I build and rank websites for contractors and remodelers across Hampton Roads
You do additions in Ghent, gut a kitchen in Olde Towne, or frame a new coastal build out toward the water, and your site should show that work like the craft it is. I build every contractor website design myself, by hand, and I run the SEO myself, so the person you hire is the person doing the work. No account manager, no template, no offshore team you never meet.
What I build and run for general contractors and remodelers
Most contractors I meet in Hampton Roads are booked on word of mouth and referrals, which is great right up until it goes quiet. Your best work, the flood zone rebuild you nailed or the second story addition in Larchmont, is buried in a phone camera roll while a slow, dated site sends homeowners to the competitor who shows up first on Google. When someone searches for a remodeler at eleven at night, the site that loads fast, shows real project photos, and makes it easy to ask for a quote is the one that gets the call. If that is not your site, you are paying for it in jobs you never hear about.
General contractor web design built to book jobs
A clean construction web design that puts your real projects, your service area, and a quote request front and center. The outcome is a homeowner who trusts you before they ever pick up the phone.
Remodeling, kitchen, and bath pages that show the before and after
A remodeling web design lives on before and after photos and a clear path to a consultation. I structure each page around the job so a search for a kitchen remodel in Ghent lands on the exact proof it needs.
Contractor SEO that puts you in the map pack
It gets you found when a homeowner searches for an addition or a bathroom remodel in your town, not three cities over. I set up your Google Business Profile, your service pages, and your local signals so you show in the map and the results below it.
SEO for contractors across every town you serve
That means a real page for each service and each city, from Norfolk to Chesapeake to Suffolk, so Google knows exactly where you work. That is how a Virginia Beach search finds your Virginia Beach page instead of a national lead broker.
Photo galleries that show the craft
Your work is the sales pitch. I build fast galleries that load in a blink on a phone, so a homeowner scrolling in bed sees the finish quality, not a spinning loader.
Quote requests and lead capture that actually reach you
Every page has a clear way to ask for an estimate, and every request lands in your inbox and on your phone right away. A lead you never see is a job you never win.
Here is the closest proof I can show you.
I have not shipped a contractor site yet, but the same build and SEO work took Blackbird Detailing, a Virginia Beach local service business, from a standing start to ranking across Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Norfolk, and it is the exact playbook I would run for your contracting business. You can see the full story on the Blackbird Detailing case study.

What ships on every contractor build
This is the baseline, not a list of upsells in a sales deck. Plain outcomes, not jargon.
Across Hampton Roads:
Hampton Roads is not one market, it is a dozen. A homeowner remodeling a 1920s foursquare in Ghent has different needs than one rebuilding after a flood in the Chesapeake tidal zone or adding square footage to a Virginia Beach new build. Google knows the difference, and so should your site. When I build a contractor's local search here, I make a real page for each town and each job, from historic renovations in Olde Towne Portsmouth to coastal construction near the water, so the person searching in your ZIP finds you and not a national outfit selling your name back to you.
What your contractor website costs
Fixed prices, quoted up front. Most small business sites land between $2,500 and $10,000. Here is where the tiers sit.
Starter
A clean, fast site for a focused business that needs to look right and get found.
Standard
More pages, service and location pages, and lead capture built in.
Full Build
Custom features like booking, a member area, or multi location.
Custom
A larger platform built around how your business actually runs.
How I work with general contractors and remodelers
Same discipline whatever you do. The pages differ, the standard does not.
Discovery and a look at who ranks
I pull the data on who currently shows up when your customers search in Hampton Roads, find the gap, and map the plan to close it.
Strategy and layout
Pages mapped to what your customers actually search and the questions they ask before they hire. You review every layout before I write a line of code.
Built by hand
I build the site myself and test it on a real phone over real cell service before you ever see it. No page builder, no bloat, fast because a slow site loses the call.
Launch, rank, and watch
I get the site live, line it up with your Google Business Profile, run the local SEO, and watch the first weeks to fix anything Google flags.
What should I look for when hiring someone to build my contractor website?
Plenty of agencies will sell you a pretty site that never shows up on Google, or lock you into a contract for work you cannot see. Here is what actually matters when you are hiring someone to build and rank a contractor site, from someone who does both by hand.
General Contractors and Remodelers FAQs
Straight answers to what owners actually ask before they hire.
How much does a contractor website cost?
Most contractor sites land between $2,500 and $10,000. A Starter site is $2,500. A Standard site with more service pages, a full project gallery, and lead capture is $5,000. A Full Build with custom features like online estimate requests starts at $10,000. I quote a fixed price up front. No hourly billing and no scope creep.
How long does it take to build?
Most builds take about four to six weeks, start to finish. That covers design, writing the copy, building every page by hand, loading your project photos, and testing on a real phone before launch. If you have a busy season coming, tell me up front and I will plan the build around it. You get 30 days of support after launch to sort out anything that comes up.
Will my site actually show up on Google?
That is the whole point. A pretty site nobody finds is a waste of money. I build every page around what homeowners in your area actually search, set up your Google Business Profile, and structure the site so Google and AI answer engines can read it. Ranking is not instant, but I build the foundation and run the SEO month to month with no contract.
Why hire a contractor web specialist instead of a general agency?
Because I know what wins a remodel or an addition. A homeowner wants to see before and after photos, your license and insurance, your service area, and an easy way to ask for an estimate. A general agency builds the same site for a florist and a framer. I only build for local service businesses, so local search and lead capture are baked in, not afterthoughts.
Can you show remodels and new construction the right way?
Yes, and it matters more in your trade than almost any other. Your galleries need to load fast and show the finish quality, from a gut kitchen in Ghent to a coastal new build near the water. I structure the site around your best work so a homeowner trusts your craft before they ever call. Good photos plus a fast phone load is what turns a search into a booked consultation.
Do you work with contractors outside Norfolk?
Yes. I am based in Norfolk and I build for contractors across all of Hampton Roads, including Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, and Newport News, plus Richmond and Roanoke. Because I live here, I know the difference between a Ghent renovation and a flood zone rebuild, and I build your site and your local pages to match the towns you actually serve.
Do you do SEO for contractors, or just build the site?
Both, and they work best together. I run contractor SEO myself, from the technical setup to the service and city pages, so a remodel or addition search in your towns finds you first. It is a retainer that starts at $750 a month, month to month, no contract, and it is separate from the fixed price build. I track your rankings weekly across the neighborhoods you actually work.
Want a straight answer on your contractor website?
I will look at what you have now and send you a plain report and a fixed quote. No contracts, month to month, and you work with me, the person doing the work.
