Which Mesa home builders pass on the first try
A ranked shortlist of home builders and general contractors in Mesa.

Electricians, plumbers, and other trade specialists have their own first-try lists. The Mesa remodelers and general contractors page ranked by jobs is a different list. This is how often a city inspector signed off on the first visit. It is not a grade of workmanship.

Mix-adjusted city average uses the same kinds of Mesa inspections each contractor actually had. This is how often a city inspector signed off on the first visit. It is not a grade of workmanship.
How this ranking works
We show a rate only at 20+ first-try inspections. This list ranks at 50+. Pool contractor leaderboards rank at 25+ because pool jobs are big-ticket and lower-volume. A contractor is compared only with the same city and the same kinds of inspections. We never compare Mesa with Scottsdale, and we never mix a plumbing underground result into an electrical average. This list is home builders and general contractors only, by license class (B, B-1, B-2, KB-1, KB-2, and related builder classes). Trade specialists have their own lists. When two first-try rates match at one decimal, the contractor with more inspections ranks higher. A smaller-sample note appears next to anyone with fewer than twice this list's rank floor. We never treat a partial approval as a pass.
