9 best lead generation companies for contractors in 2026
Ranked for kitchen and bath remodelers, with the prices each one actually publishes.
Lead generation for contractors comes in two shapes: a marketplace sells the same homeowner to three or four of you for $15 to $150 a lead, and a pay-per-appointment service books a qualified homeowner on your calendar for a fee, $150 in our case, on top of ads you own. Nine companies below, ranked on who qualifies the homeowner, who follows up, and who keeps the data.
You finished a $60,000 kitchen at 6pm, got home, and now you’re on the couch texting a lead from Tuesday who already hired somebody else. There are nine more of those in your phone. Four of them came from a marketplace that charged you the minute it sent them, and sent the same homeowner to three other guys.

$50 to $150+
per contact, shared (guide)
“I especially like that they focus not only on generating leads, but also on the follow-up and appointment-setting side, which makes a big difference.”
Before you read nine entries
Only three of the nine ask the homeowner a budget question before you pay. If you sell $30,000 kitchens and up, start with those three: numbers 1, 2 and 4.
How we ranked them
Seven questions, asked of every company.
Every lead company sells the same three things: ads, a form, and a list of names. The list is where you lose. So the ranking ignores how many homeowners a company has and asks what happens after the form. In the table, prices marked (guide) come from a contractor guide linked in that entry; everything else is from the company’s own page as of October 2026.
- 1
Exclusive or shared
Does the homeowner go to you alone, or to three, four or ten contractors at the same minute?
- 2
Lead or appointment
Are you paying for a name and a number, or for a homeowner who picked a time on your calendar?
- 3
Who qualifies the homeowner
Nobody, a web form, an SMS code, a phone call, or a person checking project, budget, timeline and address?
- 4
Who follows up
When the homeowner goes quiet, who texts them on day three and day ten? On most of this list, you.
- 5
Who owns the data
Can you keep the homeowner list, the ad account and the pixel if you leave?
- 6
What you actually pay for
A click, a lead, a call, a subscription, or an appointment that happened.
- 7

1. Smarter Contractor: kitchen and bath remodelers who want the whole process handled
$150
per qualified, booked appointment
100%
show-up on a scaled account, confirmed twice
1 in 4
appointments becomes a job, at minimum
Smarter Contractor runs the ads on your own account, replies to every lead in 30 seconds, qualifies the homeowner for project, budget, timeline and address, books them on your calendar and confirms them twice. A scaled account runs 60 to 80 appointments a month. Kitchen and bath remodelers only, one per market, and you fund 90 days of ads: about $150 to $250 per appointment on top of our $150, no setup fee. The full math is on the page comparing pay per lead with pay per appointment.
Where it falls down
Month one is not the month that prints: a fresh pixel costs more than an old one, and the account takes two or three months to settle. If you need the numbers an agency already on the account has hit, in two weeks, we’re the wrong call. And we don’t close the job for you. You still have to be good at kitchens.
| You pay for | a qualified, booked appointment |

| Exclusive | yes, one contractor per market |
| Who qualifies | a person, then confirmed twice |
| Who follows up | we do, until they book or say no, with Natasha as the safety net |
| Who owns the data | you: the ad account, the pixel and the homeowner list |
Best for
- You sell kitchens and baths and your market is still open
- You can fund 90 days of ads from money you already have
- You want to own the ad account, the pixel and the homeowner list
Walk away if
- You want cheap shared leads to race for this week
- You need parity with an incumbent agency in two weeks
- You want an agency to fund your ads for a cut of revenue
The case study · King Remodeling, San Diego
“We were spending with Thumbtack, Yelp and a couple of marketing agencies, and our months were all over the place. Instead of a pile of leads, his system puts qualified homeowners on our calendar, already confirmed, so our reps show up and sell.”
Ilan, the owner, in his Google review, October 2026.
