Classification scopeWe measured Residential Alteration in Detroit on 2026-06-24: 99 of 100 sampled permits were correctly classified (99.3%). At that sample size the 95% confidence interval is 94.6%–99.8%, which spans our ≥99% certification bar — so this cohort is not certified, and not shown to have failed. It is measured and indeterminate. The permits are shown; the classification is the part we stand behind hardest, and this is what we currently know about it.

Why this list is real

These contractors are ranked from classified permits, not keyword scrapes. We read each permit’s work-type, scope, and occupancy fields to place it in Residential Alteration — so a filing that looks like a generic alteration lands in the right segment, and the ranking reflects real work. When the fields don’t support a confident call we mark it Unclassified — we never force a wrong segment to pad a contractor’s count.

How is the residential alteration data in Detroit refreshed?
PermitCore rebuilds the Detroit index nightly. The underlying municipal source publishes on its own cadence, which varies by jurisdiction, so each page stamps its own freshness (the "as of" date) rather than promising a fixed interval — and a stale source is marked as such.
