Lead strategy for contractors and remodelers

Remodeling projects are expensive, personal and slow to decide. The right lead strategy filters out poor fits early, so your estimating time goes to projects you can actually win and build well.

Where contractors and remodelers find leads

Project-type pages: Kitchens, bathrooms, additions and whole-home remodels each get their own page with past work.
Past clients and neighbors: Finished projects are your best showroom.
Designers and architects: They bring planned projects with real budgets.
Realtors: Buyers who just purchased often want updates.
Project photo posts: Before, during and after posts show your process.

Questions to qualify a lead

What project are you planning, and why now?
Do you have a budget range in mind?
When would you like to start and finish?
Do you have plans or a designer already?
Who else is part of the decision?

A follow-up cadence that fits

Within a day: Reply and schedule a consultation for good-fit projects.
After the consultation: Send a written proposal with scope, allowances and timeline.
Day 5 and day 14: Follow up, offering to walk through the proposal.
During the project: Regular updates keep clients happy and referring.
After completion: Ask for a review and photos permission.

Compliance notes

Licensing, permits, written contract requirements, cancellation rights for home solicitation sales, and lien notice rules vary by state. Use written contracts and display license numbers where required.

Get written consent before marketing texts, and get permission before posting photos of a client’s home. This is general information, not legal advice.
