Business has been incredible compared to this time last year. It has mostly been residential and multi-units, but I am also working on some larger jobs. The only area that isn't working out is wood restoration. My prices are high compared to most, but it may be a blessing in disguise. I'm struggling to keep up because I am still teaching full-time, and I'm a solo operation. It will soon be time to hire someone.
Most of the jobs are coming from my website, a postcard campaign and a small amount of referrals from last year. The big difference this year from last year is the website. Last year I had a self-made website that didn't rank at all. Mid 2012 I had a local professional develop and manage a website. It now ranks #1 for almost all keywords for my service areas. The website has been my best investment thus far!
