How Morningline works

  1. Overnight, we read the permits. Every new Santa Monica building permit, the day the city publishes it.
  2. We pick the jobs that fit your trade and research who's behind each one: the builder, the owner, the company that just bought the house.
  3. By morning, it's in your inbox: a short call list with phone numbers, so you call first.
