Who Uses This — and How

Real workflows, not marketing fluff.

❄️
HVAC Contractors
Filter by Mechanical permits and size quotes to sqft. Active permits mean the GC is staffing now.
Book installs before the drywall crew arrives.
Electricians
Electrical permits show up early in the cycle. Contact the GC before rough-in is scheduled.
Get panel and rough-in work locked in first.
🏠
Roofers
Roofing permits are fast-turnaround. Most owners haven't picked a roofer when the permit is issued.
Close in days, not weeks — the budget is already approved.
🔧
Plumbers
New construction and addition permits need rough-in before slab. Be first to the site walk.
Secure the full build contract, not just the service call.
🏗️
General Contractors
See every active permit in your market. Some owners pull permits before hiring a GC.
Pitch before the owner gets 3 other bids.
🛠️
Specialty Trades
Solar, pool, flooring, fire suppression — filter by project type and jump on niche jobs.
Less competition, higher margins on specialized work.
📦
Material Suppliers
Track high-value new construction and commercial projects. Sell before the contractor buys elsewhere.
Be the quoted supplier before bids go out.

Real Estate Investors

Contact owners of expired permits — they may be stuck and selling.

San Francisco Roofing Permits

Find active roofing permits in San Francisco. Every roofing permit represents a property owner with an approved budget who likely has not hired a contractor yet. Roofing permits close fast — most are issued after the owner has already decided to replace or repair the roof, but before they have selected a roofer.

Monitor San Francisco roofing permits daily to contact property owners within 24–48 hours of issuance. Early outreach significantly increases win rates because most homeowners get only one or two additional bids after the first contractor they speak with.

San Francisco's complex seismic codes and density restrictions mean roofing projects that do get permitted are typically high-value and carefully scoped. The permit data includes estimated costs that help roofing contractors prioritize the most lucrative opportunities.

San Francisco's mild but wet climate causes steady roof deterioration, while strict building codes require permits for almost every reroof. Project values are the highest in the country — a basic residential reroof can exceed $40,000 due to labor costs and seismic requirements.
