Why I built this

Why I built this for carpenters

I ran a painting company for years. I know exactly how the big lead machines treat carpenters — shared leads, bidding wars, and a bill whether the job closes or not.

Price Shoppers Want Custom at Prefab Prices

Platforms don't understand the difference between a trim carpenter, a framer, and someone who assembles IKEA cabinets. They blast out "carpentry leads" to everyone.

Shared Leads Where 5 Guys Bid on $800 Jobs

You're a craftsman competing against guys with just a hammer. The platforms lump everyone together.

DIY-Gone-Wrong Rescues

People who won't admit they messed up (and won't pay to fix it right). Plus "while you're here" scope creep nightmares.

Three steps

How LeadChuck works for carpenters

No shared leads, no bidding war. You set your fee, referrals come from contractors who already vetted the job, and you only pay when you accept.

1

Set Your Price

You set one lead fee — that's what you pay for every referral that comes your way. Be competitive, but set a price you're comfortable with.

2

Get Referrals from Pros Who Know You

GCs, remodelers, and real estate agents encounter homeowners who need real carpentry work. They refer to you.

3

Close Jobs, Keep the Profit

No monthly fees on the base plan. No bidding wars. Close at your rate because the referral already carries trust.

Who sends carpenters work — and who you send work to

Every job touches more than one trade. Here's who already sends work to carpenters, and who carpenters send work to.

Who sends you leads
These trades run into your work constantly.
They handle the big picture but need specialists for custom work. Built-ins, crown molding, custom trim.
Kitchen & Bath Remodelers
After demo, someone needs to build cabinet boxes, install custom pantry, add breakfast nook bench.
"Replace that dated trim before listing." "Add built-in shelving to make the office pop."
After re-piping, there's often framing repair, cabinet modification, or access panel work.
They design the custom entertainment center. They need a carpenter to execute their vision.
Who you refer out to
Pass the work you don't do and earn a referral fee.
Every trim job, cabinet install, and built-in needs finishing.
$40–$75
Under-cabinet lighting, outlets for entertainment centers, charging stations.
$50–$85
Flooring Contractors
New subfloor before cabinets, transition strips after built-ins.
$50–$90
HVAC Technicians
Closet conversions need vents. Room additions need ducts before walls close.
$60–$100
Countertop Installers
You build the cabinet boxes and island frame. Someone else installs granite/quartz.
$65–$100
The math

A worked example, not a customer story.

Here's how a season can compound for a carpenter on LeadChuck. The numbers below are an example scenario, not a customer report.

A general contractor is framing a room addition but needs custom built-in shelving for the home office nook. He refers the homeowner to you. Lead fee: $85. You land the job: $4,200 for built-ins plus trim work. The homeowner wants kitchen cabinets too — $6,800 added. You notice the recessed lighting won't work with the new ceiling. You refer an electrician — earn $65. The homeowner needs everything painted — you refer your painter — earn $80.
Revenue: $11,000. Referral fees earned: $145. Effective marketing cost: $55 for an $11K job.

Straight answers

Questions, answered.

Do I get leads for the type of carpentry I actually do?

Yes. You set your specialties — finish carpentry, framing, cabinets, decks, whatever. You only see leads that match.

How is this different from HomeAdvisor or Thumbtack?

Those platforms sell the same lead to multiple contractors. LeadChuck leads come from contractors who specifically chose YOU. One lead, one carpenter.

What if I only do high-end custom work?

Set your lead fee at $150-200. That signals you're not competing on price. Contractors sending complex jobs will seek you out.

I mostly work with one or two GCs. Why do I need this?

LeadChuck helps you diversify. If your main GC slows down, you're not scrambling. Plus, get paid for referrals you're already making.

One platform

Leads are just the start.

Everything above, plus the growth tools I wished I'd had — all in the same account:

Email blast

Your carpenters client list is worth staying in touch with. Type a few notes, Chuck drafts a polished email, and you approve it before it ever sends.

See the email blast →

Deals email

Feature a deal in other contractors' emails and pay only when a homeowner claims it. Run the same play with your own list, and earn a share when it sends work the other way.

See how deals work →

Referral gift cards

Every client gets a permanent link to share, and a gift card says thanks the moment a friend reaches out. Happy carpenters clients are already talking — this gives them an easy way to do it.

How referrals work →

Reputation

A free public profile page for every contractor — built to support your search ranking and show real ratings from other contractors on the network.

Team incentives

Set a reward for every accepted lead your team sends in, and LeadChuck bundles it into one gift card a month — paperwork included.
