Pick the job. The next page lists every Cincinnati firm with that kind of permit on record, October 2023 through September 2026. You choose what matters and the list moves.
Every trade card above opens a list of every contractor who pulled that kind of permit in the City of Cincinnati, October 2023 through September 2026: 2,430 firm listings across 9 kinds of work and 15,821 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 Cincinnati record are plumbing (6,119 permits from 258 firms), HVAC (5,741 permits from 385 firms), remodel & alteration (2,075 permits from 853 firms). The smallest file is garage & shed, with 111 permits from 80 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: plumbing cost, HVAC cost, remodel & alteration cost, structural repair cost, new home cost, addition cost, retaining wall cost, garage & shed 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.
