For contractors — builders, roofers, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, HVAC technicians — your website is your storefront. When a homeowner needs work done, they search Google, they check out a few sites, and they call the one that looks trustworthy. If you're not showing up with a professional site, you're invisible to that homeowner.
We've built contractor websites that rank in local search, capture quote requests, and showcase portfolios in a way that wins the job before the first call. Our streamlined process gets you from zero to live in 48 hours — so you can start capturing leads this week, not next month.
Contractor website design is different from general web design because the buying decision is different. Homeowners hiring a contractor are making a significant financial commitment — often $5,000 to $50,000 or more. They spend more time evaluating their options, they look harder at credentials and reviews, and they're far more likely to request multiple quotes. Your website needs to work harder to build trust than a restaurant or retail site ever would.
The best contractor websites do something most businesses don't: they show the work in detail. A photo gallery of completed projects — before and after shots, in-progress documentation, finished rooms and structures — is the single most effective conversion element on a contractor site. Homeowners hiring a contractor want proof, not promises. Your portfolio provides that proof before you ever shake hands.
We've built contractor websites for general contractors, roofers, remodelers, deck builders, painters, and specialty tradespeople across dozens of markets. The pattern that works is consistent: license and insurance front and center, a portfolio that does the selling, a quote request form that pre-qualifies the job, and service area information that confirms you work in the customer's neighborhood.
Contractors who launch a professional website typically see their lead quality improve significantly — not just lead volume. When your site clearly communicates your specialty, displays your past work, and asks the right questions in a quote form, the customers who contact you are already pre-sold on hiring you. You're not starting from zero on every call.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a contractor website design cost?+
Our plans start at $399 for the Starter package (1–2 pages, 48-hour delivery), $699 for Growth (3–5 pages, 72 hours), and $1,099 for Full Site (6–12 pages, 96 hours). All plans include SSL + first year of hosting. One-time price — no monthly fees.
How long does it take to build a contractor website design?+
Depending on your plan: Starter in 48 hours, Growth in 72 hours, Full Site in 96 hours. The clock starts after we approve your intake form — not at the time of payment. Most sites are delivered well within the quoted window.
Do I need to provide content or copy for my contractor website design?+
No. Choose "We Write It All" during checkout and our team writes professional copy and selects industry-matched stock images for every page. You just describe your business on the intake form.
Will I own my website after it's built?+
Yes — 100%. Once your site is live, you own all code and design outright. There are no monthly fees or lock-in. After the first year, hosting renews at $120–$360/year depending on your plan (optional).
What should a contractor website include?+
A professional contractor website should include: your state contractor license number and liability insurance information, a photo portfolio of completed projects, a services page listing your specific trades and specialties, a service area section showing which cities and counties you cover, a quote request form that captures project type and scope, customer reviews or testimonials, and your contact information prominently displayed. For specialty contractors, dedicated pages per service type (roofing, additions, kitchen remodel) significantly improve local search rankings.
How much does a contractor website cost?+
Contractor websites from 48HourWebsites start at $399 for a Starter site, $699 for a Growth site with portfolio and quote form, and $1,099 for a Full Site with dedicated service pages, gallery, and full SEO setup. All plans include SSL and the first year of hosting. General web design agencies typically quote $4,000–$12,000 for contractor websites with similar functionality and 6–12 week timelines.
How do I get more leads from my contractor website?+
The fastest way to increase leads from a contractor website is to add a detailed quote request form that captures the job type, location, timeline, and contact info — then make sure that form appears on every page, not just the contact page. Beyond that: adding more completed project photos, collecting and displaying customer reviews, and creating individual service pages (rather than one generic services page) all increase both search rankings and conversion rates.
How long does it take to build a contractor website?+
With 48HourWebsites, contractor websites are delivered in 48–96 hours depending on your plan. The process starts with a detailed intake form you fill out once — describing your services, uploading project photos, and sharing your preferences. A dedicated designer and developer build and deliver your complete site within that window. Traditional agencies typically take 6–12 weeks for contractor websites at 5–10x the cost.
Do contractors need a website to get jobs?+
Yes — especially for any job type where the homeowner is doing research before committing. A referral who searches your name and finds no website, or finds an outdated one, is a lead at risk. A referral who searches your name and finds a professional site with a strong portfolio and good reviews is a lead confirmed. Beyond referrals, a website opens up Google search as an entirely new lead channel — one that generates inbound calls from homeowners who have never heard of you.
What makes a good contractor web design company?+
A good contractor web design company understands the trust hierarchy in home services: license and insurance first, portfolio second, reviews third, pricing fourth. The best contractor websites lead with credentials and let the work speak for itself. Look for a web design company with a portfolio that includes trade and contractor businesses — not just restaurants, retail, or tech companies — and that includes copywriting as part of the service rather than expecting you to write all the content yourself.
