Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling Austin, TX

The Challenge: Vance Design was spending $4,500/mo on shared lead brokers where 5 other contractors were calling homeowners within seconds, driving profit margins into the dirt.

The BuildBridge Solution: Locked down 4 high-income zip codes in North Austin with BuildBridge Leads. Shifted to exclusive kitchen & bath leads with pre-screened $30k+ budgets.

Monthly Before $42,000 / mo
Monthly After $185,000 / mo
Close Rate 32% (1 in 3 leads)
Return on Spend 11.4x Return on Ad Spend
"BuildBridge transformed our business. Homeowners actually expect our call because they were not blasted by 6 other guys. We booked $1.4M in kitchens in our first 9 months."
