13 kinds of work on the Minneapolis record

What this does

Every trade card above opens a list of every contractor who pulled that kind of permit in the City of Minneapolis, October 2023 through September 2026: 5,675 firm listings across 13 kinds of work and 74,258 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 Minneapolis record are plumbing (20,012 permits from 497 firms), roofing (18,620 permits from 1,483 firms), HVAC & gas (18,180 permits from 298 firms). The smallest file is demolition, with 187 permits from 44 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: roofing cost, remodel cost, windows & doors cost, siding cost, solar cost, drain tile & waterproofing cost, garage & accessory cost, deck, porch & stoop cost, addition cost, new home cost, demolition cost.

How the order is set

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.

Common questions

  • How do I compare contractors in Minneapolis?Pick the kind of work above. The next page lists every Minneapolis firm with that kind of permit on record; set what matters to you (finishing jobs, size of job, recent work, distance) and the list re-orders. Then check the license yourself and ask for references.
  • How current is the Minneapolis permit data?The file covers October 2023 through September 2026. We read it about once a month, so a permit filed after Sep 2026 isn't here yet.
  • Is a high fit score a quality rating?No. It says how well a firm's public permit record matches what you told the page you value. It knows nothing about workmanship, price quotes or manners: get references and proof of insurance before you sign. How to verify a contractor →
  • How do I check a Minneapolis contractor's license?Ask for the license number and look it up at Minnesota DLI license lookup. Our lists match licenses by name, which can miss one, so the board's record is the one to trust.
