The Problem

Most contractors hit a ceiling
they can't explain.

You're good at your craft. You've built something real. But growth has stalled — and every lead source feels like a gamble.

💸

Platforms bleed you dry

Angi, Home Advisor, Thumbtack. $6,000–$12,000 a month. Leads shared with 4 other contractors. Homeowners fishing for the lowest quote. You're paying to compete against yourself.

🎲

Referrals aren't scalable

You hit $1M–$3M on word of mouth. Great while it flows. But you can't predict it, can't control it, and every slow month is a reminder that you don't own your pipeline.

🕳️

Agencies take the money, not the risk

$3,000/month retainer. Ad spend on top. Three months before you see results — maybe. They're paid whether you close or not. The incentives are backwards.

How It Works

Four steps.
One outcome.

A full appointment pipeline — without touching a single ad account, lead platform, or retainer agreement.

01

We own the traffic

Not Meta. Not Google. Our own proprietary lead generation system. We control the source, which means we control the quality. You're not at the mercy of algorithm changes or platform economics.

02

60-second call on every lead

Our US-based team calls every lead within 60 seconds of opt-in. While competitors are sending an automated email, we're already on the phone qualifying.

03

Financial qualification before you ever speak to them

Budget confirmed. Timeline established. Decision-maker identified. By the time they're on your calendar, the basics are done — you show up to sell, not to qualify.

04

You only pay when they show

Not per lead. Not per call. Not per booking. When the homeowner walks through your door — or sits across from you on a video call — that's when we get paid. Zero risk on your end.

What Clients Say

Real contractors.
Real numbers.

★★★★★

"I was spending $8K a month on Angi and getting maybe one job every six weeks. With Kava I had my first shown appointment in nine days. Closed an $18,500 kitchen job. The difference is night and day."

Josh M. Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling · Texas
★★★★★

"What sold me was the pay-per-show model. No risk. If they don't show, I don't pay. My close rate went up because these homeowners actually have a budget and actually want to move forward."

Kyle R. General Contracting · Florida
★★★★★

"Referrals had us stuck at $2.1M for three years. First 90 days with Kava we added $147,000 in contracted revenue. We stopped Angi immediately. Should've done this two years ago."

Marcus D. Roofing & Siding · Ohio

Our Commitment

We carry the risk.
You collect the revenue.

Every part of our model is built to eliminate your downside.

🎯

Pay Per Shown Appointment

You never pay for a lead who doesn't show. No-shows cost you nothing. The financial risk stays entirely on our side.

🔒

Market Exclusivity

One contractor per specialty per market. When your area is locked, no competitor in your niche gets our appointments.

🚫

No Retainer, Ever

No monthly fee to keep the lights on. No account management fee. No setup fee. You pay for results, full stop.

🗓️

Stop Any Week

No contracts. No 6-month commitments. If it's not working for you, you walk. We've never had to enforce that clause — but it exists.

One contractor per specialty per market. That's not a sales tactic — it's how the model works.

We can't serve two kitchen remodelers in the same city and deliver exclusive, pre-qualified appointments. When your market is claimed, it's closed until that contractor leaves. Check availability before someone else does.

Honest Filter

Who this is for.
Who it's not.

We'd rather tell you upfront than waste both our time.

✓ This is for you if...
→ You're doing $1M+ per year and have the capacity to handle more volume
→ You're tired of competing on price against 4 other contractors on the same shared lead
→ You want a predictable pipeline that doesn't depend on referrals or platform algorithms
→ You're willing to show up and close — we send qualified appointments, not a magic wand
→ You want to pay for performance, not for activity or effort
✕ This is not for you if...
→ You're under $1M/year — the model works but you need runway to handle consistent volume
→ You want leads, not appointments — we book face-to-face meetings, not lists of names
→ You're looking for a short-term fix — this builds a real pipeline, not a one-month spike
→ You can't handle 8–15 appointments/month — we'll outpace your capacity and that helps no one
→ You want guaranteed closes — we guarantee shows, your sales process handles the rest

FAQ

Every question you have.
Answered honestly.

No. We own our own traffic source — it's not Meta, not Google, and it's not shared platforms like Angi or Thumbtack. We've built and own the pipeline. That's what lets us offer exclusivity. If we were running your ads, your competitor could hire us next week and run the same ads. That's not how we work.
Before a homeowner ever hits your calendar, our US-based team has called them — within 60 seconds of opt-in — and confirmed: (1) they have a real budget for the project, (2) they have a real timeline, (3) the decision-maker will be at the appointment. You're not meeting someone who's "just getting quotes" with no intention of moving. The basic qualification is done before you shake hands.
Then it's taken. We work with one contractor per specialty per market — a kitchen remodeler in Dallas locks out every other kitchen remodeler in Dallas. If your area and specialty are gone, we'll let you know immediately and put you on a waitlist. Markets do open back up. But we can't manufacture exclusivity — it's binary. That's also why it works.
Three ways. First, Angi sells the same lead to 4–5 contractors simultaneously. We send you one appointment that belongs only to you. Second, Angi charges you per lead whether the homeowner answers the phone or not. We charge you per shown appointment — if they don't show, you don't pay. Third, Angi leads are people who filled out a form. Our appointments are people who've been called, qualified, and scheduled for a face-to-face meeting.
87% across our client base. The industry standard for shared leads is 20–40%. The difference is the qualification process and the confirmation sequence we run between booking and the appointment. Homeowners who've been called, confirmed, and reminded twice are very different from leads who filled out a web form at midnight.
Most clients see their first shown appointment within 14 days of onboarding. Some faster. The onboarding call takes about 45 minutes — we dial in your qualification criteria, connect your calendar, lock your market. After that, our team is working your pipeline.
No retainer. No monthly management fee. No ad spend. You pay per shown appointment — when the homeowner shows up. That's the model. We don't get paid if you don't get value. That's an intentional alignment of incentives.
Yes. No contracts. No penalties. Stop any week. We've never had a client leave because it wasn't working. We've had clients pause because they had more pipeline than crew — which is a good problem. But the ability to walk is real and it's yours.
