Blogging is a vital marketing tactic for design-builders and professional remodelers. Construction firms who blog can expect to receive up to 70% more website traffic compared to those that don’t. Blogging doesn’t necessarily have to be done in-house; you can hire a contractor (like us) or freelancer to write the content for you. What is critical is to post articles frequently so that people seeking your services find you online, and your target audience knows where to turn for useful renovation information.

Coming up with fresh ideas is not difficult if you think like a customer.  Knowing what concerns they have regarding the remodeling process is a good place to start. Learn what they're finding challenging and give them the information they need.
