How Morningline works
- Overnight, we read the permits. Every new St. Paul building permit, the day the city publishes it.
- 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.
- By morning, it's in your inbox: a short call list with phone numbers, so you call first.
