A Four-Step Process with Municipal Rigor
The process mirrors the city’s own verification layers: search, filter by license type and borough, submit a formal request, and review contractor responses—including their DOB registration status and proof of insurance coverage—before signing any agreement.
- SearchFind all active general contractors by name, license number, or specialty.
- FilterNarrow by DOB license class (General Contracting, Limited Class A, etc.), borough, and service area.
- RequestSubmit your project brief—only what’s required by NYC’s contracting disclosure laws.
- Review & HireCompare responses side-by-side, including license expiry dates and insurance validation status.
Public License Lookup
Use the same search fields as the NYC Department of Buildings—by contractor name, license number, or borough—to verify active status, expiration date, and any pending violations—just as a building inspector would before issuing a permit.
Real Projects, Verified with Permit Records
Every case study references a public permit (DOB issued number), includes before-and-after photos, and describes scope changes approved by DOB—no curated portfolios, just documented work compliant with NYC building codes.
