Contractor Lead Generation Ontario — Exclusive Leads via Direct Mail
Stop fighting over shared leads on HomeStars, Bark, and Thumbtack. Every lead you buy from those platforms goes to 3-5 competing contractors simultaneously. You're paying for a chance to bid, not for a customer.
We do it differently. Our direct mail lead generation puts your flyer — and only yours — in homeowners' mailboxes. No bidding wars. No commission splits. No race to the bottom on price.
Exclusive Leads by Trade
We generate exclusive leads for Ontario contractors in every major trade:
- HVAC Contractors — Furnace, AC, heat pump leads
- Roofing Contractors — Shingle replacement, flat roof, repair leads
- Plumbing Contractors — Emergency, renovation, and maintenance leads
- Landscaping Contractors — Design, maintenance, hardscape leads
- Electrical Contractors — Panel upgrade, EV charger, renovation leads
- Painting Contractors — Interior, exterior, commercial painting leads
- Fence Contractors — Cedar, vinyl, chain-link installation leads
- Concrete Contractors — Driveway, walkway, foundation leads
- Cleaning Companies — Residential cleaning recurring client leads
- General Contractors — Renovation, addition, basement finish leads

FAQ
How is this different from HomeStars?
HomeStars sells each lead to 3-5 contractors. You're paying $25-$75 to COMPETE for a job. Our direct mail delivers YOUR flyer exclusively — no other contractor in the mailbox. You're paying for attention, not a bidding war.
What response rate should I expect?
Industry data shows 1-3% response rates for contractor direct mail in Canada. From 500 doors, expect 5-15 inquiries. Higher-ticket trades (roofing, HVAC, GC) see lower volume but higher value per lead.
Do I need to design my own flyer?
No — professional design is included in every package. We create full-colour, trade-specific flyers using your branding and photos. 10 industry templates ready to customize.
Can I choose exactly which streets to target?
Yes. Canada Post Neighbourhood Mail lets you target by postal code, carrier route, or custom area. We help you identify the highest-value neighbourhoods for your trade.
