Frequently Asked Questions
What is a specialty contractor?
A specialty contractor is a licensed professional who focuses on a specific trade or building system, such as electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, or foundation repair. Unlike general contractors who oversee entire projects, specialty contractors have deep expertise in their specific trade.
How do I find a licensed contractor near me?
Use our directory to search by trade type and location. Every contractor listed includes license verification status, customer reviews, and contact information. You can filter by trade, state, and city to find exactly who you need.
What is the difference between a general contractor and a specialty contractor?
A general contractor manages overall construction projects and coordinates multiple subcontractors. A specialty contractor focuses on one specific trade like electrical, plumbing, or roofing. For targeted work, hiring a specialty contractor directly often saves money and ensures you get someone with deep expertise.
How do I verify a contractor's license?
Each state has a contractor licensing board where you can look up license status. Our directory includes license numbers and verification status for listed contractors, making it easy to confirm a contractor is properly licensed before hiring.
How many specialty trades are there?
California's Contractors State License Board recognizes 42+ specialty contractor classifications (C-2 through C-61). Our directory covers all 42 major specialty trades, from electricians and plumbers to specialized trades like elevator contractors and asbestos removal.
