Marketplaces often send each request to multiple companies. The owner gets three calls before your rep finishes the first one.
Window play · Leads without Angi
Window leads without Angi: exclusive, local, and found before they shop.
Window leads from marketplaces are expensive, often shared with several installers, and usually arrive after the owner has already sat through a national brand's in-home pitch. Spur lets you choose the homes yourself by window era and neighborhood, mails a local offer under your own name, and sends every scan alert to you alone.

The problem
Window leads are costly, shared, and arrive after the big brands have pitched.
Many owners fill out a form after a national brand quoted them, so your price is compared against a number you didn't set.
Owners have sat through three-hour pitches with same-day pricing. They're wary of every window company that calls.

AI draft for Teresa N. · 9227 Laguna Springs Dr
Hi Teresa,
We're Valley Window Co., an Elk Grove company with our own install crews. We're not a lead service, and nobody else will call you because of this card.
Homes on Laguna Springs Drive were built in the early 2000s, and in a Sacramento summer, those original windows let in a lot of heat. We'll check every window for free and give you a written price that's good for 30 days. No three-hour presentation, no price that disappears when we leave.
Scan the code to book a time, or call us directly.

How to generate window leads you don't have to share
Window replacement is one of the most expensive lead categories in home improvement. Marketplaces and lead sites sell requests to multiple installers, national brands spend heavily on TV and mail, and owners who fill out a form often already have a quote in hand. The result is high cost per lead, low close rates, and constant price pressure.
Owning your lead flow starts upstream, before the owner starts shopping. Property records tell you which homes were built in the era of single-pane, aluminum, or early double-pane windows, how long the owner has lived there, and roughly how much equity they have. From that, you can build a list of owners who need windows, in the neighborhoods you want to work, and reach them first.
Mail is how you reach them. A card with your name, a clear statement that you're local and use your own crews, and a no-pressure assessment offer is an exclusive invitation. When the owner scans, only you find out. There's no bidding war, and you're the first company they talk to, not the fourth.
Position against the pitch they fear. Many owners have heard about or sat through high-pressure in-home presentations with same-day pricing. A card that promises a short visit and a written price good for 30 days answers that fear directly. The Federal Trade Commission's cooling-off rule gives buyers three days to cancel many sales made in the home; a company that doesn't pressure in the first place stands out.
Measure honestly. Track cost per signed project by list, and compare it with what you spend per signed project on marketplaces. Many companies run both for a while and shift budget as owned lists prove themselves.
Expect a longer runway and plan for it. 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.

FAQ
Window lead generation questions
How do window companies get leads without Angi?
Build your own list from property records, homes by window era, ownership, and equity, and mail a local, low-pressure offer with a QR code. Every response comes to you alone.
Why are window replacement leads so expensive?
National brands, lead sellers, and local installers all compete for the same owners, and many leads are sold to several companies at once.
How do I compete with national window brands?
Reach owners before they shop, say clearly that you're local, and promise a short visit with a written price that doesn't expire the same day.
How long does it take owned leads to convert?
Often longer than marketplace leads, sometimes months. Keep scanners on a follow-up schedule; nobody else is calling them.
