How it works
Choose where you work and what jobs you want. LeadHunter keeps watch and sends the right matches to your phone.
Pick the cities and neighborhoods you actually serve, plus the nearby areas you would still drive to.
Focus on built-ins, decks, trim, doors, framing, custom woodwork, and the jobs you actually take.
When a matching homeowner request appears, your phone gets an alert so you can reach out quickly.
Lead examples
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.
"There is a weird nook in the office. Want floor-to-ceiling shelves built in to fit it properly."
"A few boards feel spongy and one railing wobbles. Repair or is it time to rebuild?"
"Want crown put up in the living and dining room. Looking for someone who does clean trim work."
"Bottom of the exterior door frame has gone soft. Needs the wood replaced, not just filled."
"Saw one on Pinterest and want something similar built in the back hallway."
"The handrail moves when you lean on it and we have small kids. Want it made solid."
Why it is different
Homeowners often ask for help once, then hire whoever makes them feel confident first. LeadHunter helps you spot local requests faster, without sitting on your phone all day.
On a marketplace like Angi, Thumbtack, or HomeAdvisor you pay for each lead and share it with the other pros who bought it. Here you pay one flat monthly price, the leads are yours alone, and there is no per-lead charge.
Built around real local homeowner language.
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.
The same neighborhood post often mentions more than one trade.
