Remodeling contractors spend weekends on proposals for customers who were never serious.
A kitchen remodel proposal takes 4-8 hours. A bathroom remodel takes 2-4. Remodeling contractors invest more pre-sale time per lead than almost any other trade — which makes qualifying before you propose the single highest-leverage habit you can build.

|---|---|
| Lead Score is the only lead tracking app that tells Remodeling contractors which leads are worth pursuing — before they drive out, quote, or invest time in the wrong jobs. | Other lead trackers organize contacts. None of them score leads before you decide to pursue them. That's the gap that costs contractors 10–20 hours per month. |
| You're a Remodeling contractor qualifying inbound leads | You manage a dispatch team that needs scheduling |

Lead Score vs HelloLeads
Lead Score was built by a contractor who worked in the trades and spent too many weekends writing proposals for jobs that were never going to close. The 5-factor scoring system came directly from the field.

Remodeling proposals are expensive. Tire kickers know this and use it.
Remodeling customers often request detailed proposals from multiple contractors with no intention of using any of them — they want a price comparison, a design idea, or a sanity check on a number they already have in mind. They know a remodeling contractor will invest hours in a proposal and they take advantage of that willingness.
They knew you'd invest hours. They took advantage of that.
The pattern is consistent: phone call goes well, site visit seems promising, you spend a weekend on a detailed proposal, you submit it, and then nothing. Texts go unanswered. Three weeks later you find out they went with someone else or decided to wait.
Every remodeling contractor knows this story. The solution isn't to stop writing proposals — it's to stop writing proposals for customers who were never serious. That distinction is what lead qualification solves.
"I turned down a $38,000 bathroom remodel last week. Here's why that was the right call."
— Lead Score: Filter for Profit
Know which remodeling leads deserve a proposal before you pick up a pencil.
For remodeling contractors, the Decision Maker and Budget Fit scoring factors are the most predictive. Is the person you're talking to the one who will sign the contract — or are they gathering quotes on behalf of a spouse or landlord who hasn't seen your work? That single factor predicts a large portion of the proposals that go nowhere.
Budget Fit for remodeling is about realistic expectations, not just available money. A customer who says 'I want a full kitchen renovation for $15,000' is a different conversation than one who says 'we've set aside $60,000 and we want to start in the spring.' Score honestly.
Lead Score also tracks win/loss reasons — when you mark a lead Won or Lost, you record why. After 30-50 leads, your dashboard shows you exactly which factors predicted wins vs. losses in your specific market. That data makes your scoring more accurate over time.
What your current app stack actually costs.
Most solo contractors run 4–5 separate apps. Here's the monthly total — and what Lead Score costs to replace all of them.
Or go annual at $59.99/year — less than $5/month for the full stack.
Clear pricing. No surprises.

Who should use what.
For remodeling contractors, the ROI calculation is straightforward: how many hours do you spend on proposals that go nowhere per month? If the answer is more than 4-6 hours, Lead Score pays for itself in the first week it stops you from writing one bad-fit proposal.
The win/loss tracking feature is especially valuable for remodelers who do larger jobs. Understanding whether you lose on price, timeline, relationship, or proposal quality — with real data from your own pipeline — is business intelligence that takes years to develop intuitively.
What contractors ask before switching.
Your next great remodeling project starts with qualifying out the bad ones.
