18 kinds of work on the Saint Paul record

What this does

Every trade card above opens a list of every contractor who pulled that kind of permit in the City of Saint Paul, July 2022 through June 2025: 5,341 firm listings across 18 kinds of work and 72,000 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 Saint Paul record are electrical (17,041 permits from 671 firms), roofing (16,928 permits from 1,322 firms), HVAC & gas (14,402 permits from 253 firms). The smallest file is demolition, with 101 permits from 45 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: electrical cost, roofing cost, HVAC & gas cost, plumbing cost, windows & doors cost, remodel & repair cost, fence cost, siding cost, solar cost, drain tile & waterproofing cost, garage & accessory cost, deck, porch & steps cost, fireplace & stove cost, stucco & plaster cost, addition cost, new home cost, radon mitigation 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 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.

Common questions

  • How do I compare contractors in Saint Paul?Pick the kind of work above. The next page lists every Saint Paul 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 Saint Paul permit data?The file covers July 2022 through June 2025. We read it about once a month, so a permit filed after Jun 2025 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 Saint Paul 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.
