Contractor Blog

Recently added a new way to search for contractors. Used to be you had to start with your category then drill down from there to your local area. Now you can start with your state and then jump right into the local contractors for each state by category.

Happy Holidays!

Added a new category for building materials and supplies.

This is a great place to start when looking for supplies for your next building project. As with all findcontractor.org categories, you can find local building materials by state, city, zipcode, areacode, and more. As with any project, it can only be as good as the supplies used, so be sure to find a quality building materials supplier right for you.
If you know of a building materials supplier that isn’t listed, please let us know by replying to this post. Thanks!

While many folks put icicle lights on their roof for decoration. Many people have natural icicles on their roof. Why do some homes form icicles when other do not? It’s all about heat - well escaping heat really. The roof does not have enough insulation so heat is escaping and melting the snow. The melted snow runs down the roof until it gets to the edge. Now the edge of the roof is not so warm (as there is no heat escaping under the edge), and so the melted snow then freezes. Frozen water is then…you guessed it - ice. A little bit of ice and a few icicles is probably nothing to worry about. It’s when lots of snow comes that the problem arises.

If you are looking for a contractor, this is a great place to start. Browse by category then, drill down from state to city, zip code, area code, and more.

Recently added a new zip code search as well.

This search is of course free.
