Rankings
Four rankings that get more traffic than the rest combined. Each one shows the date an editor last checked it, not the date the page was made.
How We Rank
TenBestFind is a small editorial team, not a lead-generation company. We check a contractor's licence against the state or provincial register, count the years it has pulled permits locally, look at the range of work it takes on, and read what customers say about it in public.
Ten names make the page, with the reasoning next to each one. The steps never change. The criteria do, because a good mover and a good electrician are not measured the same way.
Read the full methodologyWe list every company that genuinely works the area, then pull licence records, insurance status, years in business and the public complaint history for each one.
Companies are compared on what decides a job: who is licensed for that exact work, who answers after hours, who puts warranty terms in writing before the deposit.
Ten names go live with the criteria, the sources and the review date. If we could not verify something we say so. Every list is re-checked inside 90 days.
Locations
Rankings are organised by country, then state or province, then city. A roofing licence in Florida means something different from one in Ontario, so the research is done at the level where the rules actually live.
Recently Reviewed
New lists and re-checked ones, most recent first.
Guides
Short, practical reads: how to line up three quotes, what a licence does and does not cover, and what a fair price looks like in your market this year.
FAQ
Straight answers about how the lists are built and what they cost, which is nothing.
Ask something elseWe start with every company that genuinely serves the area, then check licensing, years in business, the range of work they take on, and public feedback. The strongest ten go on the page along with the criteria we used. Full detail is on the How We Rank page.
No. Editorial lists are not for sale. Businesses can buy a sponsored placement, which appears with a Sponsored label and sits outside the ranked list. Nobody at a sponsoring company sees a ranking before it publishes.
Each list is re-checked on a schedule, and sooner if something significant changes, like a licence lapsing or a company closing. The date on every page is the last time an editor actually reviewed it, not the day the page was created.
We add cities every month, working outward from the largest metros. If your city is not live, the state or province page will show the nearest covered areas, and you can tell us where to look next through the contact form.
Send us the page and what is out of date through the corrections form. We check reports against primary sources such as licence registries, and we note the change on the page when we make it.
Submit your business and we will add it to the research pool for your city and trade. Submitting does not buy a place on a list, but it does make sure we have your licensing, service area and coverage right when we next review that category.