From about $80K a month to a $1.2M month: read the case study →2. Houzz Pro: design-led remodelers with a deep photo portfolio
flat
subscription; leads aren't sold one at a time
$99 to $399
a month for the software, ads from $499 (Houzz)
12 months
the contract length contractors complain about
Houzz Pro sells lead generation as a flat-rate subscription instead of pay per lead. Homeowners come to look at kitchens and message you after naming a project type, a budget range and an area, the best-qualified start on this list. Houzz’s own pricing puts the software at $99, $199 or from $399 a month, with advertising from $499 a month, and contractors in Hook Agency’s roundup report $250 to $700 a month.
Where it falls down
The contract. Hook Agency’s roundup collects contractors on 12-month deals that renewed by themselves and could only be cancelled in writing 30 days before renewal; one wrote, “There was not a single qualified lead sent our way.” Houzz doesn’t promise exclusivity, nobody follows up for you, and a 9pm message is cold by the time you call in the morning.
| You pay for | a software subscription |
|---|---|
| Price | $99 to $399 a month for the software; ads from $499 a month |
| Exclusive | no |
| Who qualifies | the homeowner's project request |
| Who follows up | you, inside the Houzz Pro CRM |
| Who owns the data | the profile and reviews live on Houzz; no export statement published |
Best for
- Your photos sell the job before you walk in
- You want the estimating and CRM software anyway
- You're in a big metro where homeowners browse Houzz
Walk away if
- You're signing a 12-month ad contract to find out if it works
- You need someone to answer the message in minutes
- You're a price-led shop without a portfolio
3. Google Local Services Ads: a shop that answers the phone in seconds
per lead
a call over 20 seconds, a message, or a booking request
$49 to $112
per call lead, 15-market benchmark (guide)
30 days
for Google's models to credit a bad lead, on their own
Google Local Services Ads put a verified badge above the paid results, and you pay per lead, not per click. Per Google’s own help page, a lead is a call over 20 seconds, a message or a booking request; Google verifies the business, not the homeowner. The 2026 benchmark from Kitchen Remodeling SEO puts call leads at $49 to $112 and message leads at $25 to $67, a guide’s estimate.
Where it falls down
Nobody qualifies the caller, so a price shopper and a $60,000 kitchen cost the same. And Google removed manual disputes in 2024: bad leads “get reassessed by our models over time,” with credits inside 30 days if they come at all. One consultant documented a $400 charge for a call from an existing client that Google confirmed in writing and still didn’t refund.
| You pay for | a call or message |
|---|---|
| Price | no published price; $49 to $112 a call (guide) |
| Exclusive | the homeowner picks who to call |
| Who qualifies | nobody; Google verifies the business |
| Who follows up | you, from the leads inbox |
| Who owns the data | you own the account; leads sit in Google's inbox, no one-click export |
Best for
- Your licence, insurance and reviews are in order
- Someone picks up every call inside three rings
- You want high-intent calls at a capped weekly spend
Walk away if
- Calls go to voicemail between jobs
- You need a dispute process you can argue with
- You want someone else to qualify before you quote

4. Fixr: exclusive leads without running your own ads
about $150
exclusive kitchen lead, Fixr's own page
$100 to $240
bath lead, exclusive or shared
8%
the close rate Fixr itself quotes
Fixr runs its own ads, SMS-verifies each homeowner’s phone, and sells the lead as Exclusive, Duo or Trio. The only marketplace here that prints prices: the kitchen leads page says exclusive leads “generally start around $150,” the bath page $150 to $180 exclusive and $80 to $120 shared, no contract. Fixr’s own example, a $120 Duo lead at an 8% close, is roughly $1,500 per signed job.
Where it falls down
An SMS code proves the phone is real, not that the budget is, and the follow-up is still yours. The bath page says shared leads go to “2 to 3 contractors” in one section and “3 to 5” in another, and there’s no published credit policy. On Trustpilot one contractor wrote “not 1 good leads out of almost 20,” and another was billed after a paused campaign woke up on its own.
