What is a Cited Lead?
A Cited Lead is a property whose owner has been formally told to fix specific problems, like a failing porch, broken windows, a leaking roof or a dead furnace, usually by a deadline. We match every item to the trades that can fix it and add the owner's name and mailing address.
That makes them some of the highest-intent leads in the trades. The owner isn't wondering whether to fix the porch or replace the windows. The work is already on their list, often with a date attached, and many of them have never hired a contractor for that kind of job before.
Buildedly finds new cited properties every day, reads the repair list, and sorts each property into the trades that can clear it. You pick your trade and city, and you get a list of owners who need exactly what you do.

Questions
Cited Leads: FAQ
What are Cited Leads?
A Cited Lead is a property whose owner has been formally told to fix specific problems, like a failing porch, broken windows, a leaking roof or a dead furnace, usually by a deadline. We match every item to the trades that can fix it and add the owner's name and mailing address.
How are Cited Leads different from other contractor leads?
Most leads are someone thinking about a project. A Cited Lead is a property where the work has to happen. The owner already knows what is wrong and has a reason to hire soon, so you are not selling the need, only yourself.
Which trades get Cited Leads?
Roofing, masonry and siding, windows and doors, carpentry and porches, concrete, painting, drywall and plaster, flooring, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and landscaping. Each property is tagged with every trade its repair list calls for, and 59% need two or more trades.
Who do I contact?
Every Cited Lead includes the property owner's name and mailing address. 14% of owners live at the property, and the rest are landlords or investors, which is marked on each lead. A short letter or postcard that names the repair works well.
