Commercial contractors by trade, for property and facility managers
Commercial contractors are trade contractors who work on business premises: roofing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, painting and the rest. Contractor Referral Partners introduces commercial property and facility managers to one established contractor for the trade they need, where it works with one in their metro. Tell us the trade and your metro. It costs you nothing.

What matters
What a commercial job asks of a contractor
A house can be empty for a week. Your building cannot. That is the difference between a good residential crew and a contractor fit for commercial property maintenance.
Work around an open building
After-hours work and phased work, so tenants and customers are not shut out.
Paperwork that passes
A certificate of insurance at the limits your lease or property owner requires, and bonding where the job calls for it, before anyone is on site.
Someone to call next year
Commercial building maintenance is a relationship. A service agreement or a preventive maintenance contract only works if the contractor still picks up.

Projects
Tenant improvement, renovation and maintenance work
Commercial trade work comes in four kinds, and they need different things from a contractor.
Tenant improvement contractors and build-outs
Tenant improvement contractors, office renovation contractors and retail build out contractors work to a lease date. Call them tenant build out contractors if your lease does. The date does not move.
We introduce the trades inside the job: electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, flooring and painting.
Commercial remodeling contractors for renovations
Commercial remodeling contractors and commercial renovation contractors update a building that stays in use. Phasing matters more than price.
Facility maintenance companies
Facility maintenance companies offer facility maintenance services across every trade, and common area maintenance is often theirs too. Commercial property maintenance companies do the same job under another name.
Facility maintenance contractors handle the routine. Many managers keep their own contractor for the trades that fail loudly: roofing, HVAC, plumbing and electrical.
Capital work
A roof replacement or a new rooftop unit is a capital expenditure, planned a budget cycle ahead. A manager who tracks each roof as a roof asset wants one contractor to inspect it, repair it and replace it.
A full build is a different call
Building something new? You need a commercial general contractor, and that is not us. We can still introduce a trade your general contractor is short of.
What you get
What a manager gets from an introduction
One contractor per trade, a number that is answered, and no bill from us.
One contractor, not a list
We introduce one established contractor for the trade you need. You are not handed five names to chase.
A line that gets answered
You get one number for that contractor. If they are on a job, an AI receptionist answers at any hour, takes the details and alerts them.
You hear what happened
You are told when your job is received and when it is scheduled, so you are not left guessing.
No cost to you
No fee, no contract and no obligation to send work. The contractor pays us, not you.
From your request to a bid
-
Tell us what you need
The trade, your metro and a line about the project. It takes a minute.
-
We introduce you on a call
If we work with a contractor for that trade in your metro, we set up the call. If we do not, we tell you. You speak to the contractor before any job is discussed.
-
They bid, and you decide
Contractors we work with are expected to answer within one business day and bid within three. The decision stays yours.
Questions commercial managers ask
-
What is a commercial contractor?
A commercial contractor is a contractor that works on business premises instead of homes: offices, shops, warehouses, apartment buildings and other commercial property. The term covers general contractors, who run a whole build, and trade contractors, such as commercial roofers, electricians and painters, who do one part of it. Contractor Referral Partners introduces businesses to trade contractors, not to general contractors.
-
How do you find commercial contractors?
Facility and property managers find commercial contractors through other managers, their general contractor, suppliers and local trade associations. A search for commercial contractors near me returns a map of names with no sign of who handles occupied buildings. Contractor Referral Partners takes a request by trade and metro and introduces a manager to one established contractor for that trade, on a call.
-
Do you provide tenant improvement contractors?
Contractor Referral Partners introduces the trades inside a tenant improvement: electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, flooring and painting. We do not introduce a general contractor to run the build-out. A business that needs tenant improvement contractors for a full fit-out should hire a commercial general contractor first, and can use us for a trade that contractor is short of.
-
What does it cost a business to use this?
Nothing. A commercial property or facility manager pays no fee to Contractor Referral Partners, signs no contract and has no obligation to send work. The contractor pays for the service through a setup fee and a monthly subscription. The business speaks to the contractor on a call before any job is discussed, and decides whether to ask for a bid.
