Home improvement is big business – and it’s only getting bigger. It’s estimated that the home improvement market will be worth $1,009 billion by the year 2027.

That adds up to huge profit for the contractors that know how to connect with their market.

The easiest way to connect with your market? Updating your website.

Think about it, if you want to attract new customers, you have to find a way to reach them and with 4.66 billion active internet users, it’s safe to say they’re online.

But how do you make your website stand out, provide the right information and attract new clients without being off-putting or confusing? Turns out it’s easier than you think.

Scroll down for the 30 BEST contractor websites and learn what makes these websites stand out from the crowd (that’s code for ‘steal their best design features and high-converting elements).

Best General Contractor Websites To Look Up To

Vincent Roofing specializes in colorbond, metal and zincalume roofing and reroofing projects. They cater to a very specific market, and their website does a great job at speaking to that market by:

  • Breaking down barriers and explaining why they’re better than their competition
  • Establishing the company’s expertise and experience in the field
  • Clearly explaining their contracting services
  • Driving site visitors to take action

The best part? This custom-made website (made by our own Tradie Digital team) accomplishes all of this in a no-frills style.

Each page establishes their credibility and encourages the customer to take action by asking key questions like, “why is it crucial to maintain your Brisbane roofing?”. This helps the website rank for contractor-related keywords AND gets inside a customer’s head to position the Vincent Roofing Team as an expert solution.

This contracting site also offers plenty of ways for site visitors to get a quote, while making their offerings clear and easy to understand. This makes it simple for people to find the roofing service they’re looking for, and engage with the company.

Why we love it: We may be biased, seeing as we created this site, but we’re big fans of the above-the-fold layout. Displaying all the most important info and promoting their services with trust indicators like ‘$120 Off Roofing Services’ and ‘6 Year Warranty’ help drive clicks, calls and customers.

The best websites convert customers by making them want to book a service on the spot – and Coast2Country’s website, built on the Pedestal platform, does exactly that.

Hiring a contractor requires trust, which is why this site’s multiple trust indicators are so effective. These include:

  • A “We Will Beat Any Quote” guarantee at the top of their homepage
  • Easy to find buttons and phone numbers that allow their audience to easily schedule a free quote or a consultation
  • The ability to secure a quote within 24 hours, further removing friction between a quote request

As customers scroll, they can also find all relevant services easily, while learning what sets Coast2Country apart from the competition. In short, this contracting site has all the information a customer might be looking for directly on the homepage.

Why we love it: Site visitors are notoriously fickle. If info is hard to find, they’ll bounce back to Google to look for an easier way. This website takes this customer psychology and applies it with all relevant info, including multiple quote request options, without needing to scroll down a single pixel.

Specifically, you can see D&V Turf’s top four selling points atop their homepage:

  • Buy direct from growers

Check out the homepage which acts as a digital salesperson by sharing:

  • The history and reputation of the business
  • The primary selling points, or “Why Choose Us”
  • The services offered
  • Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

The FAQ section, in particular, answers multiple questions which not only helps provide information a potential customer needs to make a purchasing decision, but boosts their SEO.

Evergreen Synthetic Grass is a “one-stop-shop” for artificial grass purchase and installation.

In addition to offering comprehensive and clear information, Evergreen’s website shares unique selling points that help bring awareness and speak to a potential customer’s pain points.

This ability to create content around customer psychology – along with social proof and testimonials – helps their contracting site stand out from the competition.

Why we love it: Evergreen touches on social and environmental issues to emotionally connect to the reader. It’s a mistake to think customers act on logic, when it’s emotion that drives much of their buying behavior. By targeting a customer’s pain points, the Ecolawn site makes a deep personal connection that will help bring in more enquiries.

  • The products they use in their remodels
  • What makes their services different, which includes extensive experience and comprehensive warranty offerings.

Diamond Finish Concrete is a family-owned business in Perth that offers a variety of concrete services, although they specialize in exposed aggregate concrete. We love how Diamond Finish Concrete really plants their flag with a specific product: exposed aggregate concrete.

