Social Media Marketing for Contractors in Lombard, IL
Lombard Homeowners Are
Watching Before
They Call
Social media for Lombard contractors is one piece of our full marketing solution at $2,500 a month, and it is not a service we offer by itself. We build your profiles on the major platforms and keep them posting with the decks, patios, fences and kitchens you finish around the village, so the work speaks for you between jobs.
The website got them interested, your posts close it
A DuPage County owner pricing a paver patio does not stop at your homepage. They scroll your most recent posts to see whether the crew is working this month and whether the finished jobs resemble the one they want.
Stale posts cost estimates
A contractor whose last post went up in March reads as a contractor who may not pick up the phone in October. Owners here in houses worth around $336,000 are cautious with that kind of money, and a dormant page gives them a reason to call the next name on their list.
We publish on a schedule →Fifty-year-old houses, fresh projects
The median Lombard house dates to 1971, which means the first-generation deck, the poured concrete patio and the chain-link fence have reached the end of their useful life. Each one you replace is a project the neighbors recognize, and we turn those into posts that name the trade and the village.
We turn jobs into posts →Careful money, careful buyers
A household earning about $100,000 a year can afford a composite deck or a finished basement, but not carelessly. They pick a contractor slowly, with several names and a close read of the details. Posts showing the crew and the finished edge of a patio answer questions otherwise saved for the first call.
We answer questions with photos →The replies stay yours
Our part is the setup and the steady stream of posts. When a homeowner writes under one asking what a fence like that runs, or messages about a basement, the answer comes from you, because they want the person who will show up with the crew, not an agency in Des Plaines.
We write it, you answer it →Finished jobs turned into a steady presence

The Lombard replacement cycle, post by post
This DuPage County village is home to about 44,000 people, and roughly 71 percent of its households own the house they live in. The median home is worth around $336,000 and the median household earns about $100,000 a year, which puts the typical project in the range where an owner spends a few weeks looking. Part of that looking happens on social platforms, where a contractor’s recent posts either confirm what the website promised or quietly undo it. We make sure that second check lands in your favor.
Most houses here went up around 1971. A deck from that era is overdue for replacement, the concrete patio has heaved along its joints, and the kitchen still has the soffit over the cabinets. Those are the projects a contractor in the village completes week after week, and every one of them is a post: the tear-out, the crew mid-pour, the finished composite surface with the new railing. We caption each with the trade and the town, so the post does the reassuring for you.
The village is about 13 miles from our Des Plaines office, straight-line, close enough that when a crew wraps a patio on a Thursday we can be there with a camera before the furniture goes back out. That matters because a contractor’s own phone photos, shot in a hurry at dusk, are the usual reason a page goes quiet. We take the camera problem off your list.

Social Media in Lombard:
Common Questions
What should a Lombard remodeler or deck builder post?
The jobs you finished, in the order you finish them. For a house from 1971 that means the deck tear-out and the composite rebuild, the paver patio going in where the cracked slab was, the kitchen with the soffit gone and the cabinets to the ceiling. Add the review the customer left and a line naming the trade and the village. That covers most of the calendar without inventing anything.
Do social posts help a Lombard contractor rank on Google?
Not directly, and we do not pretend otherwise. Posts do not move your map pack position on their own. What they do is back up the rest of the plan: a homeowner who finds you in search, opens your profile and sees current projects in the village is far more likely to send the estimate request than one who finds a page last touched in winter. Social confirms, search finds.
Who takes the photos if my crew is too busy to stop?
We do, when the schedule allows, since our office is only about 13 miles off. For the rest, we give your crew a short list: one shot before demolition, one at the stage where the structure shows, one of the finished work in daylight from the angle a neighbor would see it. Three photos per job, taken on a phone, give us everything a post needs.
