Not a sales pitch. An honest look at what's solid in the business. Where the online reputation is quietly costing you jobs. And what it would take to fix it.
Before anything else, this matters. Burns is an established, working contractor. The problem isn't the work. It's what people find before they ever call.
Residential remodels, painting, drywall, flooring, decks. Roughly a quarter-million-plus in annual revenue. This is a real business.
A local, owner-operated outfit serving the Goddard, Clearwater, and west Wichita area. The kind of contractor neighbors actually want: small, local, accountable.
Remodel, paint, drywall, flooring, popcorn-ceiling removal, decks. West Wichita homeowners search these every week.
Most local remodelers have thin, dated web presences too. A sharp one would stand out fast in this market.
When someone types "home remodel Wichita," here's roughly who surfaces. These aren't better builders. They just show up better.
Right now, the first thing many homeowners find about Burns is a third-party listing. You don't own it, you can't shape it, and it's the first impression by default.
This is the honest part, and it's the most important. It's also the most fixable.
A homeowner about to spend $20,000 on a remodel Googles you first. They find one angry review from years ago, with no reply from you, and no website to balance it. So they quietly call the next contractor. You never even knew they were looking. That one review is costing you more than the original job ever did.
None of these are about your craftsmanship. They're all about the path from "searching" to "calling Burns."
Google "Burns Home Improvement" and a third-party listing wins. There's no burnshomeimprovement.com to show your work or take a request. The web is telling your story for you, and telling it badly.
highest costA calm, professional reply to one bad review changes how every future reader sees it. Right now there's silence, which reads as "guilty".
cheapest fix, big effectHappy customers almost never review on their own. A simple text-after-the-job ask buries the old review under fresh five-stars.
compounds monthlyA homeowner ready to book has to find a phone number and hope you answer. A simple "tell us about your project" form captures them at the exact moment they're ready.
leaks warm leadsRemodeling sells on proof: the kitchen before, the kitchen after. Those photos are the single most persuasive thing a contractor owns, and right now they're sitting on a phone instead of closing jobs.
