- Chicago contractors seeking trade-specific public-record leads
- Worth noticing
- The page says leads are intended for direct mail, not automated calls or texts, and cites Cook County Assessor data for owner mailing addresses.
Field notes
The described Rootstone workflow joins Chicago building violations, permits, and inspections with Cook County Assessor owner mailing addresses, then groups properties by address and trade. AlderWorks says each fact is accompanied by its source and data date, and that it uses records rather than copying government documents. A separate planned product would track open public bids, contract renewals, and past winning prices.
