What contractors are saying

★★★★★

"I called a homeowner two days after their roofing permit was issued. They hadn't hired anyone yet. That job was $14,000. PermitRadar paid for itself about 40 times over."

M

Roofing contractor, Chicago IL
★★★★★

"Before this I was just waiting for referrals. Now I know about every HVAC permit in my three zip codes the day after it's filed. It's like having an inside source at the city."

★★★★★

"The email comes every morning, I scan it with coffee. Take 5 addresses, drop off door hangers on my way to the first job. My pipeline is full for the first time in years."

What contractors say

★★★★★

"I door-knocked 4 addresses from my first week of alerts. Landed 2 jobs. The tool paid for itself 20x over in month one."

Dave K.
Electrician, Northern NJ
★★★★★

"I was spending $800/month on HomeAdvisor leads. PermitRadar is $49 and the leads are better because I'm first, not one of six."

Carlos R.
Roofing contractor, Miami
★★★★★

"My whole morning routine is: coffee, PermitRadar email, drive the neighborhood. It's the most consistent lead source I've ever had."
