Professional Remodeler
Most remodelers readily admit that word of mouth is their best source of leads, and a recent survey by the National Association of Home Builders backs them up. The study shows that almost two-thirds of consumers use suggestions from friends, relatives and neighbors in their search for a remodeling contractor - more than triple the next most-often cited source, the consumer’s own previous experience with the remodeler.
