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 Cary 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 passed final inspection, 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.
How long their permits take to pass final inspection, using the town's dates, compared with other Cary contractors in the trade. Shown for firms with 10+ permits.

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.
Cary specifics: The Town cuts contractor names at 30 characters, so some names appear shortened. About 1 in 7 permits (mostly in the Chatham County part of Cary) has no Wake County home value. North Carolina's boards don't publish bulk license lists, so license status isn't shown.
