Contractor Lead Scraper — Verified Emails (HVAC, Plumbing, Roofing, Electricians)

Generate a targeted HVAC contractor email list, plumber leads database, roofer contact list, or electrician leads directory — scraped live from Google Maps with verified contact details. This actor covers the full home services trades: HVAC companies, plumbers, roofers, electricians, general contractors, landscapers, painters, and pest control businesses, returning verified emails, phone numbers, addresses, ratings, and social links ready to import into your CRM.

Use Cases

• HVAC leads and contractor prospecting: Build an HVAC contractor email list or plumber leads database for any city or region in minutes — ideal for equipment suppliers, parts distributors, and refrigerant wholesalers targeting buying managers by territory.
• Electrician and roofer lead generation: Source electrician leads and roofing contractor contacts for product sales, subcontractor recruitment, or regional outreach. Filter by review count to prioritize high-volume, established businesses.
• Home service SaaS prospecting: Find home service leads for field service management, scheduling, invoicing, or estimating software by targeting active contractors in your region — sorted by rating to prioritize growth-minded operators.
• Commercial insurance outreach: Build targeted contractor email lists for commercial liability, bonding, and workers' comp campaigns. General contractors, electricians, and roofers are high-value prospects for specialty trade insurance.
• Subcontractor sourcing: Identify qualified subcontractors by trade, city, and rating. Contact owners directly via verified email rather than sorting through referral networks or online directories.
• Construction supply and material sales: Reach plumbing supply buyers, HVAC equipment purchasers, roofing material buyers, and electrical supply contacts by scraping contractors in your distribution territory.
• Staffing and recruitment: Identify high-rated home service businesses and reach hiring managers via verified email — far faster than posting on job boards and waiting for inbound applications.

How It Works

Phase 1 — Search Google Maps: The actor queries Google Maps for each contractor type and location you specify, paginating through all results to capture every business listing — not just the first page.

Phase 2 — Profile Extraction: For each listing, it pulls the full data panel: business name, category, address, phone number, website URL, star rating, and review count directly from the Google Maps record.

Phase 3 — Email Discovery: The actor visits each contractor's website and crawls the homepage, contact page, and footer to find email addresses. Multiple emails per site are captured and stored in allEmails.

Phase 4 — Email Verification: Every email candidate is checked via DNS/MX lookup and SMTP handshake to confirm deliverability before being marked emailVerified: true. No actual emails are sent.

Phase 5 — Social Media Extraction: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter/X profile links are extracted from each business website for multi-channel outreach.

Phase 6 — Output and Delivery: Results stream into the Apify dataset as they complete. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or push directly to HubSpot or Salesforce using the built-in CRM output formats.

Why This Actor vs. Apollo or ZoomInfo?

Feature	This Actor	Apollo / ZoomInfo
HVAC, plumber, roofer, electrician coverage	Comprehensive via Google Maps	Sparse — built for enterprise SaaS, not trades
Local home service leads	Fresh from Google Maps each run	Static database, often incomplete for SMBs
Verified contractor emails	Crawled from live business websites	Aged records, 20–40% bounce rates common
Cost per lead	Cents at scale	$0.50–$3.00+ per contact
Geographic targeting	Any city, ZIP, or metro area	Limited local precision
Subscription required	No — pay per run on Apify	Monthly or annual contracts

Apollo and ZoomInfo are designed for enterprise SaaS deal cycles — they have poor coverage of HVAC companies, plumbers, roofers, and local electrical contractors. This actor pulls directly from Google Maps, where every active home service business maintains a listing, giving you far more relevant contractor leads at a fraction of the cost.

Why This Actor vs. a General Google Maps Scraper?

Feature	General Google Maps Scraper	This Actor
Pre-filtered contractor results	No — returns mixed categories	Yes — every result is a contractor
Verified email addresses	Extra add-on	Built-in, included in price
Email deliverability check (DNS+SMTP)	Not available	Built-in
Social media profiles	Extra add-on	Built-in
CRM-ready export (HubSpot, Salesforce)	Not available	Built-in
Single-actor simplicity	2–3 actors chained	One actor, one click

Cost Estimation

Each run incurs two types of costs:

1. Pay-per-event pricing — You pay per enriched lead returned (see pricing on the actor page).
2. Platform usage — Apify charges for compute time and proxy bandwidth used during the run.

Typical costs for a 100-lead run:

• Run time: 5–15 minutes
• Platform usage: $0.50–$2.00 (depends on proxy type and email enrichment settings)
• Total per lead: varies by niche and location density

Tips for cost-effective runs:

• Start with a small test run (10–25 leads) to validate data quality for your target niche
• Disable email verification (verifyEmails: false) if you plan to verify in a separate tool
• Use specific locations (city + state) rather than broad regions to maximize result density

Use via Apify API

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });

// Example: get HVAC contractor leads in Dallas
const run = await client.actor('samstorm/contractor-lead-scraper').call({
    businessType: 'HVAC Company',
    location: 'Dallas, TX',
    maxResults: 100,
    enrichEmails: true,
    verifyEmails: true,
    outputFormat: 'hubspot',
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} HVAC contractor leads`);