| You pay for | a lead, exclusive or shared |
|---|---|
| Price | exclusive kitchen from about $150 |
| Exclusive | the homeowner picks 1, 2 or 3 quotes |
| Who qualifies | an SMS code and a QA team |
| Who follows up | you; Fixr says reach out within minutes |
| Who owns the data | you keep the contacts and can push them to your CRM |
Best for
- You want an exclusive lead without building the ad machine
- You call back within minutes and can live with a stated 8% close
- You want prices you can read before the sales call
Walk away if
- You have nobody to chase the lead on day three
- You expect a budget check, not a phone check
- You can't watch the dashboard for a campaign that restarts
5. Angi Leads (HomeAdvisor): volume, with a phone team that calls in minutes
per lead
charged the moment it's sent, job or no job
up to 4
pros on one request, Angi's own help page
$7.2M
the 2023 FTC order over how lead quality was sold
Angi Leads, the HomeAdvisor product, charges for every lead the moment it’s sent, shared with up to four pros, on top of a yearly membership; since January 2025 the homeowner picks which pros may contact them, per Angi’s 2025 filings. Its help page is plain: “Leads are not guaranteed jobs.” No rate card: guides put the membership near $300 a year and leads at $15 to $100 each.
Where it falls down
Paying for shared leads that never answer. Two contractors on Trustpilot in August 2026: “roughly 90-95% of the leads were essentially ghost leads” and “approximately 90% of them did not answer our calls.” The credit policy covers a fake number or a wrong area, never a lead that ghosts, and only if you called within 24 hours. The FTC ordered $7.2 million in 2023 over how HomeAdvisor described its lead quality.
| You pay for | a lead, charged when sent |
|---|---|
| Price | no published price; $15 to $100 (guides) plus a yearly fee |
| Exclusive | no, up to four pros |
| Who qualifies | the homeowner's online request |
| Who follows up | you, within 24 hours or no credit |
| Who owns the data | you keep what you paid for; three other pros may hold the same homeowner |
Best for
- Someone's only job is calling leads inside five minutes
- You sell smaller baths and mid-size jobs where volume beats quality
- You'll dispute every bad lead the same day
Walk away if
- You're the one calling leads from the truck
- Your minimum job is $30,000 and you can't afford a race
- You want to know the price before the membership
6. Thumbtack: a small shop testing paid leads with no contract
per contact
charged when the homeowner messages you
up to $150
for a kitchen contact (guide estimate)
0
sign-up fee, no contract, weekly budget cap
Thumbtack charges you when a homeowner contacts you, no sign-up fee, no contract: you cap the price per lead, set a weekly budget, and get matched or reply to open requests, per the Housecall Pro guide. Prices come from the auction and show only inside your account; Superdupr’s guide puts a kitchen contact at “$150 or more,” and in Thumbtack’s forum one lead went to three pros and cost $83.25.
Where it falls down
The price doesn’t know the job. One pro on the forum: “There is no excuse for charging $60 for a lead that has budgeted and/or estimated $200.” Refunds come only for specific reasons, land as account credit, and the old rule that refunded an unopened lead after 48 hours was dropped. A homeowner who ticked “just exploring” still costs you the contact.
| You pay for | a contact |
|---|---|
| Price | no published price; up to $150 a kitchen contact (guide) |
| Exclusive | no, two or three pros |
| Who qualifies | the homeowner's request |
| Who follows up | you, in Thumbtack's messenger |
| Who owns the data | the profile and the thread live on Thumbtack; no export statement |
Best for
- You're small, you want no contract, and you'll cap the weekly spend
- You reply inside minutes, every time, from your phone
- Your jobs are baths and smaller remodels where a $60 contact can pay off
Walk away if
- One $150 contact has to carry a $50,000 kitchen
- You want to argue a dead lead and win
- You're not the one holding the phone
7. Modernize: a sales team that can absorb four-way shared leads
up to 4
contractors per shared lead
ceiling
you set the max you'll pay; the price is dynamic
none
published credit policy for bad leads
Modernize sells homeowner requests to up to four contractors at a dynamic price: you set a ceiling and pay per lead. Per its pro page, Modernize confirms the details, sends the lead, and you close; Live Transfers adds an agent who checks the homeowner and bridges the call. Guide figures, not Modernize’s own: Leadgen Economy puts shared kitchen leads at $25 to $60, exclusive at $75 to $200.
