How to read these numbers
Counts reflect businesses whose licensed category and categorized specialties indicate they perform that type of work, so a single general contractor may appear under several capabilities — most handle multiple trades in-house and subcontract the rest.
A home improvement license covers the contract and the overall project. Trades like plumbing, electrical and HVAC require separate state licenses, which is why those counts are smaller: many contractors deliver that work through licensed subcontractors rather than holding the trade license themselves.
License status is verified against state records. Insurance, reviews and response times are shown on individual profiles where we have them.
