Hows business for the rest of you guys right now? I’m pretty slow right now, I was this time last year too. What do you guys do to drum of business this time of year?
I keep on saying I’m gonna get my finances in order enough to get an investment property to work on through the winter. I should probably finish my own house first though.
pretty slow here as well. Mostly I just work on crafts/hobbies to sell come spring to make up for lost income
I’ve got a regular 9-5, but what little bit of side work I had has dried up. I’m thinking of generating a Facebook page and trying to drum up some jobs.
Anyone have any tips?

InstagramHouzz has led to more leads than facebook for me.
I always start getting calls from home advisor this time of year. They somehow get me when I’m desperate and I nearly sign up. Luckily a quick look their page on the BBB sets my mind straight!
I am as slow as I want to be for now so I can spend some time renovating my house . Things will pick for me as soon as the snow starts melting .
I’ve also been emailing past clients over the past few days trying to drum some stuff up. Hopefully that works…

Facebook helps make your company be more legit and social media brings likes of projects no really a lead place in my mind . Most people i know on it hate the adds from business.,
Always willing to learn .

It happens to a lot of us contractors this time of year . Once people get there tax checks usually the start calling for things to be done .

Its been slow since the cold came, and starts to get busy when it warms up. I need to find a few more building to do maintenance to pick up the pace.

InstagramI don’t need a client with a tax rebate, I want one with a trust fund.
Aim High!Ha! I think that’s part of why I’m slow actually. I’ve been working on rebranding and trying to market myself to high end clients. I haven’t really been taking the lower quality jobs like I used to.

Lower quality being repairs , doors and windows or kicthens and baths .

things are starting to pick up, we have two on the go one of which is bigger in scale and were in the finish stages of things, the other job started 2 weeks ago.. the killer has been the weather here . its not holding up the work directly as its mostly all inside work but the ability to get to work as the roads are a nightmare.. as of monday the police issued what i think was the 3rd “stay off the roads for your safety” statment this month with otherdays nearly being that bad
heres a tip, dont fart in a space suit
Construction work is at a standstill for me.
5 feet of snow..plowing and clearing roofs, that’s it for now..
