Contracting made simple. No BS.
Search every licensed contractor in the county by trade and area, check the licence behind the name, and message the ones you want. No bidding, no lead fees, no cold calls.
Or browse every licensed contractor in Los Angeles County.
CSLB register
Listings come from California's public contractor licence file, imported whole rather than sold as placements.
Dated, not implied
Every profile shows when its licence data was last imported. A snapshot is never presented as live status.
Approximate by default
Unclaimed listings publish a ZIP-code area, never a street address. Many are sole traders working from home.
Free on both sides
No lead fees, no subscription, no charge to appear or to get in touch.
Lead-generation sites sell you. We introduce you.
The difference is not tone, it is the business model. Here is the same four questions answered by both.
| Question | Lead-generation sites | ContractorMarketplace |
|---|---|---|
| Who gets your contact details | Sold to four to six contractors within minutes, whether or not you are ready | Only the contractors you choose to message, and only after you message them |
| Where the listings come from | Whoever paid to appear, ranked by what they paid | The CSLB public licence register, imported whole. Nobody buys a position |
| Who pays, and for what | Contractors pay $40 to $120 per lead, which makes you the product | Nobody pays to be here. No lead fees, no subscription, no cut of the job |
| What a badge means | A vendor tier, or a logo the platform sells | An approved claim plus a licence active at the last import, with the date shown |
Three steps, and none of them is a sales call
You stay anonymous until you decide otherwise. Nobody calls you because nobody bought the right to.

Check the licence
Every profile shows the licence number, its status, and the date that data was imported. A licence that is suspended says so, and nothing is marked verified on a claim alone.

Message the ones you want
Contact goes one way: you choose who to write to, and your details reach nobody else. Contractors reply once they have claimed their listing.
