Key Takeaways
- Video content builds trust faster than any other type of marketing — and trust is what sells remodeling jobs.
- You don’t need fancy equipment or a film crew. Your smartphone and authentic expertise are enough.
- Focus on videos that educate, inspire, and humanize your brand: before & afters, testimonials, FAQs, behind-the-scenes, and trend highlights.
- By answering real questions your clients are asking, you position yourself as the go-to expert in your market.
- Consistency wins. You don’t need to go viral — you just need to show up, stay helpful, and be real.
If you’re a remodeling company trying to get more leads, you already know this: people don’t just buy remodeling services — they buy trust.
And what’s one of the fastest ways to build that trust before you ever hop on a call or step into someone’s home?
👉 Video.
You don’t need a film crew. You don’t need a script. You just need your phone, your personality, and a little strategy.
In this post, I’m going to break down 5 powerful video content ideas that will help you educate your audience, build trust, and attract ideal remodeling clients — the kind who are ready to invest in high-quality work and value what you bring to the table.
Let’s dive in.
1. Before & After Walkthroughs: Show, Don’t Tell
“Don’t just tell me you do great work — show me.”
Nothing sells your craftsmanship more than transformation. A well-shot before-and-after walkthrough is pure gold.
What to Include:
- A quick intro to the project: what the homeowner wanted, what problems you solved.
- Before footage — even if it’s just phone clips.
- Progress shots: demo, framing, design details.
- Final reveal with clean, wide-angle shots.
- Optional: walk through the space on camera, explaining choices and features.
Why It Works:
- Prospects can visualize their own transformation.
- It builds instant credibility.
- You create an emotional moment — especially if you include the homeowner reacting to the finished space.
Pro Tip:
Use voiceover to walk viewers through the journey — or do a “talking head” intro to add personality. Keep it under 2-3 minutes. Post it on your website, Instagram, YouTube, and Google Business Profile.
2. Client Testimonials & Story-Based Case Studies
“If they loved working with you, chances are I will too.”
Testimonial videos are a form of social proof that hits harder than any Google review or star rating.
What to Include:
- A happy client talking casually about their experience.
- A few clips of the finished project.
- Bonus points if they talk about why they chose you, how you handled issues, or how the remodel improved their life.
Why It Works:
- Buyers trust other buyers. This isn’t marketing — it’s storytelling.
- A well-told client story removes objections and builds confidence.
Pro Tip:
Don’t over-script it. Just ask your client 3-4 questions on camera:
- Why did you hire us?
- What was the process like?
- How do you feel now that it’s done?
- Would you recommend us?
Even a 60-second vertical clip can be extremely powerful.
3. Educational Tip Videos: Answer Real Questions
This one comes straight from Marcus Sheridan’s playbook: “They Ask, You Answer.”
“If your prospect is Googling it, you should be talking about it.”
What to Talk About:
- “How much does a kitchen remodel cost in [Your City]?”
- “What should I expect during a bathroom renovation?”
- “Do I need permits for a home addition?”
- “How long does a typical remodel take?”
Why It Works:
- These are the exact questions your leads are already searching.
- It positions you as a trusted expert, not a pushy salesperson.
- You’ll drive more qualified traffic to your website and increase close rates.
Pro Tip:
Batch record 5-10 FAQs in one day. Keep each video to 1–3 minutes. Post them to your blog, YouTube channel, and Google Business Profile. You’ll be shocked at how many people watch.
4. Meet the Team & Behind-the-Scenes
“People don’t hire companies. They hire people.”
One of the biggest buying objections remodelers face is trust. People are letting you into their homes — they want to know who you are.
What to Include:
- Introduce team members: project managers, installers, designers.
- Show your crew working on site.
- Give a tour of your office, truck, or shop.
- Walk through a typical day on the job.
Why It Works:
- Humanizes your brand.
- Builds comfort and familiarity.
- Makes people feel like they already know you before the first call.
Pro Tip:
Capture real moments. Your team joking on-site. A time-lapse of a job in progress. Your dog riding in the truck. People love real.
5. Design Inspiration & Trends
“Your ideal clients want beautiful homes — help them dream.”
If your audience follows HGTV or scrolls Pinterest for kitchen ideas, you can absolutely win their attention with design-forward content.
What to Share:
- “Top Kitchen Trends of 2025”
- “Best Bathroom Layouts for Small Spaces”
- “How to Blend Modern and Traditional Styles”
- “What’s Hot in Outdoor Living Spaces This Year”
Why It Works:
- Establishes you as a creative expert, not just a builder.
- Helps potential clients find their style — with you as their guide.
- Drives high engagement on platforms like Instagram and Pinterest.
Pro Tip:
Use screen recordings of design mockups, time-lapses of renderings, or slideshows of your favorite materials. Add your commentary to make it feel personal.
Final Thoughts: Just Start Recording
Most remodeling companies think they need the perfect setup, the perfect script, and the perfect time to start video marketing.
Here’s the truth: You don’t.
You just need to start.
Pick one video idea from this list and shoot it this week. Then do another one next week. You’ll get better, faster, and more confident with each one.
Soon, you’ll have a library of content that builds trust, books jobs, and puts your company at the top of the market.

FAQ: Video Marketing for Remodeling Companies
1. Do I need professional video equipment to start?
Nope! Your smartphone is more than enough to get started. Focus on clear audio, good lighting (natural light is great), and confident delivery. You can always upgrade later.
2. How long should my videos be?
Keep them short and punchy.
- Social media: 30–90 seconds
- YouTube/website: 1–3 minutes
- Client testimonials or walkthroughs: Up to 5 minutes if the story is strong
Shorter videos are easier to watch and share, especially for mobile viewers.
3. What platform should I post my videos on?
Start with where your ideal customers hang out:
- Instagram Reels and Facebook for local engagement
- YouTube for SEO and long-term visibility
- Google Business Profile for instant credibility
- Your website to help convert traffic into leads
Pro tip: Repurpose one video across multiple platforms.
4. I’m not comfortable on camera — what should I do?
Start small. Do a voiceover, show your work, or narrate behind-the-scenes content without showing your face. As you build confidence, ease into talking on camera. People want authenticity over perfection.
5. How often should I post video content?
Aim for 1 video per week to start. That’s 4 pieces of content a month — enough to stay top of mind and build momentum. As you get more efficient, increase frequency or batch multiple videos at once.
