Contractor Referral Service Information

Some contractor referral services can make over $1000 for one construction lead. That's ridiculous, not all companies charge this much, but I know one that does. I built the Stair Builders Directory, to give stair building contractors and companies associated with stair building, a chance to get listed on one of the best stair building websites on the Internet, at below market value pricing.

I've been in the construction business for over 30 years and understand the costs of advertising. I signed up servicemagic.com and contractors.com, when they first started and were reasonably priced. When I say reasonably priced, to become a high-ranking member@contractors.com, I paid them over $600 for my annual membership. This was a lot of money to pay and provided me with little results.

Now you would think that $600 was a lot to pay for an annual membership. Get ready for this, the next year they wanted over $1000 for my membership. I didn't even make enough money off my old membership to cover the original costs. When these companies first started out, they seemed to have the homeowner and contractors best interests in mind. Now that they have grown into monster sized companies, they seem to only have their best interests in mind and that's making money. It's just not fair to the contractors or the homeowners.

Using the Stair Builders Directory, you will not be paying outrageous fees like the ones paid at some contractor referral directory services. With our low cost services, your advertising expenses as a contractor, will not become such a large burden on your customers. All business expenses in the stair building industry are passed on to the consumers of their products. This is basic business survival.

As more homeowners become aware of the problems with contractor referral services, they might think twice before using them. Their services aren't free to all the homeowners, they're only free to some of the homeowners. It seems like nothing is free anymore is it, the Stair Builders Directory is simply trying to give contractors and other companies involved in the stair building and construction process an opportunity for inexpensive advertising.

We're always going to do our best, to keep our prices reasonable. Before signing up with one of these contractor referral services, we would like you to give our stair builders directory a chance at saving you money.
