For remodelers and contractors
Be the contractor your town already trusts.
A remodel means letting someone into your home for weeks, so people want a contractor they already trust. Every week you bring your town its news, and they come to know you. We build the website, the newsletter and the social accounts, and send you the stories and the exact words to say.

What most remodelers and contractors do
Most contractors are one bid in a pile of five.
Before and after photos, a sign in the yard during the job, leads from a site that sends the same homeowner to every contractor in the county. Every one of them looks the same, so the homeowner compares on price.
People don't hire a remodeler off a photo. They hire the person they trust to show up, finish the job and leave the house clean. Show up every week with the news from your own town, and by the time they're ready to start, you're not a bid. You're the person they already wanted.
Everyone else posts before and afters. You bring your town its news.
The stories
Stories only a contractor tells this well.
Most weeks you tell the town's news. Some weeks the news is about building, and nobody explains it better.
The old bank on Main Street is being restored.
What's going in, how long the work will take, and what the crew is saving from the original building.
The village board approved coach houses.
What the new rule allows, which lots it applies to, and the first steps if you've thought about building one.
Building permits move online next month.
How the new process works, what you'll need to upload, and how long the village says a review should take.
One kitchen pays for months.
A kitchen, a basement or an addition can be tens of thousands of dollars and months of living with you in the house. Homeowners take their time choosing, and when they choose, they want someone they already feel good about.
Be that contractor. A homeowner who has watched you explain the coach house rules and the old bank restoration already knows how you talk and how you think. The first meeting feels like the tenth.
Marketing that works
Most marketing buys attention. We build trust.
We've made more than 20,000 local videos, and the ones that bring in customers all do the same few things. Here's the difference.
| What most remodelers and contractors do | What we do with you |
|---|---|
| Buys attention. Ads, mailers and paid leads. It all stops the day you stop paying. | Builds trust. Your face and your town's news, every week. It adds up, and it stays with you. |
| Talks about you. Specials, before-and-afters, "call me today." People have seen it a hundred times and scroll past. | Talks about them. What's happening in their town. People watch, and they remember who told them. |
| Chases views. Trends and sounds that strangers three states away watch. Views aren't customers. | Reaches neighbors. The people in your town, the only ones who can actually hire you. |
| Buries the point. A slow intro and a logo. The scroll wins in two seconds. | Answers first. One real question per video, answered in the first sentence. That's what makes a stranger trust you. |
| Shows up when it can. Twenty ideas posted once, then nothing for a month. | Shows up every week. The same rhythm, week after week, until your town expects you. |
| Disappears. A post is gone in two days, and AI can't watch a video. | Keeps working. What you say lands on your town's website, where search engines and AI can read it for years. |

I'm running jobs and bidding at night. When would I record?
Once a week, in one sitting. We send the stories with the exact words already written, so you can record a week of videos at once, even at a job site before the crew shows up.
Do the videos show my projects?
Mostly no. Most weeks you tell your town its news: what's opening, what's closing, what the village board decided. When the news is about building, like a restoration or a permit change, you're the one who explains it.
My projects take months to sell. Is this worth it?
That's exactly why it fits. People think about a remodel for a long time before they call anyone. If they hear from you every week while they think, you're the first name they think of when they're ready.
I do more than one kind of work. Does that matter?
No. You don't pitch any of it in the videos. The town comes to know you as the person who brings them the news, and when they need what you do, they ask.
Can another contractor in my town do this too?
No. Each town has one host. Once it's you, we don't build the same thing for anyone else in your town.
Who owns the website and the accounts?
We do. We build, host and run them, which is why there's no build fee. You're the face and the voice of the brand. If you ever leave, the videos you made stay up and a new host can step in, so your town keeps its news.
What does it cost?
$999 a month, month to month. That includes the website, the newsletter, the social accounts, every week's stories and scripts, Unbusied for posting, and a video chat with us every month.
One last thing
Nobody in your town has claimed this yet.
Your town will know you before they need you. Each town gets one host, so it might as well be you.
