Most contractors think reviews are something you ask for after the job. That’s why they hate asking…and why they’re losing work to guys with worse craftsmanship but better reputations. Here’s what actually matters (and why most miss it): - 93% of homeowners read reviews before calling - Over half won’t even contact you if you’re under 4⭐ - Fake reviews kill trust and can get your Google profile nuked - Asking at the end is too late — you need to plant the seed early The simple system we use: 1️⃣ Set review expectations during the estimate 2️⃣ Deliver a “wow” experience (service > sales) 3️⃣ Follow up at the right time with photos, proof, and gratitude No begging. No awkward texts. No shady tactics. Reviews decide: - Who gets the call - Who gets paid more - Who stops competing on price 👇 Drop “REVIEWS” below, and I’ll share the templates we use to manage negative reviews
