Get Local Carpenter Leads From People Who Describe the Job
LeadHunter USA is a local Facebook group monitoring app for carpenters. It alerts you when homeowners in your area are asking for help with built-ins and shelving, decks and pergolas, trim and crown, doors, framing, and custom woodwork.
LeadHunter USA sends each alert as a push notification to your own phone, on iOS or Android. LeadHunter USA costs $75 a month flat, whether you watch three local groups or thirty. LeadHunter USA is read-only: it never posts, comments or messages anyone, on anyone’s behalf.

Lead examples
The kind of jobs carpenters miss every week
Carpentry requests are descriptions, not categories — somebody explaining the thing they want built, usually with a photo and no idea what trade to ask for.
Examples written in the style of real neighborhood posts. Names and details are made up.
Want shelves built into the alcove
"There is a weird nook in the office. Want floor-to-ceiling shelves built in to fit it properly."

Why it is different
You are not buying old leads from a marketplace
Homeowners often ask for help once, then hire whoever makes them feel confident first. LeadHunter USA helps you spot local requests faster, without sitting on your phone all day.
LeadHunter USA is not a lead marketplace. You pay one flat monthly price for the software, we do not sell leads at all, and there is no per-lead charge.

Nobody posts asking for a carpenter
Homeowners do not have a mental category called "carpenter". They have a thing they want built. The post is a photo of an awkward alcove with "does anyone know someone who could build shelves to fit this", and the word carpenter appears nowhere in it. Neither does joiner, finish carpenter, or any other term a directory would sort by.
That is why carpentry is largely absent from the lead marketplaces, and why it has no published cost per lead in the datasets that price plumbing at $66 and roofing at $101. It is not that the work is rare or cheap — a set of built-ins or a deck rebuild is a serious job. It is that the request does not fit the shape those platforms sell, so it never enters them.
It goes into a neighborhood group instead, and it sits there. These are not urgent, which cuts both ways: nobody is racing you for it, but the homeowner also loses interest, and the difference between a job and an idea is often that somebody replied within the day with a sensible question about the photo.
There is no published cost-per-lead figure for carpenter work. You can see what a lead costs in the 21 trades that are measured — roofing runs $101.15, landscaping $29.05 — for a sense of what the trades either side of yours are paying.
Work that lands beside carpenter jobs
The same neighborhood post often mentions more than one trade.
Questions
Straight answers before you try it
Do I need a credit card to start?+
No. LeadHunter USA offers a 7-day free trial and does not ask for a credit card to start it. Nothing is charged unless a plan is chosen at the end of the trial.
Is this only for carpenter businesses?+
This page is built for carpenters and finish-carpentry pros, but LeadHunter USA also supports other local service trades. You choose your profession and job filters during setup.
Where do the leads come from?+
LeadHunter USA watches the local Facebook groups you have already joined: town, neighborhood and HOA groups. It checks each post against your carpenter job types before anything is sent. A matching request arrives as a push notification on your own phone, in seconds to minutes.
Will this get my Facebook account banned?+
LeadHunter USA runs on your own computer, not on our servers, and it only reads. It never posts, comments, likes or messages, and it never contacts a homeowner for you. You sign in to Facebook yourself, so we never see your password, and there are no bot accounts of ours sitting in your groups — it sees what you would see if you scrolled the feed yourself, on the machine you already use. Nobody can guarantee what a platform will do, and any vendor who gives you a guarantee is overselling, but read-only on your own login on your own computer is the least exposed way this can work.
Do I have to leave my computer on?+
Yes. The LeadHunter USA desktop app is the part that does the watching, and it needs to be running. It installs on Windows or Mac, runs quietly in the background while you work, and pushes matches to your phone — there are no tabs to keep open. If the computer sleeps, the watching stops until it wakes. The phone app is where you read the leads, not where they are found.
What if I am not in many local Facebook groups yet?+
Then there is not much to watch, and that is the honest limit of how LeadHunter USA works — it sees your groups, not everybody’s. Most people fix it in ten minutes by joining the neighborhood groups for the areas they already work in. Those are where "anyone know a good plumber?" actually gets posted, and being a member of a few of the right local ones beats being in twenty broad ones.
Are there lead limits?+
No. LeadHunter USA charges $75 a month flat and includes every matching lead it finds, with no per-lead fee and no cap. The same $75 applies whether you watch three local groups or thirty.
How does LeadHunter USA compare with Groups Watcher, HuddleWatch or One Stop Social for carpenters?+
What Groups Watcher, HuddleWatch and One Stop Social say about their own products, in their own words and checked daily, is at leadhunterusa.com/lead-alert-tools-compared. LeadHunter USA covers local Facebook groups, sends each match as a push notification to your phone, runs in its own app rather than your browser, and charges $75 a month flat with no limit on groups.
How is this different from Angi or Thumbtack?+
Different model. LeadHunter USA does not sell leads and is not a lead marketplace. LeadHunter USA charges $75 a month for software that watches the groups you have already joined, with no per-lead charge. The post itself is public to that group, so being early is the advantage rather than ownership.
