Names are as the city recorded them. Office is the contractor's address on building permits; the trade reports don't list one. A count is permits, not jobs: one job can need several.

Where the List Comes From

  • The city's permit reports. Madison publishes a construction permit report and a separate electrical, plumbing and HVAC permit report, searchable by date.(City of Madison) This list combines both for October 2025 through September 2026: 24,861 permit records naming a business. Permits pulled by owners are left out.
  • Type of work comes from the permit description. Building permits are sorted by words in the city's description ("re-roof", "siding", "deck"). One permit can count for more than one type. 395 building permits, such as storefront build-outs, didn't match a type and count only toward the total. Electrical, heating and cooling, and plumbing come from the city's trade report.(City of Madison)
  • What's not here. Owner names and job addresses are in the city's reports but not on this page. Work outside the City of Madison isn't included. We update the list monthly; the city says its staff review report data at the start of each month.(City of Madison)

How to Use It

  1. Make a short list. Pick the type of work and look for businesses that do a steady amount of it in Madison.
  2. Check the license. The credential checker shows which Wisconsin credential the job needs; look it up on license.wi.gov.
  3. Look at their permits. The city's permit search finds permits by contractor, so you can see the kind of jobs they pull permits for.(City of Madison)
  4. Get it in writing. More than one bid, and a written contract that meets Wisconsin's home improvement rules.
  5. After a storm, read the rules for storm-damage contractors before you sign anything.

Badger Homeowner doesn't recommend contractors and takes no money from them. Every business on a Madison permit is listed the same way.

Questions

Does a high permit count mean a contractor is good?

No. It shows how much permitted work the business did in Madison in the window, not the quality of the work, its prices or how it treats customers. Use it to find who does the kind of job you need, then check each one yourself.

Why isn't a contractor I know on the list?

It only includes businesses named on a City of Madison permit in the window. Work in other towns isn't here, a sub may work under another company's permit, and repairs under $500 don't need a permit in Madison.(City of Madison)

Does being on the list mean the contractor is licensed?

Not by itself. Wisconsin law bars a municipality from issuing a building permit to someone who needs the Dwelling Contractor credential unless they show it.(Wis. Stat. 101.65) But credentials can lapse after a permit is issued, so check the state license lookup before you sign.

How do I see a contractor's actual permits?

Search by contractor in the city's permit records, or run the permit reports for a date range.(City of Madison)
