100 exclusive sales appointment opportunities in 100 days or less — or you get every dollar of your management fee refunded, plus $2,000 cash. In writing. One patio cover contractor per market.
More Job Calls builds done-for-you marketing systems for patio cover and shade structure contractors selling $15K–$60K residential projects. Meta ads run through a multi-step qualification funnel inside your own accounts, so every appointment belongs to your company alone — not split across a dealer network, not resold by a lead site.
It's backed by a written guarantee: 100 exclusive sales appointment opportunities in 100 days, or a full management-fee refund plus $2,000 cash. The same system took an outdoor-living contractor from roughly $400 per lead to under $30 per lead in 14 days.
Patio cover contractors have a lead problem nobody else in home improvement has: your own suppliers compete with you for the customer. A homeowner searches for an Alumawood cover or a louvered roof, lands on the manufacturer's site, fills out the form — and that inquiry gets handed to several dealers in the same network. Same product. Same brochure. The only lever left is price.
Then there's the other squeeze. In your market, some guy with a trailer is bolting together $4K kit covers, and every homeowner who's seen his yard sign walks into your estimate anchored at a number you can't touch. You're quoting an engineered $35K louvered system to someone who thinks "patio cover" means four posts and a sheet of aluminum.
Here's the thing: demand isn't your problem. In Texas, Arizona, California, and Florida, shade isn't a luxury purchase — a backyard without it is unusable five months a year. The problem is that the channels feeding you that demand either share it, resell it, or anchor it at kit prices before you ever shake a hand.
| How patio cover contractors get jobs | Exclusive? | Speed | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer co-op leads (Alumawood, Equinox, StruXure-type programs) | No — shared across the dealer network | Trickle | You bid against other dealers selling the identical product — price war by design |
| Shared lead sites (Angi, HomeAdvisor) | No — sold to 3–5 contractors | Fast | Lumped under "patio/awning" — half the inquiries want a $400 fabric repair |
| Referrals & yard signs | Yes | Seasonal | Peaks with the heat, dies in October — no way to schedule installs ahead |
| More Job Calls system | Yes — one contractor per market | First appointments typically in 7–14 days | Requires ~$3K/mo minimum ad budget and a closer to run the appointments |
This isn't "we'll run your Facebook ads." It's a six-piece operating system installed inside your business, in accounts you own:

Straight up: most of our published case studies are deck and outdoor-living companies — that's where this system was built and proven. But it's the same Sun Belt homeowner deciding on the same backyard, the same qualification funnel, and the same written guarantee. Patio and shade projects are already in the mix.
"The first week I put out almost a million dollars in quotes. It was crazy. I was hitting jobs that were $100,000, $200,000, $60,000, $80,000."— Justin Wylie, All Pro Decks & Patios, San Antonio, TX
Justin runs an outdoor-living company in San Antonio whose project mix includes patio and shade work — the exact climate and homeowner a patio cover contractor sells to every day. If your market's open, you'd be the first cover-focused contractor we lock it for.
Why does contractor marketing usually fail in the first place? The short answer is in this breakdown:
Anyone can write a guarantee. They can't copy actual calendars, pipelines, and recordings from contractors who said "this sounds too good to be true" on day one — and changed their mind because the system kept delivering.
This is built for patio cover and shade structure contractors doing roughly $1M–$3M a year, selling $15K–$60K projects, with crews installing and at least one person who can close. You'll need about $3K/month minimum in ad budget on top of management for the guarantee to apply, and the capacity to run 3–5 appointments a day when the volume hits.
If you're a one-truck kit installer, have nobody to sit appointments, or can't fund the ad budget without sweating payroll — this isn't your move yet, and we'll say so on the call instead of cashing your check.
Manufacturer co-op leads get distributed across the brand's own dealer network — the homeowner who filled out that form is hearing from other dealers selling the same product. You're competing on price against your own catalog. More Job Calls builds a lead system inside your own ad account and CRM that produces appointments exclusive to your company. One patio cover contractor per market, and you own every asset from day one.
100 exclusive sales appointment opportunities in 100 days or less — or you get every dollar of your management fee refunded, plus $2,000 cash. In writing. The refund covers the management fee paid to us; your ad budget goes directly from you to Meta and never touches our hands.
Honest answer: yes, most published case studies are decks and outdoor living — that's where the system was built. But it's the same Sun Belt homeowner, the same backyard project decision, the same qualification funnel, and the same written guarantee. Justin Wylie at All Pro Decks & Patios in San Antonio runs an outdoor-living mix that includes patio and shade projects, and the system took him from roughly $400 per lead to under $30 while he quoted six-figure jobs.
Only if your marketing looks like a kit installer's. The funnel qualifies for project scope, budget range, timing, and decision-makers before anyone reaches your calendar, and the creative positions you as the structural, engineered option — not the $4K bolt-together special. Homeowners anchored at kit pricing get filtered out before they cost you a windshield hour.
Budget roughly $6K per month all-in during the 100-day sprint — ad spend plus management combined. A minimum ad budget of about $3K/month is required for the guarantee to apply. On a $15K–$60K average ticket, one closed cover typically covers the entire sprint. Exact numbers for your market come from a free strategy call.
Summer heat is the easiest angle — in Texas, Arizona, California, and Florida, shade is a necessity, not a luxury. But the demand doesn't disappear in October; the competition does. Off-season is when cost per appointment drops, install slots are easier to promise, and homeowners plan spring projects. The system runs year-round and adjusts the angle to the season.
