Houzz Contractor & Home-Pro Leads

Build a contact list of contractors and home professionals from Houzz — business name, phone number, website, full address and map coordinates, one row per business.

Why use this actor

• A phone number on essentially every row — the field that actually makes a lead usable
• Full postal address plus latitude/longitude, so rows drop straight into a CRM or a map
• Any professional category — general contractors, kitchen and bath remodelers, landscapers, architects
• City and metro targeting by pasting a directory address
• Business website and social profiles where the company lists them
• No account and no key required

How it works

1. You choose one or more Houzz professional categories (or paste directory addresses for a specific city).
2. The actor walks the directory listings, 15 businesses per page, for as many pages as you allow.
3. Each business becomes one row with its contact and location details, de-duplicated across pages.
4. Results stream into your dataset, ready to download as JSON, CSV or Excel.

You don't need to manage scrapers or infrastructure.

Notes and limits

• Field coverage, measured on a live run of 25 businesses: name 25/25, phone 25/25, address and coordinates 25/25, website 4/25. Most businesses route enquiries through Houzz rather than publishing a site, so treat website as a bonus rather than a guarantee.
• Star ratings and review counts are not included. They are not part of the directory listing this actor reads, and inventing them from a different source would make the row less trustworthy, not more.
• Each page lists 15 businesses; raise maxPagesPerCategory together with maxItems to go deeper.
• A page that returns nothing produces an error row explaining why, so a gap never silently looks like "no contractors".
• This collects public business-directory information — company contact details, not personal data.
