Ten companies say they build websites for general contractors and remodelers. Most of what's public about that claim is a landing page with the word "contractor" in the headline, a stock photo of a man in a hard hat, and a "request a quote" button. So this is the checked version: who actually shows a named contractor build you can go look at, who publishes a price without a sales call, and the question almost none of them answer up front, who owns the site when you stop paying.
That last one matters more for a contractor than for most businesses. A remodeler's website is where the $40,000 kitchen and the $80,000 addition get decided, and if the domain, the hosting and the Google Business Profile are registered to the marketing company, leaving them means starting over from zero. Every build we do puts those in your name from day one, which is why we checked everyone else on this list for the same thing.
What Actually Matters When You're Comparing These
Before the list, three filters worth applying to every company below, including us:
- A named contractor build you can open. Not a page that says "we work with remodelers." A live site, with the company named, for a contractor who sells what you sell. Then look at it the way a homeowner would: trade and town in the first line, phone number on the first screen, license and reviews before you scroll.
- A price before the call. Companies that publish a number usually publish their process too. Companies that require a call for a number are optimizing for the call, not for your afternoon.
- Who owns what on launch day. The domain, the hosting, the content, the Google Business Profile, the tracking number. Get it in writing before you sign, not after. Most of this list doesn't say.
That's also the order a homeowner checks you in. Proof you've done this exact job, proof you're licensed and insured, a way to reach a human. Any agency that can't show you those three on a contractor site they built is asking you to be the test case.
The List
1. Your Local Site Design (⭐ Recommended for most single-location contractors and remodelers)
Based in Parker, Colorado, we build for contractors who sell the big ticket: general contractors, remodelers, custom builders, concrete, excavation, decks and fences. The price is published rather than quoted after a call: $1,500 to $6,500 one time, with most contractors landing near $3,500, and month to month after that with no annual contract. Two weeks from the day we have your photos and job list. The builds are real and named, Legacy Concrete in Aurora and T Cross Excavation in metro Denver among them, and every account, domain, hosting, Google Business Profile and tracking number, is registered in your name on day one. The proof is the same kind shown on every page of this site: call counts pulled straight from a client's own Google Business Profile, 22 to 36 calls in a month for an electrician in Highlands Ranch, 26 to 41 for a tree service in Castle Rock, not a self-reported percentage.
Where we don't fit: a remodeler doing $3 million a year who wants paid ads, SEO and a dedicated account team on a $5,000 to $8,000 a month retainer is better matched by Hook Agency or Builder Funnel below, both built for exactly that. For a contractor who wants the site, the page-per-job structure and the ranking plan from one person who answers the phone, that's the gap this fills.
2. Contractor Gorilla
The deepest named contractor portfolio on this list by a wide margin. Contractor Gorilla has worked exclusively with contractors and trades since 2008, and its "Our Work" page names 46 sites, more than twenty of them construction, remodeling or home-building companies: South Central General Contractors, Caliber Construction & Remodeling, Peters Custom Homes, Gannon Building & Remodeling, Mountain Peak Home Remodeling, Steel Craft Builders and on down the list. Homepage testimonials add two with towns, Tellus Design Build in Santa Barbara and Madrona Log Homes in Seattle. No pricing is published ("contact us for pricing"), smaller 1 to 5 page sites run four to six weeks, and nothing on the fetched pages says who owns the site afterward. Worth a direct note: the homepage claims "254% Avg. Client Growth" with no metric, baseline or timeframe attached, and "3,827+" contractors served against 46 named sites. The 46 are the proof. The 3,827 is a number.
3. Builder Funnel
The narrowest specialist here: "only builders and remodelers," for 16 years, headquartered in Colorado Springs. It's also one of the few that publishes pricing, and the pricing is the point. The platform build (they call it UDMS) runs $15,000 for Build or $25,500 for Showcase, technology starts at $540 a month, and ongoing retainers are $3,500, $5,000 or $7,500 a month, with ad spend separate and the FAQ describing a 12-month recurring contract. Eighteen named remodelers and builders sit on the testimonial wall, Jackson Design and Remodeling, Wolfe Homes, Zenith Design + Build, Exodus Design Build among them. Worth a direct note: the case studies page lists 65 studies and not one names the client. Results like "$1.56M in closed revenue" belong to "a remodeler" with no name attached, so you're trusting the agency's arithmetic rather than checking it. Who owns the website isn't addressed on the homepage, pricing page or FAQ.
4. Hook Agency
A Minneapolis home-services agency, 200+ contractors served, 175+ Google reviews, with a dedicated remodeling web design page and real published pricing: a Standard Website at $12,000 or a Custom Website at $24,000, each split over 12 months and, in their words, "only available when paired w/ a recurring service." Most clients invest $5,000 to $8,000 a month across search, ads and the site, and the pricing FAQ says the best fit is a business doing $3 million to $15 million. On ownership, the pricing page says "You own your website 100%," though the standard build sits on a Hook code base and Hook's hosting with no stated terms for what happens when you leave. Two construction clients are named, Northface Construction and Courtney Construction, neither with a town or a result. Worth noting: the remodeling web design page's FAQ answers questions about "roofing needs," copy carried over from a sister trade page.
