Contractor marketing for builders and remodelers.

A contractor marketing agency that follows up until the job is signed.

The problem

Big jobs take months to win. Most marketing gives up in a week.

Nobody books a kitchen remodel, an addition or a custom home on impulse. They save for it. They collect ideas for months. They talk to a few builders, ask for a price, and then take their time. A good lead today might sign next spring.

That is where contractor marketing usually breaks. It is built for quick jobs: get a name, make a call, move on. So the serious buyers drift off to whoever kept in touch, and your week fills up with site visits for people who were never going to spend the money.

The common leaks look like this:

  • Your best work lives on your phone, not on your website.
  • Every enquiry gets a site visit, including the ones with no budget.
  • Estimates go out and nobody follows up after the first week.
  • Lead sites send you the same homeowner they sent to other builders.
  • Past clients who loved your work are never asked for a referral or a review.
  • Nobody knows which channel brought in the jobs that actually paid.

More leads will not fix that, and neither will working longer days. You are already on site all day. What fixes it is a system that does the patient part for you. It shows your work, asks the right questions before a site visit, and keeps in touch for as long as the buyer needs. That is the work we do as your contractor marketing agency, for one flat fee each month.

What you get

What we run for your build company.

A website that works like a portfolio

Project pages with your photos, the scope, the timeline and what the client said. Pages for each kind of work you want more of, like kitchens, baths, additions or new builds. You supply the photos. We turn them into pages that help buyers decide.

Learn more

Ads for the projects you want

Google Ads for the job types and areas you want more of. Meta ads that show your finished work to homeowners nearby. We write the ads, build the landing pages and tune them every week. You pay Google or Meta directly.

Learn more

Lead qualifying and follow-up

The CRM comes with the plan. Forms and quizzes ask about budget, timeline and scope before anyone books a site visit. Then estimate follow-up, check-ins and review requests run on their own.

Learn more

Stay in touch with past clients

Emails to past clients and to people still planning: recent projects, seasonal ideas and a simple ask for referrals. The people who hired you before are often the ones who send you the next job.

Learn more

Found for the work you do, where you do it

Your Google Business Profile, service pages, project pages by town and a steady flow of reviews. So you show up when someone nearby searches for a remodeler or builder, and when they ask an AI tool for a name.

Learn more

A chat that answers first questions

An AI chat on your site and by text. It answers questions about what you build, where you work and how to start, then books a call or a site visit. It does not answer phone calls.

Guide

Contractor marketing guide.

How it's done

How do construction companies market themselves?

Most construction companies win work through referrals, a website with strong project photos, a Google Business Profile with good reviews, and some paid ads. The ones that grow steadily also have a way to follow up with leads over months, not days.

That mix makes sense for big-ticket work. Buyers want proof before they let you knock down a wall. They want to see similar projects, read what past clients said, and know you will still be around next year.

Construction marketing, done well, builds that proof and puts it in front of the right people:

Search and Maps

for people already looking for a builder or remodeler in your area.

Ads

on Google for specific job types, and on Meta to show finished work to homeowners nearby.

Your website

as the place every other channel sends people to decide.

Email and follow-up

for the months between first contact and signing.

Referrals and reviews

from people you have already built for.

At Havstock we run all of it as one system, for one flat monthly fee. You send requests, and each one is done in about 48 hours.

Remodeling

Remodeling marketing: long sales cycles need long follow-up

A remodel can take months to go from first idea to signed contract. Remodeling marketing has to stay in touch for that whole time, without being pushy.

Many builders follow up once or twice after an estimate. Then they get busy on site and the lead goes cold. The homeowner does not forget the project. They sign with whoever was there when they were ready.

So we set up follow-up that runs on its own in your CRM:

  • A thank-you after the first call or site visit, with links to similar projects.
  • A check-in when the estimate goes out, and again a week later.
  • Useful emails over the following months: how your process works, what a typical timeline looks like, and a finished job like theirs.
  • A simple question every few weeks: still planning, on hold, or went another way?

Every lead sits in a pipeline stage, so you can see who is close to signing and who needs a call from you. And when a new enquiry rings while you are on a job, missed call text back replies for you within seconds. If you want a person to answer every call live, we compared the options in answering service for contractors. See how CRM and automations work in the plan.

Portfolio

Your portfolio does most of the selling

For a contractor, photos of finished work are the strongest sales tool you have. A homeowner who can see a kitchen like the one they want, built by you, has a real reason to call.

Many builders have great photos on their phones and a website with a few stock images. That gap costs work.

We turn your photos into project pages. Each one shows the before and after, the scope, the timeline, the town, and a few words from the client if they are happy to give them. Those pages help you show up for searches in that town, and they give your ads somewhere convincing to send people.

One thing to know: we do not shoot photos or video. You or your crew take them on site, or you hire a photographer for your best projects, and send them to us. A few clear shots of each stage are enough to build a strong page. Our websites and funnels page shows what else a site build includes.

