The "Lead Drought" Problem
Seasonal project pipelines dry up during off-peak months like winter, leaving roofing and siding crews idle for 3-4 months annually and straining cash flow with overhead costs exceeding $50K per idle month
Generic lead lists from online marketplaces like Angi or HomeAdvisor flood inboxes with homeowners 50+ miles outside your service radius, wasting 10-15 hours weekly on bid preparations for unqualified deck or bathroom remodel inquiries
Missed follow-ups on urgent repair inquiries, such as burst pipe or storm-damaged roof calls, due to scattered notes in field apps and no centralized CRM, resulting in lost emergency jobs worth $5K-$20K to 24/7 competitors
Overreliance on word-of-mouth referrals limits growth to 5-10% annually, as expanding to new neighborhoods for services like HVAC installations or kitchen remodels means starting from scratch without targeted door-knocking or direct mail outreach
Inaccurate lead data from public directories like Zillow leads to 20% no-shows at site visits for foundation repairs or window replacements, burning $200+ in fuel per wasted trip and frustrating field teams with outdated property details
Competitive bidding wars on low-quality leads from Craigslist erode profit margins to under 15%, with 40% of estimates for fencing or patio installations never turning into revenue-generating contracts due to price-shopping homeowners

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Your Growth Potential with Custom Lead Flow
Fill Your Pipeline with Qualified Homeowner Inquiries
Fill Your Pipeline with Qualified Homeowner Inquiries: Our custom system delivers 40-60 vetted leads monthly, each matched to your specialties like kitchen remodels or roof replacements, including property age, square footage, and budget indicators. Contractors using our builds report 35% higher close rates within 60 days, turning more inquiries into signed contracts without the hassle of broad-net advertising on platforms like Thumbtack.
Streamline Estimator Workflows for Faster Bids
Streamline Estimator Workflows for Faster Bids: Leads arrive pre-enriched with site specifics like roof pitch for replacements or lot size for landscaping, plus owner needs from initial surveys, slashing preparation time from days to hours. This means your team bids on projects faster, outpacing competitors and securing jobs before they hit public boards—resulting in 25% more wins per quarter for services like electrical upgrades.
Scale Seasonally Without Hiring Extra Staff
Scale Seasonally Without Hiring Extra Staff: The AI adapts to peak seasons like spring renos for siding or fall HVAC tune-ups, ramping up lead volume intelligently while filtering out low-value noise via geofencing within 20 miles. General contractors see steady revenue even in slower months, with one client reporting a 20% uplift in winter bookings through hyper-local targeting of snow-damaged gutter repairs.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were buried under 100+ junk leads a month from aggregator sites like HomeAdvisor—half were out of our 30-mile service area in suburban Atlanta. Now, their custom system sends us 25 solid inquiries weekly, all local homeowners with real budgets for projects over $10K. We've landed three major kitchen additions in the last two months alone, and our estimators aren't chasing ghosts anymore—our bid win rate jumped 28%."
Mike Rodriguez
Owner, Rodriguez Home Remodeling, serving metro Atlanta
"I run a small crew for residential framing and roofing in the Pacific Northwest. The AI lead gen they built integrates right into our Jobber app, pulling in enriched data on property sizes, recent permits from local building departments, and urgency flags for storm damage. It cut our no-show rate from 30% to under 5% over six months, and we're booking 15% more jobs without adding salespeople—last quarter alone, we added two full roof replacements."
Sarah Patel
Founder, Patel Roofing & Framing Specialists, Portland OR
"Switching to this custom setup was a game-changer for our commercial-to-residential pivot in Denver's growing suburbs. The AI scores leads based on our niche in eco-friendly remodels, factoring in energy audit scores and solar-ready roofs, and we've seen a 40% bump in qualified outreach since launch three months ago. No more generic lists—just prospects that fit our workflow perfectly, like a recent $75K green kitchen project."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the custom lead generation differ from standard platforms like Angi or HomeAdvisor?
Standard platforms blast generic leads to every contractor in a zip code, leading to bidding wars and low-quality matches that waste your time. Our AIQ Labs solution is built specifically for your business: it analyzes your past projects, service radius, and client profiles to source targeted prospects—like homeowners in your area searching for kitchen remodels if that's your niche. We integrate it directly into your workflow, scoring leads for intent and enriching with details like budget estimates. General contractors typically see 40% higher conversions because it's not a one-size-fits-all feed; it's precision-engineered for your exact needs, reducing junk by 70% and delivering ownership of the system, not endless per-lead fees.
What data sources does the AI use to find leads for general contractors?
We tap into ethical, public-domain sources tailored to home services: real estate listings from MLS feeds, building permit databases from local municipalities, and online forums where homeowners discuss renos. The AI cross-references these with your criteria, like zip codes and project types (e.g., roofing or additions), to identify active seekers. For instance, it might flag a recent homebuyer with a large backyard as a potential deck project lead. All data is enriched for accuracy—verifying contacts and pulling property specs—without scraping private sites. This results in leads that are 50% more relevant than broad directories, helping you focus on bids that win.
How long does it take to set up and see results from the custom system?
Setup is efficient: after a 1-2 week discovery phase mapping your tools and goals, we build and integrate in 4-6 weeks, depending on complexity. Initial leads start flowing immediately upon launch, with full optimization in the first month as the AI learns from your feedback. One contractor client went from zero targeted leads to 20 qualified ones in week one, closing two jobs by month-end. We provide weekly check-ins to tweak scoring, ensuring you hit benchmarks like 25-30% conversion rates quickly. It's not a slow ramp; our production-ready approach gets you results fast, without the trial-and-error of off-the-shelf tools.
Can this integrate with my existing software like Buildertrend or QuickBooks?
Absolutely—integration is core to our approach. We create deep, two-way API connections to your stack, whether it's Buildertrend for scheduling, QuickBooks for invoicing, or even Google Workspace for team comms. For example, a new lead auto-populates as a project opportunity with enriched details, triggering estimator assignments and cost estimates. This eliminates manual entry, which plagues 60% of contractors and causes errors. Our systems are built on robust frameworks, ensuring 99% uptime and scalability as you grow. If you have legacy tools, we handle custom bridges, giving you a unified dashboard instead of juggling apps.
What if I'm a smaller contractor with limited budget— is this scalable for me?
Yes, we specialize in SMBs like yours, starting with lean builds that fit budgets from $10K for core lead gen. For a solo operator or small crew, we focus on high-ROI features like local targeting and basic scoring, scaling up as you add services. A client with five employees started with our system and doubled leads without extra hires, paying for itself in three months through won bids. Unlike subscription models that nickel-and-dime, you own the asset, with optional maintenance at 10% annually. We prioritize quick wins, like filling your off-season pipeline, to deliver value from the start—no enterprise pricing for small ops.
How do you ensure leads are high-quality and compliant with privacy laws?
Quality comes from AI precision: we train the model on your successful past deals to score leads by factors like project urgency, location fit, and budget signals, filtering out 80% of low-intent noise. Compliance is non-negotiable—we adhere to CCPA, GDPR, and TCPA, using only public data and opt-in verification for contacts. No cold-calling spam; leads are enriched ethically, with audit trails for every source. Contractors report 90% satisfaction rates because these are warm prospects, like recent permit filers, ready for your expertise. If a lead doesn't convert, we refine the algorithm iteratively, backed by our proven track record in regulated home services integrations.
