Hear What Our Customers Have to Say About RemodelerPro


We keep telling you how great RemodelerPro is, but maybe it is time that you heard it from a few of our previous customers.

"RemodelerPro has completely changed the way I do business! I am from Canada and we have a much longer winter and a short and frantic building season. Their scheduling software has made managing multiple projects and tight deadlines during the hectic summer months easy and efficient. All I need to do is glance at my scheduling calendar and I can see the status of every job. I am more organized now, and can take on more work. I have increased my income by 23%-- RemodelerPro pays for itself (and then some)."

"This is my first website and I can’t believe how easy it was to set up. Within a couple of hours, I was online with a professional looking site. I uploaded photos of some of my past jobs and information about my remodeling services. Now, new clients can learn about my services 24-7."

"Using RemodelerPro has tripled the number of referrals I was getting before I switched to this system. My clients love being able to send photos of their project to their friends and family, paying for services online, and tracking the progress of their remodel with the calendar. They feel secure and confident in my work thanks to RemodelerPro."

"I love having my own online store! I checked out a lot of different software programs before going with RemodelerPro, and no other program offers anything like this. Not only can I manage every aspect of every project, but I have been able to increase my sales and margin by selling plumbing and lighting fixtures directly to my clients. Now, I am looking into adding tile and granite. By using RemodelerPro, I am making extra money on sales that would have gone to someone else."
All of these delighted clients can't be wrong. Impress your customers and increase your profits by getting started with RemodelerPro today!

Four Ways to Kill your Home Remodeling Business



1. Not Having a Website

The Pew Internet Research Center indicates that:

88% use a search engine to find information.

81% look for information about a product or service that they are thinking about buying.

47% Use an online networking site like Facebook.

31% Rate a product or service using an online rating service (like Yelp or Angie’s List).

So basically if your home remodeling or contracting business does not have a website your customers cannot find you. You do want new customers, right?


2. Being disorganized


Missing appointments, losing documents, and getting off schedule will cost you money and clients. That is why smart contractors and home remodelers keep everything together by using some type of project management or scheduling software designed especially for them. We recommend the RemodelerPro software for home remodelers (of course). But seriously, home remodelers have a lot of balls to juggle at one time and you really need something which can keep you on track.

3. Lack of Trust


Consumers are wary of contractors. We all know this. So basically, every customer interaction you have needs to instill trust in a potential customer. From your website, to your telephone conversations, to your behavior and interactions during the estimate-- you need to project confidence, professionalism, and competence.

You can do this on your own, of course. But RemodelerPro has something built right into the software which can help you—customer access to their project. Instead of just telling your customers that everything is going well and that you are on top of all of the details, they can see for themselves. All they need to do is log in through your website and they can view their project details. They will know in an instant whether their project is on time and on budget—and they best part, they can share photos with their friends!


4. Forgetting the Follow-Up


How many times have you let a potential lead slip through your fingers because you lost their contact information, forgot to call them or were simply too busy? With the RemodelerPro software for home remodelers, managing leads and contacts is fast and easy. Create sales letters to send to prospective customers, use your customer list to send newsletters, or send satisfaction surveys on completed projects.


Keep your home remodeling business alive and try the RemodelerPro software today!

RemodelerPro FAQ

We get a lot of questions at RemodelerPro, so we thought we would post a couple of your frequently asked questions and hopefully give you a better idea of how RemodelerPro works (and why you need it).




Do I really need a website and can I really build my own site with RemodelerPro?



You really need a website. Think about it. When was the last time you looked at a phonebook? Do you even know where your phonebook is? One of the great things about the internet is that it is like one gigantic virtual phone book. When someone Google’s “Home Remodelers in Random Town, USA” your business will show up in the results. And what’s even better than showing up? Having a website for potential customers to learn more about your company.

I have several employees and work with a lot of subcontractors will this really make it easier to communicate with them?



RemodelerPro keeps all of your communication in one place and we make it easy to sort and manage your contacts. Easily upload important documents and communicate quickly with key players on each project.

Make Email Marketing Easier with RemodelerPro

One of the great (but rarely mentioned) benefits of RemodelerPro is the ability to create email marketing campaigns right from your contact list. No importing/exporting contacts into MailChimp or Constant Contact, simply select a template/ or write your email and choose which group of contacts to communicate with and BOOM! You are done. It couldn’t be easier.

Here are a few tips to make your email marketing campaign a success.

1.Only contact those who have signed up to be on your list or have agreed to receive periodic emails from your company.
2.Consider what day/time you are sending your emails out. An informational email sent on a Sunday morning might be welcomed by someone pondering their next home improvement project over coffee, but that very same email could get deleted, without being read, on a busy Monday morning.
3.Plan an email schedule and stick to it. Perhaps you communicate with your list twice a month, maybe one email is about a promotion, and the other contains news and useful information.
4.Don’t make it all about you. Entertain, inform, and educate. You are an expert in your field; why not share some of that knowledge with potential customers?
5.If your email campaign doesn’t seem to be working try split A/B testing. Split A/B testing is when you split your list in half and one section of the list receives email A and the other portion of the list receives email B. Track responses to determine which email generates the most interest.

Sounds simple, right?

That is because RemodelerPro is all about making your job easier, and faster, and better.
