We use public records to help you make a shortlist. They show what a contractor has filed and where they have worked in Albuquerque. They can't tell you whether someone will be right for your home.
New Mexico's Construction Industries Division (Regulation & Licensing Department) licenses general and trade contractors.
We don't hold the licensing board's file for Albuquerque, so we don't show license status for the 514 firms on the permit file. Check each one yourself.

The middle value recorded on this contractor's matching permits. It's a permit value, not a quote or the final price. Ask for a written estimate.
Matching Albuquerque permits in the most recent year of our data. It shows recent recorded activity here, not every job the company did.
For contractors with at least 5 permits a year or more old, the share that were completed, compared with permits of the same trade issued in the same quarter. A permit can stay open because of paperwork or timing, so this isn't a workmanship grade.

About the ranking: The score combines how much of this exact work a contractor has on record, how often their older permits reached completion (where we can measure it), how well their usual job size matches your budget, how recently they've been active, and how much of their work is near you. A measure we can't calculate is left out rather than guessed, and a thin record pulls the score toward the middle. A contractor whose matched license has a problem is listed after everyone else. You set the weights with the sliders on every list.
Albuquerque specifics: Albuquerque publishes no electrical, plumbing, mechanical or roofing permits after 2016, so only building trades are here. Since the city's 2025 records change many permits name a person instead of a company, so recent activity is understated. Speed isn't shown because the data has no completion dates.
