Painting leads are cheap to buy and expensive to chase, because a painter cannot quote a job without seeing it. That is why what you get here is screened first: live transfers and booked appointments from homeowners who asked to speak with a painting contractor and were screened for project scope, timeline and budget. Every lead is exclusive to you and branded to your company. Every call is recorded, and you pay only for the qualified prospect. We hold every campaign to one standard: your marketing cost per sale needs to land at 15% or lower, or it is not working. Tell us your territory and we will check whether it is open before anything else happens.
Why You Can Trust Us
A homeowner looking for a painter is asking about price before anything else. How much would a painter charge to paint a 12 by 12 room. What does the outside of a two-story house cost. Can it be done before the party, before the listing, before winter. The answer to the first question is a few hundred dollars and the answer to the second is a few thousand, and a form that says "painting" does not tell you which one you are driving to. Painting leads are only worth paying for when someone has already asked those questions and the answers fit the jobs you want. That is what screening for scope, timeline and budget means in practice.
Here is what shared leads cost a painter. Sellers that publish prices list painting leads from about $34 for an organic call up to $104 to $313 per lead on Google Ads, and the Angi help center says a single homeowner request goes to up to five pros. So say a $4,000 exterior job, and say you buy ten shared leads at $50 each. That is $500 spent, and four other companies got the same ten names. If you win one of the ten, your marketing cost on that job is $500, which is 12.5% of the job before you count the hours spent on the other nine estimates. Win one in twenty and it is $1,000, a quarter of the job. On painting, the estimate visits are the hidden cost, and shared leads multiply them.
The 15% standard puts a ceiling on what any lead should cost you. On that same $4,000 paint job, 15% is $600. That is the most you can spend on marketing per sale and still scale. Now work it backward as an example, not a price. If you close one in four qualified live transfers, you can pay up to $150 per transfer and stay at 15%. If you close one in three, the ceiling is $200. For comparison, one seller that posts prices lists painting live transfers at about $95. The close rates above are examples for the math, not a promise, and none of these figures are our prices. The point is that a screened, exclusive call is judged on cost per sale, not cost per name.
Here is what happens when a painting lead comes to you through us. A homeowner asks to speak with a painting contractor. They are screened for project scope, timeline and budget, using your qualifications and your script, so the questions asked are the ones you would ask. The call is then transferred to you live, or the appointment is booked for you, and it carries your company name. The whole call is recorded, so you can listen to exactly what was said before the homeowner reached you. You pay only for the qualified prospect who asked to talk to you.
This is for painting contractors who can answer the phone and run the estimate when a screened homeowner is on the line. Residential interior and exterior painters, cabinet refinishers, and companies that run several crews and markets all fit. We work local service territories and national campaigns, so one metro or forty states both work. The first step is the same for everyone: a territory check, so you know whether your market is open before you commit to anything. Call 941-307-0488 or send the form with your company, trade and territory.

You bought ten painting leads. Four never answered. Three wanted one room done for less than it costs you to drive there. The two whole-house jobs had four other painters on them, and the homeowner was collecting quotes to hand to the cheapest one. You paid for all ten and painted one.
