Built by Contractors, For Contractors

We Know Your BusinessBecause We've Been There

Hard Hat Advertising was started by a contractor and a cold outreach specialist who saw how much money contractors waste on marketing systems that don't match the reality of field work, scheduling, seasonality, and job flow.

Our Story

Hard Hat Advertising isn't run by designers in an office. It's run by people who have lived the contractor reality. Jack worked in HVAC, dealing with slow seasons, overtime surges, emergency calls, and quotes won vs lost. Lars built cold outreach and targeted lead systems for service companies. We combined field experience with targeted campaign strategy to create a marketing system built around real demand — not guesses or vanity metrics.

Our Mission

Help contractors become the first choice in their local market by delivering marketing that matches how their business actually works.

Our Values

Straightforward Communication

No marketing jargon. We talk in terms of jobs, calls, and booked appointments—the metrics that actually matter to your business.

No Wasted Money

Your budget goes toward generating leads during peak demand, not running ads 24/7 hoping something sticks.

Focus on Booked Jobs, Not Clicks

We measure success by phone calls that turn into appointments and jobs closed, not vanity metrics like impressions.

No Long-Term Contracts

Month-to-month service. We earn your business every month by delivering results, not by locking you in.
