Contractor Leads — Plumbers, Electricians, HVAC & Roofers

Plumbers, electricians, HVAC companies, roofers, painters, landscapers, cleaners and other home-service businesses in any city worldwide, with phone, website, email where published, address and a normalised trade field. Open data. $0.003 per city + $1 per 1,000 businesses.

Find plumbers, electricians, HVAC companies, roofers and other trades in any city, with their business phone numbers. Type a city or draw a radius, pick trades, and get one row per business with phone (E.164), website, business email where published, full address and coordinates, plus a normalised trade field (Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC, Roofing & exteriors, General contractor & remodeling, Painting, Landscaping & garden, Cleaning, Pest control, Locksmith & security, Solar and more) worked out from the business's own categories, so mixed lists sort cleanly.

Made for companies that sell to the trades: field-service and scheduling software, lead-gen and marketing agencies, suppliers and distributors, insurers and franchise developers. Unlike directory scrapers limited to the US, it works in any country Overture covers.

The data is the open Overture Maps places dataset (Meta, Microsoft, Foursquare and other sources). Nothing is scraped from Google, Yelp, Angi, Houzz or the BBB, so there are no reviews, ratings or licence numbers.

$0.003 per city query + $1 per 1,000 businesses. A query with no matching businesses is free.

How much does it cost?

Transparent pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for what you get, and the actor always respects your run budget: set a maximum total charge and it stops cleanly at the cap instead of overrunning.

Event	Price	Charged	Worked example
area-query	$0.003	once per run, when the area query returns at least one place	Any city, bbox or radius = $0.003; a query with no matching places is free
place-result	$0.001	per place row delivered (contacts, address, coordinates, sources and attribution included)	200 dentists in Austin = $0.003 + $0.20 = $0.203; 1,000 restaurants in Berlin = $1.003
apify-actor-start	$0.00005	per run per GB of memory (platform start fee)	One run at 1 GB = $0.00005

Input options

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
location	string	no	—	A city, optionally with region or country: "Austin, TX", "Berlin", "London, Ontario", "Paris France". You can also type "dentists in Austin TX" (the part before "in" becomes the category when Categories is empty), coordinates "30.2672,-97.7431,3km", or a bbox "west,south,east,north". 32,000+ cities with 15,000+ people are built in; smaller towns are looked up in Overture's own divisions data and need a region or country. Ignored when bbox or lat/lon are set.
categories	array	no	["plumbing","electrician","hvac_service","roofing","contractor","painting","landscaping","home_cleaning","pest_control_service","handyman"]	Home-service trades (Overture ids or plain words): plumbing, electrician, hvac_service, roofing, contractor, painting, landscaping, home_cleaning, pest_control_service, handyman, key_and_locksmith, flooring_contractor, solar_installation, tree_service, mover … Use home_service for every trade at once.
maxPlaces	integer	no	1000	Stop after this many places. Highest-confidence places come first (nearest first for a radius search). Places beyond the cap are never charged.
keyword	string	no	""	Optional. Only places whose name (or brand name) contains this text, case-insensitive, e.g. "Starbucks" or "dental".
radiusKm	number	no	—	Radius for lat/lon (default 5 km). With a city name it searches this radius around the city centre instead of the whole city. Results get distanceKm and come nearest first.
countryCode	string	no	""	Optional two-letter ISO code (US, DE, GB...). Picks the right city when a name exists in several countries and keeps only places whose address is in that country.
requirePhone	boolean	no	false	Skip places without a phone number.
requireWebsite	boolean	no	false	Skip places without a website. Skipped places are never charged.
requireEmail	boolean	no	false	Skip places without a business email (after the personal-email filter).
includePhones	boolean	no	true	Business phone numbers as published for the place, normalised to E.164 (+15125550100) where possible.
includeEmails	boolean	no	true	Business emails from the source data. Addresses on the business's own website domain and role mailboxes (info@, office@, bookings@...) are kept; free-mail addresses (gmail, outlook...) are kept only when they contain the business name. Others are dropped as possibly personal and counted in droppedPersonalEmails.
matchAlternateCategories	boolean	no	true	Also return businesses whose secondary categories match (many contractors list several trades). On by default here.
minConfidence	number	no	0.5	Overture's 0-1 confidence that the place exists as described. 0.5 drops most stale or duplicate records; 0.9 keeps only well-corroborated places; 0 returns everything.
bbox	array	no	—	Optional [west, south, east, north] in degrees (longitude, latitude, longitude, latitude), e.g. [-9.20, 38.69, -9.10, 38.76]. Up to 1.5 x 1.5 degrees (about one metro area). Takes priority over location.
lat	number	no	—	Optional centre latitude for a radius search (with lon and radiusKm). Takes priority over location.
lon	number	no	—	Optional centre longitude for a radius search.
includeFields	array	no	[]	Optional. Keep only these fields in each row (id is always kept). Any of: id, name, category, basicCategory, categoryHierarchy, alternateCategories, confidence, operatingStatus, address, fullAddress, lat, lon, distanceKm, phones, websites, emails, socials, brand, sources, licence, licenceUrls, attribution, googleMapsUrl, overtureRelease, droppedPersonalEmails. Keep attribution if you republish the data.
release	string	no	""	Optional, advanced: pin an Overture release such as 2026-09-23.1. Empty = the newest release (Overture publishes monthly).

