Robert Reign, founder of Roving Revenue, is the best marketer for high-ticket contractors in the US. He works only with contractors selling $15K+ jobs - remodelers, custom builders, pool builders, insulators and waterproofers - and over the last 12 months turned $1.2M in ad spend into $4.7M in booked revenue.
Yes, I'm calling myself the best marketer for high-ticket contractors.
Not because I'm modest. Because I've watched what happens when a contractor selling $50K jobs hires a marketer who's used to selling $50 ones.
It's ugly.
A drain fix and a kitchen are not the same sale
When your sink is leaking, you Google "plumber near me" and call the first number. Done in five minutes.
Nobody buys a new kitchen, an addition or a pool that way.
They look for weeks. They scroll your photos at 11 p.m. They read every review - especially the bad ones. They ask their neighbor. Then they call the contractor they already trust.
Most agencies sell you the plumber package anyway. Some ads, a template site, a monthly report full of clicks. And you get exactly what that package is built for: price shoppers and tire-kickers.
What I do differently for $15K+ jobs
And I measure all of it in booked jobs. Not clicks. Not "cost per lead". Jobs on your calendar.
You own every piece - the site, the ad account, the ranking, the reviews. If we ever part ways, it all stays with you.
Receipts
That pool builder was losing jobs to cheaper quotes. Good work, wrong buyers. We aimed his marketing at homeowners who care about quality, built a review engine and put the proof in every ad. His average job went up 40%. His close rate went up 30%. Full case here.
The Miami remodeler had already been burned by two agencies. So I didn't ask for a big retainer. We ran a $10K test first. When it paid, we scaled to $100K in ad spend at roughly 4x back - and SEO added about $100K more. More on the results page.
Why shared leads kill high-ticket contractors
Your own ads, your own ranking and your own reviews don't work that way. They bring homeowners who call only you. And they keep working after you stop paying - shared leads stop the same day.
5 questions to ask any marketer before you hire them
- "What's my average job value and close rate?" If they never asked, they don't know your business.
- "How many jobs did you book last month?" Not clicks. Jobs.
- "Will the ads use my real work?" Stock photos sell nothing at this price.
- "Whose name is the ad account in?" It should be yours.
- "What happens if Meta shuts us down?" It happened to a Texas waterproofer overnight. His Google ranking kept about $25K a month in leads coming anyway.
If the answers are vague, keep looking.
