## Pricing
from $1.50 / 1,000 results
This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?
An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.
## How to integrate an Actor?
If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.
For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.
Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
# README
## Houzz Scraper
**Houzz contractors, architects and designers β phone, website, address, rating, reviews, license and Best of Houzz awards β as clean JSON.**
Scrape Houzz professionals for lead generation: contractors, architects, interior designers and
every home-improvement trade. Get phone, website, address, rating, reviews, license number, Best of
Houzz awards, services and areas served from any Houzz search or profile URL. Pick a category and a
city on Houzz, paste the search, and the Actor walks every page of results in Houzz's own order. Each
professional comes with the contact person, typical job cost, a rating breakdown for work quality,
communication and value, the state license Houzz verified, followers and project count, and, if you
want them, every client review with the business's reply. There is no login and no API key. Built for
home-services lead generation, building-supply and software sales teams, market research on local
trades, and agencies that market to contractors.
### β‘ Quick start
```json
{
"startUrls": [
{
"url": "https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractor/san-francisco-ca-us-probr0-bo~t_11786~r_5391959"
}
],
"maxItems": 5
}
```
### 𧩠Input
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| -------------------- | ------- | -------- | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `startUrls` | array | yes | β | Houzz professionals searches for any category and location, such as `https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractor/san-francisco-ca-us-probr0-bo~t_11786~r_5391959`, or profile pages. Your filters are kept. |
| `includeDetails` | boolean | no | `true` | Open every profile for its website, contact name, services, areas served, license, awards, rating breakdown, followers and project count. Turn it off for a faster run with the search-card fields only. |
| `includeReviews` | boolean | no | `false` | Add each professional's client reviews, newest first, with rating, text, date, reviewer, project cost and the business's reply. Opens every profile, even with profile details off. |
| `maxReviews` | integer | no | β | Maximum number of reviews to keep per professional, for example 20. Leave it empty to get every review, up to 1,024. |
| `maxItems` | integer | no | β | Maximum number of professionals per start URL. The input form starts at 5; a search shows 15 professionals a page, so leave it empty to get every result the search lists. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | no | `{ "useApifyProxy": false }` | Proxy settings. Houzz works without a proxy from the Apify platform; switch to a datacenter proxy if requests start getting blocked. |
**Search or profile URLs.** Open [houzz.com/professionals](https://www.houzz.com/professionals),
choose a category (general contractors, architects, interior designers, kitchen and bath remodelers,
landscape contractors...) and type a city or ZIP code, then copy the address bar. Searches without a
location work too, as do single profile pages. **Include profile details** is on by default; with it
off, each row has what the search card shows (name, category, phone, address, coordinates, rating,
review count, typical job cost, description and badges). **Include reviews** adds one request per
professional. **Maximum professionals per URL** applies to each start URL separately. Leave the
**Proxy configuration** off unless runs start failing.
### π€ Output
Each professional is one dataset row, in the order the search ranks them. Sponsored placements Houzz
mixes into the results are left out, so every row is an organic result and none repeats. Fields the
business has not filled in are `null` (or empty), so every row has the same shape.

"text": "We had a wonderful experience working with SOD Home Group on our custom home. We purchased an older property with the goal of demolishing the original 1950s home and building our future dream home from the ground up. From start to finish, SOD took care of the entire process - design, architecture, construction, interior design, certifications, landscaping, finishing details and even the final cleaning before move in.\n\nOren, the business owner, was a great problem solver and an active listener throughout the project. What stood out to us was how involved he was, not only with issues related to the home itself, but also with broader concerns involving the surrounding community. He truly cared about helping us navigate the process and finding solutions along the way.\n\nThe entire SOD team was excellent to work with. Their designers and architect were especially impressive - world class, creative, thoughtful, intentional and passionate about their work. They listened carefully to our ideas and helped turn our vision into a beautiful, modern and comfortable home. When we did not agree with a proposal or changed our minds, they were always open minded, flexible and willing to address our concerns. They were true problem solvers.\n\nThe construction crew was also outstanding. We were often onsite during the build and the crew was always open to feedback. If something did not meet our expectations, they worked with us to make it right. They understood our high standards for quality and perfection, and we appreciated their craftsmanship, attention to detail and pride in their work. The entire team - craftsmen and craftswomen - brought care and skill to every stage of the project.\n\nSOD also designed and built our landscaping, which helped complete the overall vision for the property. Looking back, we are very grateful for the experience and the final result. They helped us create a home that feels thoughtfully designed, beautifully built and truly ours. We highly recommend SOD Home Group to anyone considering a custom home or major residential project.",
