Think of this as a "Contractor Of The Month" contest. Except here, a jury didn't get to choose who gets what. This time, we allowed all the 104,049 people living in Santa Cruz to be jurors by picking up various signals they created, including reviews, online & offline sentiment metrics, citations, Google search result rankings, links between websites, brand mentions, social media activity, and more.

Essentially, this competition focuses on the passion for building things, whether it's a beautiful home, a hospital, or a bridge. We discovered and reviewed all 51 contractors in Santa Cruz, then shortlisted 23 (prime contractors, independent contractors, subcontractors, general/specialty contractors, etc.). Finally, we ranked them based on their experience & expertise, feedback from clients, references, past projects, and professional reputation.
