The Best Ad Types for Construction Leads: What Actually Works in 2025

Stop Wasting Money on Ads That Don’t Convert

Let’s be honest—most contractors don’t have time to figure out marketing, let alone which ad types actually bring in jobs. But if you’re running Facebook and Google Ads without a strategy, chances are you’re spending money without seeing real results.

This guide breaks down the best ad types for construction leads, so you can stop guessing and start generating qualified, local jobs consistently.

Whether you’re a builder, roofer, plumber, or remodeler, this list will help you focus your marketing dollars on what actually works.

Why Choosing the Right Ad Type Matters

Not all ads are created equal. Some get clicks but no calls. Others drive interest but attract the wrong audience (like price-shoppers or DIYers).

The right ad type:

  • Attracts ready-to-hire homeowners
  • Matches your ideal project size and location
  • Builds trust and encourages immediate action

Let’s break down the top-performing options in 2025.

1. Before & After Photo Ads (Facebook/Instagram)

These are highly visual and high-performing, especially for remodelers, painters, landscapers, and roofers.

Why it works:

  • Instantly shows transformation and results
  • Appeals to emotion and aspiration
  • Proven to get higher engagement than text-only ads

Pro tip: Use carousels to show multiple stages or time-lapses for added impact.

2. Video Walkthrough Ads

Great for:

  • Home builders
  • Renovation contractors
  • Custom projects or high-end work

Video builds instant trust. A quick walkthrough with a voiceover explaining what was done builds credibility and helps homeowners picture working with you.

Keep it under 30–60 seconds for best performance on social platforms.

3. Lead Form Ads (Facebook/Meta)

These allow users to request a quote or consultation without leaving Facebook. The form auto-fills with their contact info.

Why contractors love them:

  • Low friction for the user
  • Easy lead capture
  • Works incredibly well on mobile

Add qualifying questions like “What’s your project budget?” or “Timeline to start?” to vet leads.

4. Google Search Ads for Service Keywords

When someone searches “deck builder near me” or “kitchen renovation contractor in BC,” Google Search Ads put you at the top of the page.

Best for:

  • Contractors ready to compete for high-intent leads
  • Service-specific searches
  • Local market domination

Pair with solid landing pages and trust signals (reviews, photos) to maximize conversions.

5. Retargeting Ads (Facebook or Google)

Ever had a homeowner visit your website but never call?

Retargeting ads bring them back.

  • Show ads only to people who viewed your site or clicked your ad
  • Reinforce brand familiarity
  • Often leads to cheaper conversions

You can also offer a limited-time offer or free consultation to encourage return visits.

Reviews & Case Studies

We’re not big on hype — we'll let the results do the talking. Below are some reviews, real client stories, and a deeper dive into how we got them there.

Property Service Marketing Client Logo

Tyler Carruthers

Owner, Northwest Drainage Solutions

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"I was already fairly busy when I reached out to Aidan, but I knew if I wanted to grow, I needed to get serious about how we looked and how we got leads. He helped us lock down a clean logo, a solid website, and ad campaigns that started working right away. We sold over $60K in the first month alone. It's not just about getting leads — it’s about looking legit and having the systems in place to handle them. Working with Rega has made a big difference."

Duradek Marketing Company

Brandon Lawson

Co-Owner, Siteline Deck AnD Rail

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"We've been working with Aidan at Rega Marketing for over a year now. When we started, we had minimal branding and no real marketing plan. Aidan gave us a clear, transparent strategy — not everything all at once, but the most effective for our budget. As we grew, they helped us expand into new channels and build proper systems. Now in our second year, we’re on track to hit our first 7-figure year."

Eavestrough Marketing Agency

Tibor Okros

Owner, Forest City Eavestrough

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Before working with Aidan, we had no real ad strategy in place — just some referrals and seasonal demand. He came in, built out proper campaigns, and got us results fast. Leads started flowing almost immediately, and we’ve consistently doubled our monthly revenue since. What I like most is that it’s not just ads — it's the systems, the follow-up, and the way everything works together. Rega Marketing has been a key part of our growth."

Co-Owner, High Line Tree Service

Habitat MVI Website Builder

Trevor Coyle

CEO, Habitat For Humanity MVi

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Working with Aidan at Rega Marketing has been a great experience. He completely rebuilt our website to better reflect our mission and make it easier for people to navigate and get involved. He also connected it with our CRM, so all our form submissions now flow directly into it, which has saved us a lot of time."

Landscaping Website Builder

Bryan Ballard

Owner, Urban Oasis Landscaping

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"I reached out to Rega Marketing with no real online presence. They helped me bring everything together, from a clean, professional logo to a website that actually reflects the quality of our work. The process was straightforward and easy to follow, and the end result turned out better than I expected."
