Contact

Reaching the editorial and operational team behind this commercial contractor directory requires selecting the appropriate channel based on the nature of the inquiry. This page covers the contact options available, office access details, the geographic scope served by this resource, and the specific information that should accompany any inbound message to ensure a useful response. Whether the inquiry concerns directory listing standards and criteria, a contractor credential question, or a content correction, routing it correctly reduces resolution time.

Additional contact options

The primary contact form on this page handles the majority of general inquiries, but structured requests benefit from a more targeted approach. The following channels correspond to distinct inquiry types:

1. Listing submissions — Contractors seeking to appear in the commercial construction services directory should use the dedicated listing intake path described in how to list your commercial contractor business. General contact messages requesting a listing will be redirected there regardless.

2. Verification inquiries — Questions about the directory verification process — including license checks, insurance documentation status, or credential flags — require a structured submission with supporting documentation attached. Unstructured messages asking "why was my listing removed" without reference to a business name, license number, or state will be deprioritized.

3. Content corrections — Factual errors in reference articles covering topics such as commercial contractor licensing requirements, bonding requirements, or lien waivers should be flagged with the specific page URL and the source document that supports the correction.

4. Editorial and partnership inquiries — Requests related to content coverage, sector expansion, or data partnerships are handled separately from listing and verification requests. These typically involve a 5–10 business day review cycle before any response.

5. Technical issues — Broken links, search malfunctions, or rendering problems should include the browser version, operating system, and the specific URL where the issue occurred.

Separating inquiries by type is not bureaucratic preference — it reflects the operational reality that a team managing a national-scope contractor database across more than 20 trade categories cannot process undifferentiated message queues efficiently.

How to reach this office

This directory operates as a nationally scoped digital reference property without a walk-in public office. All contact is handled through the web-based form on this page or through the structured intake paths described above.

Response timelines vary by inquiry category:

• Listing submissions: acknowledgment within 3 business days; full review within 15 business days
• Verification inquiries with documentation: 5–7 business days
• Content corrections with cited sources: 7–10 business days
• Editorial and partnership: 10–15 business days
• Technical issues: 2–3 business days for acknowledgment; resolution varies by complexity

Messages sent without adequate detail — for example, a listing inquiry that omits the contractor's state of operation or license number — will receive a standard information request reply before any substantive review begins. Providing complete information in the first message is the single most effective way to accelerate resolution.

Service area covered

This directory covers commercial contractor services across all 50 US states. Coverage is not uniform in depth across every state — trade categories with federally regulated licensing frameworks (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) have deeper credential verification infrastructure than categories governed exclusively at the state or municipal level.

The scope distinction that matters most for contact purposes is the difference between national reference content and localized listing data:

• National reference content — Articles explaining the commercial contractor bid process, contract types, project delivery methods, and payment schedules apply across jurisdictions and are not tied to any single state.
• Localized listing data — Contractor profiles in categories such as commercial electrical contractor services, commercial roofing, or commercial HVAC are state- and city-specific. A listing inquiry must name the state and metro area to be actionable.

Sector-specific coverage — including healthcare facility contractors, industrial contractors, warehouse and distribution, and municipal and government contractors — follows the same national scope with localized listing depth.

What to include in your message

The difference between a message that receives a substantive response within one review cycle and one that generates a clarification loop almost always comes down to specificity at the point of submission. Every message should include the following elements, adapted to the inquiry type:

For listing and verification inquiries:
- Business legal name (exactly as it appears on the contractor license)
- State of primary licensure and license number
- Trade category — reference the relevant category page such as commercial masonry, commercial glazing and curtain wall, or commercial demolition
- Insurance carrier name and policy expiration date, if verification is the subject
- The specific action requested (add new listing, update existing, dispute removal)

For content correction inquiries:
- The exact URL of the page containing the error
- The specific text that is incorrect, quoted verbatim
- The named public source — statute, agency document, or regulatory body — that supports the correction
- The corrected text as it should read

For technical issue reports:
- URL where the issue appears
- Browser name and version number
- Operating system
- A brief description of what was expected versus what occurred

For editorial and partnership inquiries:
- Organization name and nature of the organization
- Specific area of interest (e.g., expanding coverage of design-build services or pre-construction services)
- The proposed scope of engagement in 3–5 sentences

Messages that address all applicable fields in a single submission eliminate the most common source of delay in this directory's intake process.