Where it falls down
The homeowner is in up to four contractors’ hands at once, and the follow-up is yours. Best Company’s summary of contractor reviews names “fake phone numbers or leads that had been sold to multiple companies at the same time,” and a verified reviewer wrote: “Over the course of 1 month we received 1 confirmed lead (of 70) and Modernize refused to refund or credit any of the other.” Contractors also report waits of up to 10 days on cancellation while charges continue.
| You pay for | a lead, or a live transfer |
|---|---|
| Price | no published price; you set a ceiling |
| Exclusive | no, up to four contractors |
| Who qualifies | a details check; a call on live transfers |
| Who follows up | you; an agent bridges the call on live transfers only |
| Who owns the data | you keep the contacts; up to three others hold the same homeowner |
Best for
- You run reps who can dial a four-way lead inside two minutes
- You want the live-transfer version, where a person checks the homeowner first
- You're big enough that a revenue-based program makes sense
Walk away if
- You want a price before a sales call
- You can't eat 69 bad leads to find one
- You'd rather a lead you don't share
8. Networx: the cheapest test of pay per lead
$10 to $100+
per shared lead, Networx's own help page
$15 to $120+
per exclusive lead, phone-verified in business hours
14 days
to report a bad lead; "all decisions are final"
Networx sells prepaid lead credits, deducted per lead. The shared plan sends one lead “to up to 4 contractors in total”; the exclusive plan sends it to you alone, with a phone call and a transfer attempted in business hours. Prices are on Networx’s own help page, with no kitchen or bath figure printed; no setup fee, no contract, and when the credits run out the account renews by itself.
Where it falls down
The cheapest lead on this list is cheap for a reason. One contractor on Trustpilot in August 2026: “We have provided nearly 4500 dollars and have 0 / 72 in regards to even scheduling appointments.” The credit policy covers a fake number, a wrong area or a renter, and excludes a homeowner who never picks up or is “only shopping.” You have 14 days, and all decisions are final.
| You pay for | a prepaid lead credit |
|---|---|
| Price | $10 to $100+ shared, $15 to $120+ exclusive |
| Exclusive | shared up to four, or an exclusive plan |
| Who qualifies | the form; a phone check on exclusive |
| Who follows up | you: "it is your responsibility to follow up" |
| Who owns the data | the dashboard and app hold the leads; no export documented |
Best for
- You want to test pay per lead for a few hundred dollars, no contract
- You'll take the exclusive plan and answer the transferred call live
- You'll report every bad lead inside the 14 days
Walk away if
- A $40 shared lead has to find you a $50,000 kitchen
- You won't watch the auto-renewing balance
- You need a lead that ghosts to be credited
9. Yelp Ads: a dense metro and a strong Yelp page
per click
auction-priced, on a monthly maximum you set
$5 a day
the self-serve floor on Yelp's own page
up to 10
businesses one quote request can reach (guide)
Yelp Ads are pay per click on Sponsored Results and on competitors’ pages. Yelp’s product page says you can “spend as little as $5/day” with “no term contracts” self-serve; the homeowner clicks, calls or messages, and nobody qualifies anyone. Pipelineon’s guide puts home-services clicks at $7 to $25, $40-plus in competitive metros, and the rep’s pitch at a 12-month contract of $350 to $1,200 a month, guide figures.
Where it falls down
The sales calls and the contract. Self-serve has no term, but rep-sold programs carry 3, 6 or 12-month terms with early-termination fees; a painter recalls a $7,000-a-year quote for the basic package, and a contractor on Alignable called it “the worst advertising site we have ever worked with.” Add the review filter that hides real reviews, and it’s a channel, not a lead source.
| You pay for | a click |
|---|---|
| Price | no published rate; from about $5 a day |
| Exclusive | no, a quote request can reach ten |
| Who qualifies | nobody |
| Who follows up | you, in the Yelp inbox |
| Who owns the data | you own the page and the ad account; the thread lives in Yelp |
Best for
- You already have a 4.8-star Yelp page in a city where people search Yelp for remodelers
- You run it self-serve at a small daily cap
- Someone answers the Yelp inbox the same hour
Walk away if
- A rep is on the phone offering a 12-month package
- You're counting clicks as leads
- You're outside the big metros where Yelp still matters
“He focuses on actually getting qualified appointments on the calendar rather than just sending us a bunch of leads. There's no overpromising or BS. Everything he promised us, he's delivered on.”
