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.
Burlington, VT specifics: The City's public permit feed stopped updating on April 27, 2026, so Burlington's records cover April 2023 through March 2026, and permits still open on April 27 count as unfinished. Mechanical and plumbing permits carry no contractor name, so there are no HVAC or plumbing rankings; heat-pump installers appear through their electrical permits (Heat Pump). Condo units don't match the assessor's parcels, so condo permits show no home value. Vermont has no state license for general contractors or roofers, and electricians and plumbers are licensed as individuals with no firm-level list, so license status isn't shown.
