Reviews

Reply to the reviews you have. Mention the job, not a discount. If you do not have reviews yet, the listing should still be accurate. Empty and honest beats a fake stack.

Mistakes that cost the next job

  • One gallery that mixes interior and exterior with no labels.
  • Coating over a failure you did not name.
  • Promising a dry-week exterior in a wet climate without a schedule.
  • Kansas City is not the whole map. Brookside, Waldo, and Lee's Summit are a believable route only if you go there. Adding St. Louis because it is nearby is how the appointment slips.
  • Copy that ignores hot humid summers, cold winters, freeze, hail, and wind that shows up in roof and door season reads like a template. So does a photo set that does not match brick and frame houses with basements on the Missouri side, and a large Kansas-side suburban stock that is a different state license
