Luis was doing about $38,000 a month and wanted to break a million for the year. He’d been paying for Yelp ads and Facebook ads and shut both off. Not because ads didn’t work, but because he couldn’t stand how his own videos looked next to his competitors’. He filmed them himself, between jobs, and he knew it showed.

He’d been pitched by marketing companies before and expected to get under-delivered to again. So we didn’t touch his budget. We rebuilt how he talks about the work, wrote the scripts, and filmed him on his own jobsites so the ads finally matched the quality of the jobs he was already delivering. First shoot day was two weeks after our first call.

$636 in ad spend turned into $95,000 in new revenue in one month. His calendar went from booked out 2 weeks to booked out a month and a half. In his words: “I bought a new truck and hired a full crew of 3.” He scaled to roughly $185,000 a month, well on his way to passing his $1M year.

The Ad We Ran

Jacob and his partner already had an agency running their campaigns. Leads were coming in, but they were making the same generic remodeling pitch as every other contractor in the Bay Area. They knew they had nothing that made a homeowner pick them over the next quote.

Their real worry wasn’t the ads, it was the switch. They’d seen contractors get burned and didn’t want to lose lead flow mid-transition. So we left their existing campaigns running and didn’t take Meta access until the new creative was ready to go. We built the offer and the angle around high-ticket remodels instead of general contracting, then filmed on site. From there we read what the market gave back and pushed budget into what was producing.

Their first $75,000 remodel closed in week 3. Across five months, about $25,000 in ad spend turned into over $1,000,000 in managed projects from Meta alone.

The Ad We Ran

Clarity Construction was working with an agency optimizing for the cheapest cost per lead possible. On a business where the average project runs around $50,000, cheap leads are the wrong strategy, and the offer was a discount offer that sounded like every other remodeler in the Bay Area.

We rebuilt the offer around a design consultation for high-ticket remodels rather than general contracting. We filmed on site at real projects and allocated budget toward the winning angles that were actually bringing in homeowners with real scope, not the bargain hunters looking for discount work.

One kitchen and bath remodel signed at $249,540. That lead came in on June 3rd against $4,802.94 of ad spend to that point, a 52x return on the spend that produced it. Across the full campaign, $38,025.66 in ad spend booked 33 qualified design consultations, on projects ranging from $25,000 to $370,000.

The Apex Growth Engine

We Don't Sell You Leads.
We Build the Whole Machine.

Three pillars. Each one exists to put checked, ready-to-build homeowners in front of your estimators, and nobody else.

01

Build

We start with the research most agencies skip: what homeowners in your area actually want, the words they use for it, what your competitors charge, and where the gaps are. Then we audit your offer and your sales process to find what’s leaking. You get a strategy built for your business, not a template.

02

Launch

We film real video ads on your real jobsites, with you or your team as the face. No stock footage and no interest targeting, the creative does the work of finding your buyer. Behind the ads we install the selling system: a qualifying application, instant follow-up, then emails and videos that pre-sell your value before the first call.

03

Tune

Every week we show you exactly where the money leaks: follow-up speed, booking rate, lead quality, and what happened to every lead after it came in. We report won revenue and cost per booked consultation, not lead counts. Then we cut what’s losing and scale what’s winning so the results compound. That’s the kaizen part.

Is This For You?

We're Not for Everyone.
And That's on Purpose.

This is for you if
  • You’ve run Facebook or Instagram ads before but never saw real ROI
  • You do at least $1M a year and your average job is $10k or more
  • You or someone on your team can commit to calling every new lead within 5 minutes and following up consistently during business hours
  • You’ve gotten leads before, but they were unqualified, price shoppers, or ghosted you
  • You’re ready to invest in a system that actually scales, not another agency that overpromises
This isn’t for you if
  • You’ve never run a paid ad and want to test the waters with a small budget first
  • You’re thinking about scaling instead of actively growing
  • The investment feels too risky for your business right now
  • Your business isn’t set up to handle increased volume
  • You’re looking for the cheapest option, not the best outcome

Right Now, You're Running
on Referrals and Hope.

