Sound Familiar?

Every Lost Lead Is a Lost Job.

Miss just one lead a month, a lead that was a real job, and look at what it costs.

At an average project value of $10,000, that's $120,000 in booked work handed away over a year. Without ever seeing the invoice you never got to send.

Now what if it's one a week? That's over $500,000 gone.

The leak is silent. The bill is enormous.

Lead2Project Builder closes it: every lead answered in seconds, qualified, and booked, so the job stays yours.

The call you missed

It rang while you or a team member were unavailable. So they called the next painter.

The 9pm weekend lead

Filled out your form, then waited. By Monday they'd booked someone else.

The estimate you forgot to chase

Quoted, then buried under the next job. Silence lost you the work.

The lead that went cold

No follow-up, no reminder, no second touch. Gone for good.

How It Works

The 11 Steps, Done For You

The moment a lead lands, this runs automatically at any time of day, night and weekends.

Catch

Every lead, every source

1

A lead arrives from any source — ads, website, Yelp, a missed call, a referral form.

2

Within seconds, the system sends an SMS and an email.

3

That message delivers a pre-qualification form.

Qualify

Real jobs only

4

A budget threshold qualifies or disqualifies the lead — so you only spend time on real jobs.

5

Qualified leads get a calendar to book their estimate visit.

6

Reminders fire 2–3 days out and again on the day — killing no-shows.

Estimate

You show up, we set it up

7

You turn up and do the estimate.

8

Painter chooses to send the estimate by email or meet with the client

Close

Contract to deposit, automated

9

The client accepts — the contract is emailed automatically.

10

They get confirmation of the signed contract, plus a deposit invoice.

11

The deposit is paid online, and the job date is booked through a second calendar.

You do the estimates. The system does everything around them.

Why Lead2Project Builder

They run the job. We get you the job.

Already using an app to manage your jobs? Good, keep it. Those tools run a job once it's booked: scheduling, dispatch, invoicing. But that's not where painters lose money.

You lose it earlier: the call you missed, the lead you didn't reach fast enough, the quote you forgot to chase. The apps most painters use don't catch the lead, answer in seconds, or run the follow-up. That's the exact leak costing you jobs, and closing it is all we do.

And here's the real difference:

Most painting software is something you set up and run yourself. Lead2Project is built, installed, and run for you. You never touch the tech.

Those tools are generic home-services platforms. This is built for painting: budget pre-qualification, estimate-to-deposit, tuned to how painters actually win work.

We complement what you already use, or replace it. We scope exactly which on your Discovery call.

That's why it costs more than a cheap monthly app. You're not buying software to operate. You're buying a system someone builds and runs for you, plugging the leak the common apps leave wide open.

What You Get

One system, set up for you. From first contact to paid deposit.

All of it, set up for you. You don't build a thing. You take the booked jobs.

Catch every lead

Every call, form, chat, and message, from every source, answered in 5 seconds.

Qualify and book

A few smart questions sort real jobs from time-wasters, then book the site visit on your calendar.

Follow up, automatically

Quotes chased, no-shows recovered, cold leads warmed, without you touching a thing.

Pricing

Simple pricing. We set the whole thing up for you.

One-time setup starting from $1,497. This depends on what you already have in place and we scope this on your Discovery call. Then pick the plan and billing cycle that fits:

FAQ

Common questions

I'm not a tech person.

You don't need to be. We build the entire system and hand it over ready to book jobs. You don't touch the tech.

I already use an app to manage my jobs. Do I need Lead2Project Builder?

If you're already using an app to manage your jobs…good, keep it. Those tools run a job once it's booked: scheduling, dispatch, invoicing. Lead2Project Builder catches the lead, answers in seconds, and runs the marketing follow-up to increase the likelihood of them booking a site visit. We plug the exact leak costing you clients, and closing it is all we do.

Do I own my leads and data?

Yes. Your leads, contacts, and conversations are yours. Always.

How does it start?

A 15-minute Discovery call. No pitch, no demo. We just find out what you're running now, how you capture leads today, and where they're slipping. Then we scope your setup.

Is it worth it?

Consider this basic potential…

If the full 'Growth Engine' service is paid monthly at $597, the total annual cost is $7,164 + setup of $1,497, totalling $8,661.

The annual cost paid upfront for this full 'Growth Engine' service is the reduced price of $6,084. Add the setup fee of $1,497 and the base annual cost paid upfront to save $1,080.00 is $7,581.

Winning as few as 1 job extra per month for 12 months, using a very low average project value of $5,000, adds an annual revenue increase of $60,000 ($5k x 12).

This is 7-8 times return on the annual Lead2Project Builder cost as a bare minimum. Plus the cost of lost leads and chasing leads plummets. It's a win-win.

About Murray

Clear Focus First. Always.

Lead2Project Builder exists because hard-working painting contractors lose $1,000's each month from lost leads.

Murray K. Smith built a painting and 'small project' renovation business from scratch by door-knocking in the height of summer, eight hours a day, with no trade experience. Within four weeks he had a team of five.

Over six years it grew to $500k (at 2008 prices) without ever working on the tools. The lesson stuck: owners hit ceilings and growth blocks not because they lack systems, courage or hard work, it's because they cannot see the cause of the ceiling.

When a contractor-owner bites the bullet and installs automation tools, they get their life back. Growing profit becomes a system, not an accident.

Painting contractors don't need another app to babysit. They need a system that catches every lead, books the job, and gives them their evenings back. That's what Lead2Project Builder does.

Stop Letting Good Leads Go Cold

Every day without a system is jobs going to the painter who answered first.

Let's find your leak and plug it. 15 minutes, no pressure, no jargon.

No hard sell. Just a straight look at whether this fits your business.