Sorting leads

Contractor leads: sort serious buyers from tyre kickers

Not every contractor lead is worth a site visit. The fix is to ask a few questions before anyone gets in the truck.

A good enquiry form or short quiz asks:

  • What kind of project is it?
  • Roughly what budget do you have in mind?
  • When do you want to start?
  • Do you own the property?
  • Where is it?

The answers sort leads into lanes. Ready buyers can book a site visit or a call with you straight away. People who are still early get helpful emails until they are ready. People outside your area or budget get a polite reply, and you keep your week for real work.

It helps your ads too. When the CRM knows which leads became signed jobs, we can see which ads and pages bring those people in, and put more of the budget behind them.

Shared leads

Angi, HomeAdvisor and shared leads

Lead sites like Angi and HomeAdvisor can fill gaps in your schedule, but you are renting leads that are often sent to other pros too. When the spend stops, so do the leads. Our Angi leads review asks if they are worth it for contractors, and is Thumbtack worth it does the same for Thumbtack.

Plenty of owners keep them for slow months. Few want to depend on them. The way to lean on them less is to build lead flow you own: a site with your work, a strong Google profile, reviews and a list of past clients.

If you do use lead sites, treat them like any other channel. Track each lead to a signed job. Work out what each signed job cost you from that site. Then compare it with your own ads and referrals. Every lead in the CRM carries its source, so you can make that call with your own numbers.

Referrals

Past clients and referrals: general contractor marketing that lasts

For many general contractors, past clients are the best source of new work. They already trust you, and they know people who are planning projects.

Yet most builders lose touch after the final invoice. A few simple habits change that:

  • A review request at the end of every project, while the client is happy.
  • A check-in email a year after handover, asking how everything is holding up.
  • A short email a few times a year with recent projects.
  • A simple ask for referrals, and a thank-you when one comes in.

All of this runs from the same CRM, so it happens even in the weeks you are flat out on site. Here is how to build a review and reputation system.

Choosing an agency

How to choose a contractor marketing agency

Pick a contractor marketing agency that understands long sales cycles and can show you the whole path from first click to signed contract. Then check what you own, what you sign and what is included.

You will come across three kinds. A construction marketing agency that only works with builders. A home service marketing agency that covers all the trades. And general agencies that do one thing, like SEO or ads. Whichever you look at, ask:

  • Who owns the website, the ad accounts and the lead data?
  • Is there a setup fee or a long contract?
  • Who follows up with leads after they come in?
  • Will the report show signed jobs, or just clicks and calls?

How much should a construction company spend on marketing?

There is no one right number. Start with what a signed job is worth to you, how many more you can take on, and how long a buyer takes to decide. Then set a budget you can hold for at least six months, because big-ticket work takes time to show up as signed contracts.

With Havstock, our fee is $4,995 USD a month, flat. That covers ads, website, CRM, follow-up, SEO and AI chat. There is no setup fee and no contract. Ad spend is on top and goes straight to Google or Meta. We compared a hire, an agency and a subscription in in-house team vs agency vs subscription. Full details are on our pricing page.

When we are not the right fit

We do not film, shoot photos, edit video, print or post on social media for you. If you are booked a year out on referrals alone, you may not need us yet. Roofers can see our page for roofing companies. Book a 15-minute call and we will tell you honestly.

FAQ

Questions. Answered.

How much does a contractor marketing agency cost?

Ours is $4,995 USD a month, flat. That covers ads, your website, CRM, follow-up, SEO and AI chat. There is no setup fee. Ad spend is paid to Google or Meta directly. Usage fees for texts, emails and AI chat are also on you. They are small, and they go on a card you keep on file. See full pricing.

Is there a contract?

No. It is month to month, and you can cancel anytime. Try it for a week, and if you are not happy, get 75% back.

Do I own my website, ad accounts and data?

Yes. Your site, your ads and your data are yours. If you leave, they stay with you.

Do you take the project photos?

No. We do not do photo shoots. You or your crew take photos on site, or you use a photographer for your best jobs, and send them to us. We turn them into project pages, galleries and ads.

Can you help us stop wasting time on tyre kickers?

Yes. We build forms and short quizzes that ask about project type, budget, timeline and location before anyone books a site visit. Ready buyers book with you. Early ones get follow-up emails until they are ready.

Should we stop using Angi or HomeAdvisor?

Not straight away. Keep them if they pay for themselves. We track every lead to its source, so you can compare what a signed job costs from a lead site against your own site and ads, and decide with real numbers.

Do you work with remodelers and custom home builders?

Yes. General contractors, builders and remodelers all sell big jobs with long decisions. The system is the same: show your work, qualify leads and follow up until the contract is signed.

Do you only work with contractors?

No. We work with service businesses, coaches and training providers. The reviews on this page come from businesses in other fields. What carries over is the system, and on a call we can walk through how it would work for your company.

What don't you do?

Filming, photo shoots, video editing, print and organic social posting.