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('YOUR_API_TOKEN')

run = client.actor('samstorm/contractor-lead-scraper').call(run_input={
    'businessType': 'HVAC Company',
    'location': 'Dallas, TX',
    'maxResults': 100,
    'enrichEmails': True,
    'verifyEmails': True,
    'outputFormat': 'hubspot',
})

items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items
print(f'Got {len(items)} HVAC contractor leads')

Multi-Location Workflows (200k+ leads/month)

Google Maps returns up to ~120 results per search query, so large-scale prospecting requires running the actor once per city or metro area and merging the datasets. Here's how to automate this:

Option 1: Apify API loop — Call the actor programmatically for each location in your territory:

const locations = ['Houston, TX', 'Dallas, TX', 'Austin, TX', 'San Antonio, TX'];

for (const location of locations) {
    const run = await client.actor('samstorm/contractor-lead-scraper').call({
        businessType: 'HVAC Company',
        location,
        maxResults: 200,
        enrichEmails: true,
        verifyEmails: true,
    });
    console.log(`Completed ${location}: run ${run.id}`);
}

Option 2: Apify Schedules — Set up a schedule in the Apify Console that triggers runs for different locations on a recurring basis. Use a separate Saved Task for each city.

Deduplication across runs: Each run deduplicates internally by business name + address. When merging datasets from multiple runs, deduplicate on the same key (name + address) to remove businesses that appear in overlapping metro areas.

Contractor Lead Generation FAQ

How do I build a contractor email list? Select your target contractor type (HVAC Company, Plumber, Roofer, Electrician, etc.) and enter the cities or ZIP codes you want to cover, then click Start. The actor queries Google Maps, crawls each contractor's website for contact emails, runs DNS and SMTP verification on every address, and delivers a clean, verified list ready to export or push to your CRM. No scraping experience required.

What types of contractors can I scrape leads for? All major residential and commercial trades are supported: HVAC companies, plumbers, roofers, electricians, general contractors, painters, landscapers, pest control companies, and more. The "Custom" business type lets you target any niche that appears on Google Maps — concrete contractors, fencing companies, flooring installers, waterproofing specialists, pool builders, or any other home service trade.

How much does building a contractor leads database cost? Unlike static list vendors that charge $500–$5,000 for a fixed contractor database that may be months old, this actor uses pay-per-lead pricing. Typical cost for a 100-lead run (including email verification) is a few dollars in Apify platform usage plus the per-lead fee shown on the actor page. There is no annual contract, and you get fresh data every time you run.

Can I filter contractor leads by city, ZIP code, or region? Yes — location targeting is a core feature. Specify individual cities ("Austin, TX"), ZIP codes, county names, or metro area terms. Each location runs as a separate Google Maps search, giving comprehensive local coverage for regional suppliers, insurance brokers, or SaaS companies doing territory-based prospecting across the construction industry.

How do I export contractor leads to HubSpot or Salesforce? Set outputFormat to hubspot or salesforce before running. HubSpot format maps columns directly to HubSpot Contact and Company import properties — drop the CSV into HubSpot's import tool with zero remapping. Salesforce format aligns to the Lead object standard with LeadSource pre-filled for attribution tracking.

How are contractor emails verified? Every email found on a contractor's website goes through two-stage verification: a DNS/MX lookup confirms the domain is configured to receive mail, then an SMTP handshake probes the specific mailbox to confirm it exists — without sending any actual message. The emailVerified: true flag means the address passed both checks. This eliminates the 20–40% bounce rates common with purchased contractor lists.

Why are contractor emails missing for some records? Email extraction depends on the business having a website with contact information visible in the HTML (not behind a contact form). Some contractors list only phone numbers or use only Facebook pages instead of a dedicated website. Records without emails still contain phone, address, and rating — useful for phone outreach or manual follow-up.

How many contractor leads can I get per run? Google Maps typically returns up to ~120 results per search query. For larger datasets — say, all HVAC companies in Texas — run the actor multiple times with different city or ZIP inputs and combine the datasets. Each run deduplicates by business name and address, so overlapping results are automatically removed.

How is this better than buying a static contractor list? Static contractor databases (InfoUSA, Lead411, D&B) are compiled from trade directories that can be 6–24 months stale. They frequently lack emails for small trade shops, and when emails are present they often belong to a generic info@ address rather than the owner. This actor pulls live from Google Maps and crawls each contractor's own website — so you get current business status, the actual published contact email, verified deliverability, and ratings to filter for high-quality prospects.

Can I use this to find subcontractors? Yes. Search by trade type and location to identify qualified subcontractors in your area. Sort your export by reviewCount or rating to prioritize established businesses. Verified emails let you reach owners directly without going through referral networks or trade directories.

Limitations

• Google Maps typically returns up to ~120 results per search query. Use multiple locations for larger datasets.
• Email extraction depends on the business having a website with publicly visible contact info. Businesses using only contact forms will not have emails extracted.
• SMTP verification may be blocked by some mail servers, resulting in unknown status rather than confirmed valid or invalid.
• This actor finds business and professional emails only — not personal consumer emails.
• Results reflect what is currently listed on Google Maps and may not include every contractor in a given market.

Recent Updates

• March 2026 — Version 1.0 release: production-ready with verified email pipeline
• March 2026 — Optimized proxy usage with aggressive resource blocking — ~50% cost reduction per run
• March 2026 — Added fail-fast error recovery: blocked requests abort immediately instead of retrying
• March 2026 — Added social media link extraction (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X)
