept out of the feed.
License evidence dataset
16394 licensable public profiles with state-linked vs. lookup-required evidence states.
License-verification coverage dataset
486,586 contractors with a verified-active state-board license across 32 ingested states (662,419 matched incl. expired/suspended), plus the official license-lookup directory for all 51 jurisdictions. "Verified-active" applies only to the rostered states — the directory is where to verify yourself, not a verified roster. Computed live.
City taxonomy dataset
150 public city pages plus 40 observed service-area cities.
Permit offices dataset
14 permit offices and trade-level permit notes for the Ohio footprint we publish today.
Real Cost Index dataset
3,411,397 real building permits across 50 metros and 31 states → median + interquartile (P25–P75) cost benchmarks for 25 trades (computed live). A declared-value median, not a pure price index.
Cost Trends dataset
53 fixed-panel permit-value trend series across 12 metros for 2018–2025 (computed live).
Contractor Wage Atlas dataset
Average annual + weekly home-service industry wages per trade, national and by state, from BLS QCEW. This is the wage workers earn, not the price to hire a contractor — computed live.
Trade Distribution dataset
The national trade mix and per-state general-contractor share across contractor listings matched to official public records — counts trade tags, selection-shaped by what each state licenses. Computed live.
Construction Establishment Density dataset
Per-state home-service contractor establishment counts and employment from BLS QCEW (the same base that normalizes the construction-safety study). Establishments are business locations, not individual contractors. Computed live.
Surety-Bond Coverage dataset
Of the contractors a state board confirms are active, the share that also carry a surety bond on file — scoped to the four boards (CA, WA, OR, MN) whose roster publishes a real bond field. Stated per-roster. Computed live.
Listing Verifiability dataset
A self-audit: per-state share of our own contractor listings that carry a license number matching the board's records. Measures OUR data completeness, never contractor quality; aggregate only. Computed live.
Building-Code Adoption dataset
The adopted NEC, IRC, and IECC code edition for each of the 50 states plus DC, and how many editions behind the current baseline each is. Editions-behind is permitting context, not a safety rating. Computed live.
Where to File a Complaint dataset
For every U.S. state plus DC: the state Attorney General consumer-complaint channel, the contractor licensing board, and the canonical license-lookup URL — the place to verify and report. Computed live.
Contract Cancellation Rights dataset
The right to cancel a home-improvement contract across all 51 U.S. jurisdictions — the federal FTC cooling-off rule plus each state's own statute and any construction-specific window. General information, not legal advice. Computed live.
By the Numbers (directory self-stats)
The directory's own aggregate statistics — vetted pros, board-verified-active licenses, Real Cost Index coverage, computed studies, and agent-callable tools — each computed live and cited to its loader.
Usage terms
Every published feed is free to use — commercial use included — under CC BY 4.0, which requires attribution to ProFix Directory with a link back to the source page. Numbers are computed live from real public records and refreshed as the underlying boards and permit datasets update. Provided as-is, with no warranty: a license or permit record is a point-in-time snapshot, so confirm current status at the official source before relying on it.