You finish a job and immediately start wondering where the next one is coming from. Some months are great. Other months the phone goes quiet and you're not sure why.

You've probably tried something before: boosted posts, Google ads, maybe even another agency. You got leads that ghosted, tire-kickers who wasted your time, or a bill with nothing to show for it.

Your work is good. Your homeowners refer you. But you can't figure out how to turn that into consistent, predictable new business without grinding for every single job.

The contractors scaling in the Bay Area right now aren't better at their trade than you. They just have a system running in the background putting qualified homeowners on their calendar every week.

That system is the Apex Growth Engine. We build it for you.

The Real Problem

Why Most Bay Area
Contractors Stay Stuck

It's not because you do bad work. It's because you don't have a system that brings in new business independent of your effort.

01
Your competitors are already running ads
While you wait, other contractors in the Bay Area are capturing every qualified lead on Meta right now. The longer you wait, the more market share they lock up.
02
You're losing jobs you don't even know about
People in your area searching for your service are hiring someone. Without a system in front of them, those calls go to someone else every single day.
03
Referrals won't scale a business
Referrals are great until they dry up. You can't predict them, you can't accelerate them, and you can't build a growth plan around them. You need a lever you actually control.
04
Your leads go cold before anyone calls
Most contractors don't have a real system for leads from paid ads. Nobody owns the first call, follow-up happens when someone remembers, and a homeowner who reached out today has signed with a competitor by the time you get back to them. Speed and consistency close more jobs than any ad ever will.
Honest Question

What Happens If
You Do Nothing?

Where will your business be in 6 months if nothing changes?

Every week you wait, someone else books those jobs.
People in your area searching for your service right now are hiring someone. The only question is whether it's you or the competitor down the road who's already running ads.
Slow months don't fix themselves.
If you've been stuck in the same revenue range for a while, that's not bad luck. That's what happens when you don't have a system generating new leads every single day.
You can't grow a business on hope.
Hoping for referrals, hoping the phone rings, hoping someone finds your website. That's not a strategy. A real system means you wake up knowing exactly where your next job is coming from.

Who's Behind This

From self-driving cars
to your phone screen.

I spent over a decade in IT at Bay Area companies, including names like Uber and Cruise (RIP), keeping the systems behind the business running and improving them through constant iteration. That obsession with process is why this agency is called Kaizen Studio. Continuous improvement isn't a tagline. It's how I was trained to think.

I started Kaizen Studio because I watched great local residential contractors get burned by out-of-state agencies that don't understand this market. The Bay Area is its own world. One neighborhood to the next is a different buyer. Piedmont is different from East Oakland. Redwood City is not like Atherton or Woodside. That's the gap I close: a system built for this market, run by someone who actually lives in it.

FAQ

Got Questions?

If ads didn’t work for you before, it’s almost always one of three things: the offer, the messaging, or how fast leads get a call back. Once we sit down together we’ll figure out which one tripped you up so we don’t repeat it.
Roofers, auto shops, med spas, remodelers, dealerships, and more. The fundamentals are the same. Find the right people, show them you can solve their problem, give them a clear reason to reach out, and make sure your team picks up the phone. We’ll tailor the playbook to your service on our call.
You shouldn’t be managing the ads. That’s our job. Most clients spend about 30 minutes a week just staying in the loop. Everything else is on our side. There are only 2 things you and your team are responsible for: fast, consistent, persistent lead follow-up, and keeping your pipeline updated so we can track everything on our end.
Week 1 after launch is the learning phase. Week 2 the lead flow starts to settle in. Weeks 3 and 4 we optimize and scale what’s working. On average the first qualified leads come in within a few days of going live.
Lead quality is on us. If we’re sending you tire kickers, that’s our problem to fix. Closing them is on you. On our first call we’ll walk through your sales process together so we both know what’s working before we even hit launch.
A lot of agencies set it and forget it. We track everything, test constantly, and tell you the truth when something isn’t working. The strategy we’d run for you is the same one I run on my own business every month.
