The data

One state, every contractor, every field a producer needs.

Birdray is an intelligence layer, not a list. It joins California's public contractor licensing records with the workers' comp coverage certificates filed against them, business registrations, permits, and what the contractor says about itself online, into one profile per company, refreshed weekly.

What each field comes from.

Every field is public or provided by the contractor. Birdray's work is the joining, the freshness, and the people layer.

State licensing records

Licence number and status, classifications (trades), entity type, business and DBA names, address, qualifier and officer names, bond and disciplinary flags.

Workers' comp coverage certificates

Carrier, policy effective and expiration dates, exemptions, lapses and reinstatements. This is the renewal date the whole product is built around.

Business registrations and permits

Secretary of State standing and entity changes, building permits by jurisdiction where published, fleet and authority filings where they exist.

The contractor's own web presence

Website read for services, service areas and years in business; Google rating and review themes; recent mentions; people and emails listed on the site.

Owner lookups (paid, on demand)

Owner email and mobile from a business-data vendor when the site doesn't list one. Charged only on a hit, visible only to the workspace that paid.

Your own data

CSV and Clay imports, notes, statuses, lists, and everything your team learns stays in your workspace.

Freshness

Weekly from the state. On demand for the rest.

Licence and coverage records refresh every week; the feed's renewal and lapse signals are recomputed on each run. Company intelligence refreshes per section on its own clock: website read every 90 days, reviews every 30, recent mentions every 14, with history kept so you can see what changed.

Every county, one page each.

Public market pages for each county and trade, with live counts you can check before you sign up.

  • Contractors are licensed people and businesses; we show what the state publishes about them, nothing scraped from private sources.
  • Owner contacts come from the company's own site or a vendor that sources business records; personal consumer data is never used.
  • Suppression lists and do-not-contact flags are honoured by the agent, and every email carries an unsubscribe link.

Look up your county before you decide.

The market pages are public. The full profiles are one free sign-in away.
