  The local pros LocalHelpNow lists for one trade in one town, in the order the directory page shows them (Google rating weighted by review count).

  Parameters:

  • trade (required) — string — hvac, plumbing, electrical, roofing, restoration or general. Plain words work too (AC, furnace, plumber, electrician, roofer, water damage, handyman).
  • town (required) — string — Town or city, e.g. Phoenix or Phoenix, AZ
