Renovation & general contractors
Marketing & Websites for Calgary Renovation Companies and General Contractors
Renovation clients take their time. They browse portfolios, compare contractors and read every detail before they ask for a quote. We help Calgary renovators and general contractors look professional, explain their process clearly, and turn serious enquiries into booked consultations.

The challenge
Why renovation leads are hard to win, and easy to lose
Long decisions, many tire-kickers
A basement or kitchen project can take months to decide. You spend hours on site visits and estimates for people who were “just getting ideas.”
Your portfolio is your sales pitch, but it’s buried
Great work sits on a phone camera roll or in an old gallery with no context. Prospects want to see projects like theirs, with scope, finishes and timeline explained.
Trust is the deciding factor
Homeowners worry about deposits, delays and contractors who disappear. They look for licensing, insurance, warranty terms, a written contract and a clear process before they call.
Leads go cold while you’re on site
A form submitted on Monday that gets a reply on Friday is often a lost job.
Commercial and residential buyers want different things
A general contractor bidding on tenant improvements needs a very different page from one doing home additions, and one generic site rarely speaks to both.

What we do for Calgary renovation companies and general contractors
Launch: a portfolio-led website
- Project pages that read like mini stories: the brief, the scope, materials, timeline and photos. These are your projects, published with the homeowner’s permission.
- Separate service pages: basement development, kitchen and bathroom renovations, additions, whole-home renovations, and commercial or tenant improvements if you do them.
- A “How we work” page covering consultation, design, written contract, permits, schedule and payment stages, so prospects understand your process before they call.
- A trust block showing your business licence, prepaid contracting licence where applicable, WCB, insurance and warranty terms.
Grow: local SEO and Google Ads for project searches
- Pages built around the projects people plan, such as basement development, kitchen renovation and home additions, and the communities you work in.
- Planning guides homeowners search for, like how long a basement takes or what permits a renovation needs in Calgary, written so they’re helpful, not salesy.
- Google Ads managed in-house by our own team, organized by project type, so your budget goes to the jobs you want more of and away from searches that rarely become projects.
- Google Business Profile posts with new project photos.
Automate: qualify and follow up
- A project enquiry form that asks the questions you’d ask on the phone: type, rough budget range, timeline and address. That way you can prioritize serious leads.
- Instant acknowledgement by email, SMS or WhatsApp, plus a booking link for a consultation call.
- Follow-up sequences for estimates that haven’t been answered, with opt-out included, tracked in a simple CRM.
- An AI phone answering agent and website chatbot that answer common process questions, take messages and book consultations while you’re on site.
Scale: tools for estimating and clients
- An estimating or proposal app with templates, photos and options.
- A client portal for selections, change orders, schedule updates and documents.
Launch starts with our 5-day website: your core site live in 5 business days once the scope is approved and we have your questionnaire, logo, photos and domain access. Written scope and free quote first, copy help included, 2 revision rounds, and 30 days of free fixes after launch. You own everything once it’s paid for.

Can you help us get fewer tire-kickers?
Yes, mainly through clearer content and a smarter enquiry form. When your process, typical timelines and the information you need are explained up front, enquiries tend to be better prepared. We don’t promise a specific lead quality.
We don’t have professional photos. Is that a problem?
No. Clear, well-lit phone photos work well when they’re organized into proper project pages. We’ll give you a simple shot list for future jobs.
Should residential and commercial work be on the same site?
Usually yes, with clearly separated sections and pages, so each audience finds what’s relevant. We’ll recommend a structure during discovery.
Do you manage Google Ads for renovation projects?
Yes. Our own team runs them in-house. We split campaigns by project type, such as basements, kitchens or additions, so you can put budget behind the work you want and pause the rest when your schedule is full.
Do you show our licences on the site?
We recommend showing the licences, insurance and warranty details you actually hold, factually and up to date. We never add claims you can’t back up.
Can we publish client projects?
Yes, with the homeowner’s permission. Leave out personal details, such as exact addresses, unless they agree in writing.
How do we work together?
Calgary clients can meet our local representative in person. Our founder works with clients by phone or video. We reply within 1 hour during business hours.
