We use public records to help you make a shortlist. They show what a contractor has filed and where they have worked in Scottsdale. They can't tell you whether someone will be right for your home.
Arizona contractors must hold a Registrar of Contractors (ROC) license for the work they do.
We don't hold the licensing board's file for Scottsdale, so we don't show license status for the 2,944 firms on the permit file. Check each one yourself.
Ask the contractor for the license number and look it up at Arizona Registrar of Contractors. How to check a contractor's license in Arizona →
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 Scottsdale permits in the most recent year of our data (Jan 2025–Dec 2025; the file ends Dec 2025). It shows recent recorded activity here, not every job the company did.
For permits issued in 2023-2024, the share that were finalled, compared with permits of the same trade issued in the same quarter. A permit can stay open because of paperwork or timing, so this isn't a workmanship grade.

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.
Scottsdale specifics: Scottsdale moved to a new permit system in January 2026 and the open data has almost nothing since, so this shows 2023 to 2025. Small trade permits are filed at $0, so no typical cost is shown for them. Arizona's license list couldn't be downloaded automatically, so license status isn't shown yet.