Limits & honest notes

• No reviews, ratings, licence or insurance numbers (open data). trade is derived from Overture categories; "Other home service" covers the rarer ones.
• Works worldwide: any city, a radius around a point, or a bounding box (one metro area per run).
• Open data, not Google: no reviews, ratings, review counts, opening hours, photos, popular times or price levels. The Google Maps link in each row is a plain search URL built from the name and address; nothing is fetched from Google.
• Freshness follows Overture's monthly releases. The newest release is found automatically (or pin one with release). operatingStatus is often empty, so a closed business can still appear until a source drops it; minConfidence (default 0.5) filters most stale records.
• One query per run, up to 1.5 x 1.5 degrees (about one metro area). For a region or country, run once per city. A city query typically reads 15-45 MB of public GeoParquet in 5-15 seconds at 1 GB memory.
• City names resolve offline from a built-in list of 32,000+ cities (Overture divisions, OpenStreetMap-based); smaller towns are looked up in Overture's divisions data and need a region or country ("Dripping Springs, TX"). No external geocoder is called.
• The run's spend limit is respected: the area query is reserved first, places are charged before delivery, and the run stops cleanly at the limit.

Data licence and attribution

Places come from the Overture Maps Foundation places theme. Each row's sources lists the contributing datasets with their record ids, licence and licenceUrls give the licences, and attribution holds the required credit lines. If you republish the data, keep the attribution field (or show the lines below).

• © Overture Maps Foundation, overturemaps.org
• Meta, Microsoft, PinMeTo, Krick, RenderSEO, DAC, BrightQuery: "Data from . Available under CDLA Permissive 2.0." (CDLA-Permissive-2.0)
• Foursquare: "Copyright 2024 Foursquare Labs, Inc. All rights reserved. Available under Apache 2.0. Foursquare data was transformed to the Overture schema. Changed: 2026-03-18." (Apache-2.0)
• AllThePlaces: "Data from AllThePlaces. Available under CC0 1.0."

None of these licences is share-alike, so the rows may be used commercially, stored, merged with your own data and redistributed, provided the attribution and licence texts travel with them.

City boundaries used to turn a city name into a search area come from the Overture divisions theme: © OpenStreetMap contributors, Overture Maps Foundation, available under the Open Database License (ODbL) 1.0. They are used only for the search area and are not part of the output rows. The built-in city list is a derivative database offered under the ODbL; it is rebuilt from the public Overture release by a documented query.

Changes made by this actor: rows are selected by area, category, name and confidence; fields are flattened and renamed; phone numbers are normalised to E.164; possibly personal emails are removed.
