Using SIC 1521 to build a home improvement contractor list

Most people searching for the home improvement SIC code are filling out a form or building a prospect list. If it is the second one, SIC 1521 is the starting filter and the useful work happens after it.

In our portal, SIC 1521 narrows the business file to single-family general contractors. From there you can layer on employee count, annual revenue, city, county, zip, or area code, and contact name where available.

Residential contractors are a moderate-turnover file

Single-family construction and remodeling companies are generally more stable than high-churn categories such as restaurants, but smaller contractors can still change phone numbers, ownership, or active status. Our US business data is refreshed quarterly, and we estimate roughly 90% accuracy on business records. Ask about refresh timing before buying a large contractor file.
