Addition of mud room to existing residence.
Builders order windows weeks before they need them. If you're not quoting during framing, you've missed it.

Every window company chases the same homeowners. New construction has fewer bidders.
Only building permits young enough that windows aren't ordered yet.
Additions are especially good: small remodelers need a window and door package and rarely have a rep.

No. A replacement permit means someone already sold the windows. We send new construction and additions where nobody has.
Windows are ordered early so they arrive at dry-in. Older jobs have almost always ordered already.
The builder or remodeler who pulled the building permit, with their phone when the city lists it.
Every lead comes straight from a permit the city issued, checked against every sub-permit on the same job, so we know who's already named. The "why" line tells you exactly which rule made it a lead. The job value and contractor phone are whatever the city recorded; when the city left them blank, so do we.
No phone numbers. Most leads are the contractor running the job, with their phone when the city lists it, which is most of the time. For work that follows a job, like a fence after a new pool, you get the owner of record and their mailing address from the Travis Central Appraisal District's public tax roll, ready for a mailer, plus whether they live there and when they bought. Owners who've had the appraisal district keep their records confidential are never included.
Most lists sort permits by the trade on the permit, so a roofer gets a list of roofs other roofers already sold. We sort by the trades the job still needs. We check every sub-permit filed for the job so we never send you one where your trade is already named, and every lead says in one line why it's yours.
Yes. Building permits and the appraisal roll are public records, and calling a contractor about work on their job is ordinary business. Owner records are for mail outreach only, which you agree to in our terms, and we remove any owner who asks. You're responsible for following do-not-call and anti-solicitation rules where they apply.
