We build complete video ad systems that turn scroll‑stopping creative into booked jobs, so you control your growth instead of hoping the phone rings.
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.
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.
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.
Three pillars. Each one exists to put checked, ready-to-build homeowners in front of your estimators, and nobody else.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Where will your business be in 6 months if nothing changes?
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.
