Lead sites often send each request to multiple companies. The owner gets four calls and four quotes, and picks the lowest.

Siding leads without Angi: exclusive, local, and found before they shop.
Siding leads from marketplaces cost a lot, often go to several contractors, and turn a $15,000 decision into a race to the lowest bid. Spur lets you choose the homes yourself by siding age, equity, and neighborhood, mails a local offer under your own name, and sends every scan alert to you alone.

The problem
Siding leads are costly, shared, and built for price shopping.
Owners have heard about crews who take a deposit and disappear. Every unfamiliar siding company starts with low trust.
By the time someone fills out a form, they've already started collecting bids and have a number in mind.

AI draft for Carol W. · 118 Indian Lake Rd
Hi Carol,
We're Cumberland Siding Co., a Hendersonville company with our own install crews and a shop you can visit. We're not a lead service, and nobody else will call you because of this card.
Homes on Indian Lake Road were built in the mid-1990s, and a lot of the original vinyl is fading and cracking by now. Scan the code to see photos of jobs we've done on streets near you.
We'll walk your house for free and leave a written price that's good for 30 days. No deposit until your materials are ordered, and no pressure to sign that day.

How to generate siding leads you don't have to share
Siding is a high-ticket, low-frequency purchase, which makes it attractive to lead sellers and expensive for contractors. Marketplace leads are often sold to several companies, owners collect multiple bids, and the job goes to whoever is cheapest or fastest to call. Storm work adds another layer: traveling crews flood hail zones, and their reputation makes owners wary of every siding company.
Owning your lead flow starts upstream. Property records tell you which homes were built in the era of builder-grade vinyl or hardboard, how long the owner has lived there, and roughly how much equity they have. That's enough to build a list of owners whose siding is aging out and who can afford to replace it, in the neighborhoods you want to work.
Mail is the most direct way to reach them first. A card with your name, a clear statement that you're local with your own crews, and photos of nearby work is an exclusive invitation. When the owner scans, only you find out. There's no bidding war at the start, because you're the only one in the conversation.
Earn trust explicitly. Owners worry about deposits taken by crews who never come back. Say on the card that you're local, how long you've been in business, and how deposits work. A written price that's good for 30 days sets you apart from high-pressure sales.
Measure honestly. Track cost per signed job by list, and compare it with what you spend per signed job on marketplaces. Many contractors run both for a while and shift budget as owned lists prove themselves.
Plan for the long tail. Owned leads often scan months before they buy. Keep everyone who scanned on a light follow-up schedule and re-mail the list each season. Those leads don't expire, and nobody else is calling them.
Pair it with your neighborhood work. Every job you finish from an owned lead is a chance to mail its neighbors, and those neighbor cards tend to convert better than cold lists. Over a season or two, owned leads and neighbor mail feed each other, and the share of work you pay a marketplace for keeps shrinking.
A job you didn't share pays for years of Spur.
- Spur Team: $49/mo billed annually = $588/yr
- 800 postcards on Team at $0.94 each = $752
- 2 siding jobs at ~$15,000 ≈ $30,000, with no lead fees

FAQ
Siding lead generation questions
How do siding contractors get leads without Angi?
Build your own list from property records, homes by siding era, ownership, and equity, and mail a local offer with nearby work and a QR code. Every response comes to you alone.
Why are siding leads so expensive?
Siding jobs are large and infrequent, so lead sellers price them high, and many leads are sold to several contractors at once.
How do I compete with storm chasers?
Be visibly local: your address, how long you've been in business, nearby jobs, and a clear deposit policy. Owners are looking for exactly that.
How long do owned siding leads take to convert?
Often longer than marketplace leads, sometimes a season or two. Keep scanners on a follow-up schedule; nobody else is calling them.
