Questions
What's in a lead?
The full address, the date the city issued the permit, the type of work, the permit number, and the project value from the city permit where the city lists one. There's a link to the city's permit data on every lead. Plus a short note on why it's worth a look. No owner name or phone number: the cities don't publish those.
Which trades do you cover?
HVAC and plumbing. Both get the same leads for the same $45 a month: a new basement unit needs ducts, venting and heat, and a new kitchen and bathroom. Each lead says which trades it fits. Electrical and other trades are coming soon. Pick your trade on the sign-up form and we'll tell you when yours opens.
How do I double-check a lead?
Brampton: Brampton open data. Mississauga: Mississauga open data. Every lead shows its permit number and permit date, so you can look it up. Spot a bad lead? Reply and tell us.
What happens when the trial ends?
You get 2 reminders before your trial ends: one 4 days before (day 10) and one the day before (day 13). The second one has a "Keep my leads" button. Pay $45 CAD a month by card through Stripe (renews by itself), or send $45 by Interac e-Transfer (one month at a time), and your Wednesday emails keep coming. Do nothing and the emails just stop. No charge, because there is no card on file.
Why are the Mississauga leads older?
Mississauga updates its permit data about once a month, so it runs about 4 weeks behind. This week the newest Mississauga permit is from September 29, 2026 (28 days before this week's Monday data pull). Every Mississauga lead shows its real permit date, so you always know how old it is. Brampton's data is current: this week's Brampton leads were issued Oct 21–Oct 27.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. Reply "cancel" to any of our emails, or email us, or use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of every email. No contract. During the free trial you pay nothing either way. If you've paid, your plan ends at the end of the month you've paid for.
