Every Florida contractor must hold a state license.
92% of the 5,835 firms on the Miami permit file match an active license in Florida DBPR construction and electrical contractor license files. Our match can miss a firm that files under another name, so a missing match is a reason to check, not a finding.

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 Miami 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 20 permits, 5 of them a year or more old, the share that reached final inspection. A permit can stay open because of paperwork or timing, so this isn't a workmanship grade.
How long their permits take to reach final inspection, compared with other Miami contractors in the trade. Shown for firms with 10+ permits.
Matched by name against Florida DBPR construction and electrical contractor license files. Name matching can miss a license, so always check the number yourself.
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.
Miami specifics: Electrical permits on new homes stay open for the whole build, so electrical speed runs long. Permit expediters and owner-builders are left out of the rankings.
