Every trade card above opens a list of every contractor who pulled that kind of permit in the City & County of Honolulu (Oʻahu), July 2022 through June 2025: 2,000 firm listings across 12 kinds of work and 31,950 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 Honolulu record are solar (16,068 permits from 110 firms), electrical (8,223 permits from 408 firms), solar water heating (2,274 permits from 30 firms). The smallest file is retaining wall, with 89 permits from 65 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: solar cost, electrical cost, solar water heating cost, new home cost, remodel & repair cost, addition cost, fence & gate cost, demolition cost, ADU & ohana unit cost, swimming pool cost, plumbing 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 on file (Jul 2024–Jun 2025)) 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.
