LeadQuasar's Home Remodeling category holds 315 contacts, and almost all of them are in two states: Illinois (161) and Texas (132). 312 have a phone number and 311 carry a person's name (99% each), 233 have a website (74%) and 101 have an email address (32%). This is a small, regional list of remodeling contractors, and it rewards careful, personal outreach rather than volume.
Be clear about what this list is
A 315-contact list in essentially two states is not a national remodeler database. It is a regional one, useful if your territory includes the Chicago area or Texas, and of limited use elsewhere.
| State | Contacts | With email | With phone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Illinois | 161 | 62 | 160 |
| Texas | 132 | 36 | 130 |
| Indiana | 11 | 3 | 11 |
| Wisconsin | 7 | 0 | 7 |
Chicago alone has 82 contacts, about half of the Illinois records. If you sell in person, that is a territory you could cover in a week or two of visits.
If you need remodelers somewhere else, LeadQuasar's kitchen and bath remodeler and construction categories are worth checking before you decide.
How a remodeling company runs
Most remodeling firms are owner-led. The owner sells the jobs, meets homeowners, prices the work and manages subcontractors. Bigger firms add a project manager or production manager who runs jobs day to day, and sometimes an office manager who handles scheduling and invoices. At almost every firm on a list like this, the owner decides on anything that costs money.
Their week pulls them in three directions: estimates and sales calls with homeowners, job sites, and the office. That affects when they will talk to you:
- Early morning, before they head to a site, is the best time to call.
- Late afternoon is second best, after the crews have wrapped up.
- Evenings and weekends often go to homeowner appointments, so avoid them.
What remodelers buy, and how to pitch it
| You sell | Lead with |
|---|---|
| Homeowner lead generation | Quality of leads and cost per signed job, not volume |
| Consumer financing | Bigger projects closing at the kitchen table |
| Materials, cabinets, windows, fixtures | Lead times, delivery reliability and trade pricing |
| Estimating and project software | Faster quotes and fewer mistakes on change orders |
| Insurance and bonding | Coverage that matches the work they actually do |
| Subcontracting services | Availability and reliability on their schedule |
Remodelers are sceptical of lead generation in particular. Plenty have paid for leads that went nowhere. If that is your product, be specific about how leads are qualified and how they are charged.
Supply is the other pain point. When a cabinet order slips, the whole job slips, and the homeowner blames the contractor. A supplier who can talk credibly about lead times gets attention.
Reaching them
With phone and name coverage at 99%, the phone is the obvious first channel. You can ask for the owner by name in almost every case, which gets you further than asking for "whoever handles purchasing".
- Browse home remodeling leads and filter to Illinois or Texas, or to Chicago. Search and filtering are free.
- Check each record's quality score and data tier before unlocking. 98 records are CONNECTED, 2 VERIFIED, 213 STANDARD and 2 LEAN. Start with CONNECTED.
- Look at the website, which 74% of records have. Portfolios tell you whether the firm does kitchens and baths, additions, basements or whole-house work, and roughly what size of project.
- Call early morning. Ask for the owner by name and mention a project type you saw on their site.
- Send a short email where you have one, especially in Illinois, where 62 of the 161 records include an address. Our cold email guide covers structure, and you should follow CAN-SPAM and any state rules that apply.

Make a small list count
Because the list is small, every contact matters. A few habits help:
- Note what they build. A basement specialist and a kitchen remodeler need different pitches.
- Follow up on a schedule. Three touches over three weeks, then leave it for a season.
- Track what they say. If an owner says they are booked solid until spring, call in late winter.
- Visit where you can. In Chicago, a short visit with a sample or a price sheet is often worth more than five calls.
