Frequently asked questions

Real questions contractors have asked us. If yours isn't here, email [email protected].

How is PermitGrab different from BuildZoom?

BuildZoom targets enterprise: $299-499/mo per market, annual contracts, designed for large general contractors and enterprise data buyers. PermitGrab targets the contractor SMB — 5-50 employee roofing, HVAC, plumbing, solar, restoration shops. Same data category, different price point, different sales motion.

Is BuildZoom worth the price?

For enterprise homebuilders pulling 200+ permits per month across 5+ markets — yes, the annual contract pricing pencils out. For a 12-employee roofing shop working 3 zip codes, you're overpaying. PermitGrab is the SMB-priced alternative.

How fresh are the leads?

We collect permits daily from the city and county portals. Most cities show permits within 24-48 hours of issuance. The 'Today's Hot Leads' block on each city page shows permits issued in the last 7 days.

Do they include phone numbers?

Yes — owner phones where available (from enrichment), plus the contractor's business phone where the permit data publishes it. Coverage varies by city — Phoenix, Miami-Dade, San Antonio currently top 3 by phone count.

How much does it cost?

PermitGrab is $149/month flat. No annual contract. Cancel anytime. No per-lead fee, no shared-lead surcharge, no surprises.

Can I try before paying?

Yes. Start a 14-day free trial with full Pro access — every contractor and owner phone, unlimited reveals, CSV export, and city alerts. A card is required to start, but cancel in one click anytime before day 14 and you won't be charged. After that it's $149/month, cancel anytime.

Can I import the leads into my CRM?

Yes — CSV export is included on Pro. Works with ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, JobNimbus, HubSpot, and any CRM that accepts CSV.