5. Footbridge Media
The cheapest published number on the list and the most honest about what it is: $249 a month, no contract, website included, 90-day money-back, from a Pensacola shop that has worked only with home service businesses since 2004 and says it's trusted by over 2,000 contractors. The homepage FAQ says they don't hold your site hostage if you cancel, and the FAQ page spells out exactly what that means: you get your site files and your domain stays yours, but "Review Management System, the Footbridge Dashboard, web forms, CMS, web hosting, and more" stop working without the subscription. So you walk away with HTML, not a working site. The named clients are a pressure washer, an HVAC company and an electrician; no general contractor or remodeler is shown on the pages we could reach.
6. Blue Corona / RYNO Strategic Solutions
A Gaithersburg, Maryland agency founded in 2008 and now merged into RYNO, with the clearest ownership language anywhere on this list: "You own your website outright. The design, code, content, login credentials," and on the remodelers page, "Once it's built, it's 100% yours." The named results are strong and specific, $34 million in digital-driven revenue for Penguin Air, Plumbing & Electrical in Phoenix, a 77:1 SEO return for American Vintage Home in Chicago's North Shore. Worth a direct note, though: those are HVAC and plumbing companies. The dedicated remodeler web design page names zero remodelers, and its own contact form's industry dropdown offers HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Garage Doors, Restoration, Roofing, Solar and Other, with no "Remodeling" option. The only remodeling figure is a generic "100% to 500%" improvement between an old site and a new one, no client, no timeframe. No pricing is published.
7. Scorpion
The largest operation here, 25+ years, 4.7 stars across 350+ reviews, built for established brands, franchises and private-equity-backed platforms, claiming $3 billion in attributed client revenue. There's a general contractors page, and it names nine clients, every one an HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pest or mold company, no general contractor among them. No pricing ("the investment you decide to make depends on your business goals"), and the terms are the strictest on the list: a 12-month contract for the technology and SEO, and on ownership, in their words, "you own your website after the length of your contract with Scorpion is complete. While you won't own the underlying system." Their exit FAQ adds that a departing client "will need to work with another vendor to rebuild your website on a content management system of your choosing." Your domain, content and imagery are yours; the site itself is not portable.
Also Worth a Look
Three more with real contractor work behind them, lighter detail here because the public information is thinner or the fit is narrower:
8. Slamdot
A Knoxville agency building since 2005, 484 reviews, with a dedicated remodeling page and the second-deepest named remodeler list here: JB Custom Remodeling in Northern Virginia, Modern Bath in Knoxville, Prime Renovations, Champion Kitchens and Baths, G.E.S. Custom Remodel. No pricing published. The web design section is headed "No Long-Term Contracts," while marketing campaigns run on six-month terms and ownership is described as being "free to take anything we create after the initial term."
9. Red Spot Design
A Dallas generalist with 20+ years, 413 Google reviews at 5.0, a BBB A+ and three named builders: Steve & Trey Watson Custom Homes in Argyle, Texas, Century Custom Homes and Dean Construction. WordPress and Elementor builds, no flat rate ("we don't offer a flat rate"), and no traffic or lead figures published for any web project. Worth noting: the homepage sells "SEO-Optimized Websites" while the FAQ says SEO is not automatically included and is an add-on. Ownership isn't addressed.
10. Builder Designs
Olathe, Kansas, since 2008, and home builders only: 438 builder websites, 20,871 active homes displayed, with Mungo Homes (South Carolina through Virginia) as the featured build. This is a production-builder vendor, communities, floor plans, lot maps, with a lower-cost pre-built option called Bluprint. No pricing, no ownership statement. If you build twenty homes a year in three communities, it's purpose-built for you. If you remodel kitchens, it isn't.
How To Actually Choose
That split is the one to settle before anything else, because it's the one you can't fix later. Four of ten say the site is yours from day one, and two of those four come with strings: Hook's site runs on Hook's hosting with no exit terms stated, and Footbridge hands you files that no longer have a working CMS or form behind them. Two make you finish a contract first. Four don't say, which isn't a red flag on its own, but it is a question you have to ask out loud, and the answer belongs in the contract, not in an email.
Past that, the honest tradeoff is specialization against proof. Builder Funnel and Blue Corona know this industry and say so on dedicated pages, but one won't name a case study client and the other names no remodelers at all. Contractor Gorilla and Slamdot show you dozens of named contractor sites you can open right now, but neither publishes a price or an ownership term. Ask every company on this list for all three before you sign: a live contractor site with the company named, a number, and a sentence about who owns what on launch day.
If you want to see what that looks like before deciding anything, the contractor website design page has the full page map, the photo shot list, the monthly scoreboard and the real builds behind it, and the $47 teardown shows exactly where your own site stands against the three contractors outranking you, free either way.
