Why I built this

Why I built this for sheet metal fabrications

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

Sheet metal shops are almost entirely

Sheet metal shops are almost entirely B2B but most marketing advice is consumer-focused — building contractor relationships requires personal introductions that paid ads can't create

Custom fabrication has no standard pricing

Custom fabrication has no standard pricing, making it invisible on aggregator platforms that require fixed pricing to list services — referral networks are the only channel that works

Sheet metal shops lose out on

Sheet metal shops lose out on commercial projects because GCs already have preferred subs — getting on bid lists requires someone on the inside making an introduction

HVAC installers, roofers, general contractors, and mechanical contractors all need sheet metal work and most don't have in-house fab capability — they need a trusted shop.

Step 3: Close Jobs

When an HVAC contractor calls your shop saying 'I've got a commercial build and my regular fab shop is backed up — can you take it on?' that relationship is worth $20,000+ a year.

The math

A worked example, not a customer story.

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

Say you run a sheet metal company in Nashville. You connect with a commercial HVAC company on LeadChuck and land a $28,000 duct fabrication contract for a restaurant build. That HVAC company now sends all custom fab work to you — 4 commercial projects a year averaging $18,000 each. Lead fees: $280. Revenue from the relationship: $72,000/year.
Your net lead cost: $40 for $18000+ in revenue. Plus $100 earned in outbound referrals.

Straight answers

Questions, answered.

Is LeadChuck useful for sheet metal shops that only do B2B work?

LeadChuck is built exactly for B2B contractor relationships. Sheet metal shops are one of the best fits because your clients are contractors — and those contractor relationships are exactly what LeadChuck facilitates.

How do I price custom fabrication work when setting referral fees?

On LeadChuck you set a single fixed lead fee for each lead — there's no negotiation and no percentage of the job.

Can I receive commercial project leads through LeadChuck?

Yes — GCs and commercial HVAC companies are active on LeadChuck specifically because they need reliable subcontractors. Commercial referrals tend to have higher lead fees but much higher job values.

What if I specialize in specific metal types or gauges?

Your profile lets you specify your capabilities in detail. Specialty fabricators often get better-matched referrals because the referring contractor knows they're sending work to someone equipped to handle it.