Although they offer other concrete options, including stamped concrete, honed concrete and pool concrete, it’s clear that exposed aggregate concrete is their bread and butter.

This is a great note for all contractors: if you have a specialty, make sure it’s clear on your website from the start. This not only carves out a niche for you in the industry, but also encourages customers to choose you if they’re looking for the best in the business.

Why we love it: The Diamond Finish Concrete team chose a specialty and pushed it throughout their website. This kind of specialization can help any business find their niche and stand out from the crowd. Remember, you don’t want to be everything for everyone. By finding a niche audience, you can become a trusted, local expert.

Based in Florida, Contractors Reporting Services is a business that helps contractors become licensed and prepared for jobs in the field.

The first thing you see when you land on the company’s homepage is the slogan, “Get down to building. We’ll handle the rest.” This quickly establishes trust and sets the tone for the rest of the site while sending a simple message: they’ve got you covered.

This type of clear, effective messaging is re-emphasized throughout the rest of the site, both through descriptions of services and through powerful value statements.

Why we love it: Simplicity is effective. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is come up with a great message and stick to it. Contractors Reporting Services does exactly that by focusing on the benefit of their service, which is to simplify complex problems.

#13 – Spie UK

Although not exactly a contractor website in the traditional sense, we thought this site was worth including because it brings up a great point – if you offer a complex product or service, you must make it simple and interesting to your audience.

Spie UK accomplishes this by displaying:

  • Powerful explainer video on the homepage.
  • A clear, visually pleasing homepage layout that shows their services, sectors, and social proof.

The Kitchen Master is a kitchen and bathroom remodeling company based out of Illinois, USA.

Our favorite part of their website is the comprehensive photo gallery of their services and remodelling projects. We’ve all heard that a picture is worth a thousand words, and this is especially true when you have something tangible that you’re offering.

Showing the range of options available to site visitors can not only inspire them to contact you but also build trust in a way words alone can’t.

The short version? Don’t forget to include great images on your website.

Why we love it: This contractor website uses photos and video to great effect to showcase their skills and services. People retain 10% of information through text, but 65% when that text is paired with images, so use high-quality photos to your advantage.

  • How they helped a client rebrand their business
  • How customers benefit from their equipment services
  • How they help their communities

Case studies can be a powerful method of communication if you offer a complex service that people need to see “in the field.”

Why we love it: Without a case study, you could get bogged down trying to explain all the details – and Interserve does a great job of avoiding that through thoughtful, effective customer stories. If you’ve got a track record of success, show it off.

Adorned Homes is a company that offers luxury interior design in Minnesota, USA. This business does a great job at establishing their brand identity as a sleek, luxury interior design company.

Every element speaks to refined luxury and cleanliness, including their website design, imagery and typeface.

This kind of consistency is more important than you might realize. Think about it, suppose you offer luxury remodels, but your website is clunky and the colors clash. Do you think customers will feel confident having you re-do their homes?

Nope.

So follow Adorned Homes’ model and make sure there’s consistency between what you say and what you show on your website.

Why we love it: This website’s design, copy, imagery, and layout consistently displays luxury and refinement, helping to establish the company’s message and brand identity. Your contracting website should reflect your core business values, whether that’s luxury, sustainability, speed, etc.

On their website, Treasured Spaces leads with reviews and accreditations. Reviews are common on contracting sites, but the accreditations are particularly effective.

Why we love it: You don’t have to choose between old-school and modern to be successful, and McCarthy’s website proves that point extremely well. Be willing to embrace technological trends and web design styles to showcase a modern side to your contracting business.

Take the time to understand your customer’s needs. Are they looking for financial savings? Sustainable services? Or is safety their #1 priority? When you understand your customer, you can create a website and copy that speaks directly to them.

  • A Classic Bathroom Design
  • 7 Coffee Station Idea

In short, they offer inspiration and ideas for anyone that lands on their site, and this kind of informative, relevant insight helps funnel site visitors towards a conversion.
