Every trade card above opens a list of every contractor who pulled that kind of permit in the Town of Cary, October 2023 through September 2026: 2,901 firm listings across 16 kinds of work and 23,394 permits in all. Each row shows how many permits the firm filed, how many the city closed out, its usual filed job value and, where the state keeps one, whether its license matches. Names link to the firm's own page with its permits.
The busiest trades on the Cary record are HVAC (9,909 permits from 372 firms), EV charger (2,922 permits from 244 firms), remodel & repair (1,857 permits from 626 firms). The smallest file is demolition, with 154 permits from 58 firms, so its lists are short and each firm's record is thin.
Before you call anyone, see what jobs usually cost here, from the values filed on the permits: HVAC cost, EV charger cost, remodel & repair cost, water heater cost, electrical cost, deck, porch & sunroom cost, new home cost, plumbing cost, foundation & crawl space cost, solar cost, addition cost, gas line cost, pool & hot tub cost, irrigation cost, generator cost, demolition cost.
Nobody at our end ranks anyone. You move five sliders: does exactly this work (how many permits of this kind the firm filed), finishes the job (where the file records it, the share of its permits that passed a final inspection), fits my job & budget (how close its usual job is to yours), busy lately (permits in the last 12 months) and works near me (permits near your ZIP code). Each firm gets a 0–100 fit score from those weights and the list re-sorts as you drag. A short record counts for less, and a license problem puts a firm at the bottom whatever its score. No one can pay to be listed or moved up.
