Leads Or A Waste Of Time?


Has anyone heard of Renovation Experts? A guy call today and I had him email me some leads. I figure he is just try to get a monthly membership fee and make the boss happy. They have some celebrity faces on there sight. Does anyone have any experience with them. Thanks

I used these guys for one month. It was $170 for one month and five leads. The good things is you got to choose the ones you wanted. But I only got one job out of them and then said that was average and the radius they gave me was too far away on some leads. Hope this helps.

They were real idiots with me, I ended up having my credit card company intervene.

signed up, at $150 a month for windows, siding and sunroom leads.

-nice thing is, you get to pick and choose out of the leads they send you.

but considering all the leads were for your basic,..and VERY basic handyman type of services (repair a broken doorknob,...replace a torn/ ripped screen...or repair one square of vinyl siding that was ripped off from a storm) you're going to have a hard time reaping any type of ROI unless you're in fact a one man show working out of his pick-up.

--we've since signing up with them have ****canned them....but to each his own.

Good luck, but I'd personally look elsewhere for leads.
