Painting leads: cost questions, answered
How much do painting leads cost in 2026?
Shared painting leads from marketplaces like Angi, HomeAdvisor, and Thumbtack typically run $15 to $100+ per lead, and the same lead is often sold to 3–5 competing contractors. Exclusive painting leads (sold to only one contractor) cost more per lead but convert far better. BellAveGo delivers exclusive painting leads at a flat $29/week for 10 leads — about $2.90 per lead, never shared, one contractor per zip.
Why are shared leads cheaper but worse?
A shared lead is sold to multiple contractors, so you're racing 3–5 others to the phone and competing on price the moment you call. Exclusive leads go to one contractor only — you're the single person that homeowner hears from, which is why exclusive leads close at a much higher rate even though the per-lead price looks higher.
What makes BellAveGo painting leads different?
BellAveGo pulls homeowners from public city records — code violations, permits, and repair orders — where the city has legally required the work. Peeling paint, graffiti, and exterior-surface violations are among the most common property-maintenance citations cities issue. Each one is a homeowner ordered to repaint on a deadline. Each lead includes the owner's name, address, the exact citation, and a ready-to-send intro; we trace a phone for most.