Which one should you pick
Pick by who answers the phone, not by the price per lead.
Every company above works for somebody. The cheap shared lead is a bargain for a shop with three reps dialing, and a donation for a shop where the owner calls back after dinner. Find your row.
One more thing the table can’t say. The marketplaces run the same Meta and Google ads you could run, mark the lead up, and resell it. On your own account the lead is $35 to $100, depending on how much the form asks, and it’s yours, and the pixel learns which homeowners book. That’s the whole argument of our marketing for remodelers page, and it’s why the first thing we do on any account is move the ads under your name.
Whatever you pick, define the word “qualified” in writing before you pay. Project, budget against your minimum, timeline, the homeowner at the address. If the company can’t tell you which of those it checks, it checks none of them.
No call center, you answer leads yourself between jobs
Smarter Contractor, or Fixr exclusive with a text-back tool
A shared lead you call back at 7pm is already hired. Pay for the booked appointment, or at least for the exclusive one.

Straight answers
The questions contractors ask about lead generation companies.
What is a lead generation service for contractors?
A company that finds homeowners who want work done and sells you the contact, the call, or the booked appointment. Marketplaces like Angi, Thumbtack and Networx sell the same homeowner to several contractors. A service like ours sells one contractor per market a qualified homeowner already booked on their calendar.
What are exclusive contractor leads?
Leads that go to one contractor only, instead of three to ten at the same minute. On this list, Fixr's Exclusive tier and Networx's exclusive plan sell them per lead, and Smarter Contractor works with one contractor per market, so every appointment is exclusive by design.
“I've worked with several other agencies in the past and constantly felt like I was being promised the world, only to end up disappointed. Since working together, I've been able to almost triple my appointment count every month.”
Which lead generation company is best for contractors?
It depends on who answers the phone. With nobody calling leads in minutes, pay for booked appointments (Smarter Contractor) or exclusive leads (Fixr). With a phone team, Google Local Services Ads first, then Angi Leads for volume. For a design-led kitchen and bath shop, Houzz Pro qualifies the homeowner best of the marketplaces.
How do I find lead generation companies near me?
Every company on this list sells nationwide, so the question is who covers your trade and your metro, not who is local. Google Local Services Ads and Yelp Ads only work where homeowners search those places, which is the big metros. Smarter Contractor takes one kitchen and bath remodeler per market, so ask whether yours is still open.
What should a contractor lead cost?
A shared remodeling lead runs $15 to $100 on the marketplaces (guide estimates; none publish a rate card), an exclusive kitchen lead about $150 on Fixr's own page, and a Meta lead on your own account $35 to $55 on a short form or $80 to $100 when the form qualifies harder, on our accounts. The number that matters is cost per signed job: often $1,500 or more at the marketplaces' own close rates, against $600 to $1,000 on pay per appointment.
“As he tested new ads and perfected our market, we watched our price per lead drop significantly week by week. Now we have a trusted system in place that keeps clients calling.”
Pay per lead vs pay per appointment: which is better for a remodeler?
Pay per lead hands you a phone number and all the work; when the lead ghosts, the company still gets paid. Pay per appointment charges you when a homeowner picks a time on your calendar, so the company owns the reply, the qualifying and the confirmation. Without a call center, it's the only model where the risk sits with the vendor.
Do lead generation companies qualify the homeowner?
Mostly no. Angi, Thumbtack, Yelp and Google Local Services Ads pass on whatever the homeowner typed. Fixr verifies the phone with an SMS code, Networx phone-checks exclusive leads, and Modernize's live transfers put an agent on the call. Only Houzz asks for a budget range up front, and only a pay-per-appointment service checks budget against your minimum before you drive.
Can I get my money back for a bad lead?
Sometimes, for a narrow list of reasons. Angi, Networx and Thumbtack credit a fake number, a wrong area or a wrong service, never a homeowner who doesn't answer or hired someone else. Google now credits automatically within 30 days with no manual dispute. Fixr and Modernize publish no credit policy.
