Contractor Lead Generation in Markham — Direct Mail That Gets Calls
Markham has $290.5M capital flowing into construction, renovations, and infrastructure. Contractors who get in front of homeowners first win the work. We put your name on 250 to 2,500 doors in the exact neighbourhoods where the money is being spent.
Why Markham Contractors Need Leads NOW
Active development and infrastructure projects mean homeowners are spending:
- Downtown Markham Block 12
- 1,920 acres** greenfield employment -- largest unbuilt in GTA: **Total pipeline visibility: ~9,000+ new residential units across major applications alone.** **Source:** [NewmarketToday - 3100 units](https://www.n
- Source:** [Ontario Construction News - Markham Budget](https://ontarioconstructionnews.com/markham-approves-160-million-capital-budget-boosts-infrastructure-investment) ### 2C. Infrastructure Projects: Project
- New road connecting Markham + Richmond Hill: Completion **late 2026**
Every road reconstruction, every new subdivision, every infrastructure project triggers a wave of home renovations in the surrounding neighbourhood. Homeowners see public investment and follow with private spending. Your postcard arrives at exactly the right moment.

How many calls can I expect?
Direct mail averages 1-2% call rate for home services. On 500 doors, expect 5-10 calls. One closed job at your average ticket price pays for the campaign multiple times over.
Can I target specific Markham neighbourhoods?
Absolutely. We use Canada Post Precision Targeter to select postal walks based on housing age, income, and proximity to active construction. You approve the target areas before we print.
How fast can I get started?
Proofs in 24-48 hours. Postcards in-market within 2 weeks. Most Markham contractors have their first calls within 3 weeks of ordering.
Is this like EDDM in the US?
Same concept, Canadian execution. We use Canada Post Neighbourhood Mail — the Canadian equivalent. We handle everything: design, postal walk selection, printing, and delivery.
