Get Local Refinishing Leads Instead of Replacing It
LeadHunter USA is a local Facebook group monitoring app for refinishing and resurfacing pros. It alerts you when homeowners in your area are asking for help with cabinet refinishing, bathtub and tile reglazing, countertop resurfacing, hardwood floors, and deck restoration.
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.

The kind of jobs refinishing and resurfacing pros miss every week
Almost every one of these starts as a comparison — somebody pricing a replacement and hoping there is a cheaper way to get the same result.
Examples written in the style of real neighborhood posts. Names and details are made up.
Cabinets are dated but solid
"Kitchen is fine structurally, just ugly. Is refinishing actually cheaper than new cabinets?"

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.

You are the answer to a question people ask before they ask for you
Nobody wakes up wanting their bathtub reglazed. They want a bathroom that does not look like 1974, they price replacing it, they wince, and then they ask whether there is another way. The post that starts this trade is almost never a request for refinishing — it is somebody comparing the cost of a replacement and hoping to be told there is a cheaper route to the same result.
Which means half the job is being the one who tells them. A homeowner who does not know reglazing exists cannot search for it, and the platforms that sell contractor leads by category cannot sell them to you, because the homeowner never picked the category. That is also why there is no published cost per lead for this work in datasets that price plumbing at $66 and roofing at $101.
The timing runs on other people’s deadlines. Listings before a sale, holidays before family arrive, a rental between tenants — every one of those is a fixed date somebody is working backwards from, and being early enough to be considered matters more than being cheapest.
There is no published cost-per-lead figure for refinishing 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 refinishing 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 refinishing businesses?+
This page is built for refinishing and resurfacing 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 refinishing 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 refinishing and resurfacing pros?+
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.
