30 qualified leads in 90 days, or no management fee

30

The rules are written into the agreement before launch. The waiver covers our management fee; your media budget goes straight to Google and Meta with no markup. You can leave after any monthly review.

Counts toward the 30

  • A live caller in your service ZIP codes asking for a quote or a visit
  • A form with a reachable phone or email and a job you perform
  • A property manager requesting a bid on a building in your area
  • A repeat customer who found you again through a campaign
  • A lead you chose not to take because your calendar was full

Does not count

  • Robocalls, spam forms and wrong numbers
  • Duplicate contacts from the same person inside 30 days
  • Callers outside the service area written into the agreement
  • Requests for work you told us you do not do
  • Job seekers, vendors and sales pitches

Rules your flooring pages and contracts follow

A Chicago license, shown on the page

Residential flooring work other than carpet needs a City of Chicago Home Repair license, or a General Contractor license, which is required when the job needs a building permit. We put the license on every page and ad.

City of Chicago BACP and Department of Buildings

When a permit is needed

Tiling, carpeting and similar finish work need no building permit. Removing or replacing the subfloor is a different job, and designated Chicago Landmarks can lose the exemption.

Chicago Department of Buildings, work without a permit

Written contracts and the consumer pamphlet

On homes of up to six units, jobs over $1,000 need a written contract, and the “Home Repair: Know Your Consumer Rights” pamphlet goes to every customer. Carpet is excluded from the Act.

815 ILCS 513/10, 15, 20

Insurance minimums

Contractors covered by the Act carry at least $100,000 per person and $300,000 per occurrence for injury and $50,000 for property damage. Saying so on the page answers the trust question.

815 ILCS 513/25

Lead-safe work in older homes

In homes built before 1978, disturbing more than six square feet of painted surface per room requires an EPA-certified firm. About three in four Chicago homes were built before 1980, so refinishing pages explain how you work safely.

Questions Chicago flooring companies ask

How do flooring companies in Chicago get more leads?

By advertising the right job in the right neighborhood. 39% of Chicago homes were built before 1940 and 60% in Berwyn, which makes refinishing the lead job there, while about half of Naperville's homes date from 1980 to 1999, where carpet and laminate are being replaced with luxury vinyl plank (US Census Bureau, ACS 2024). Pages, ads and photos built per job type and suburb, plus fast follow-up on every quote, turn those searches into booked measures.

Should flooring companies market to property managers in Chicago?

Yes, if you do rental work. 54% of Chicago homes are renter-occupied (ACS 2024), and every unit turnover is a flooring decision for a landlord or property manager. A separate page and outreach for unit turns, with fast scheduling and durable products, wins repeat business.

Do you guarantee flooring leads?

Yes, for Chicago trades: 30 qualified leads in 90 days, or no management fee. A qualified lead is a live caller or a reachable form in your service ZIP codes asking for work you do, including property managers requesting a bid. Spam, duplicates, out-of-area calls and job seekers do not count.

What does flooring marketing cost in Chicago?

Campaign management starts at $3,500 a month and search at $3,000 a month. Ad spend is paid directly to Google and Meta in accounts you own, with no markup. Install and showroom film starts at $15,000. You can leave after any monthly review.

Do you film our installs and showroom?

Yes. Our own crew films before and after refinishing, installs in progress and your showroom, so every ad and page shows your work and your floors, never stock photos.

Have you worked with Chicago flooring companies before?

Not with a flooring company we can name yet. Most of our work is real estate and construction, where we film interiors, run lead campaigns and build the pages buyers check. On one client's Instagram account, profile visits rose 1,190% in 90 days. The lead guarantee exists so you do not have to take the rest on trust.
