I never received service of process and the court clerk gave me the history of the file in the small claims system. She told me any lawyer would be able to look at the history of the file and would know how to vacate it, but she couldn't give me further legal advice as an employee of the court.

She mentioned 3 years in our conversation but couldn't say more as it would be legal advice.

I think I'll just spend a few hundred dollars on a lawyer to get it resolved.

The judgment is not expired. You'll need to file a petition to have it vacated, or better yet, track down the contractor and offer him a settlement. Vacating the judgment will cost you some money, and if you don't settle ( and get a good release) he can likely sue you fro breach of contract. Your claims against him for shitty work may be time barred, but I'm far from certain. Good luck.
