Construction across the Norfolk metro
Inclusive and diverse-owned construction businesses across the Norfolk metro, not just the city itself.
Norfolk builds on flat coastal ground with a high water table, so drainage, flood elevation and stormwater are ordinary parts of a job here rather than exceptions. General contractors and the specialty trades work across the seven cities, and permits run through each city separately rather than one county office. Ask for a license number and confirm it before signing.

How many contractors and builders are listed across the Norfolk metro?
Six right now, in Norfolk. The list grows as businesses are recommended, checked and added.
What makes a business inclusive on Inclusivity.org?
Every listing shows why it is here, with a source you can check: the owner's own statement, a public listing such as a chamber directory, or a recognized certification. Some are owned by the communities they serve and some are allies who welcome everyone. We never list someone's identity without a source.
How do I check a contractor's license?
Your state or city licensing board has a public lookup. Check that the license matches the kind of work, and ask for a certificate of insurance before anyone starts.
How many bids should I get?
Two or three written bids is a good rule. Compare what each includes, who pulls the permits and how payments are scheduled, not just the total.
Is it free to be listed?
Yes. A basic listing is free, and owners can claim and update theirs at any time. Featured and Enhanced listings get more room on the page, and being listed never depends on them.
How do I suggest a contractor that is missing?
Use Recommend a business at the bottom of this page. We research every suggestion, and nothing goes live until it has been checked.
Know a contractor we're missing?
Tell us who they are and we'll do the research. Nothing goes live until we've checked it, and we never list someone's identity without a source.
