Why work with MAJ
What MAJ fixes for Montgomery remodelers
Your problem
Thin proof in a city with no license to check
With no city license to look up, Montgomery homeowners judge you on reviews, photos and how clearly you explain the process. A sparse profile, or a landmark approval raised late, sends them elsewhere.
What we build
Proof up front, process on the page
We film your detail work, set up a review request at every final walkthrough, and build separate pages for kitchens, baths and exterior or historic work that explain the Landmarks Commission step before the consult.
Detail work on camera
Our video is made in house, and trim, tile and millwork are what a close, steady shot shows most clearly.
A monthly report you can check
You see booked consults and cost per consult for every source each month, with signed projects connected where your systems allow.
The local rules, known
We know the Old Montgomery district, the 32 landmarks and the NIC review, and we write them into your pages.

Where Montgomery remodelers lose ground
- Thin proof where there is no license to check
- Homeowners lean on reviews, photos and how quickly you answer. A sparse profile loses to one with recent, detailed reviews.
- Exterior surprises
- An addition or porch on a listed landmark needs Landmarks Commission approval. Raised after the design is drawn, it costs trust and time.
- One ZIP, two cities
- Montgomery and Blue Ash share ZIP 45242. Ads built on the ZIP split your budget across two permit offices and two sets of rules.
Montgomery rules that change a remodeler's pitch
The Old Montgomery district
Montgomery's Old Montgomery (OM) zoning district is meant to preserve the historic fabric of the downtown along the Montgomery Road corridor. Projects there call for a design conversation, which is exactly what a design-build firm sells.

Exterior changes to a listed landmark, including outbuildings, fencing, walkways and repainting, need a certificate of approval from the Landmarks Commission, which has named 32 landmarks tied to the city's early history.

The City of Montgomery has no licensing requirement of its own for contractors, so homeowners cannot screen you with a city license. Reviews, video and a clear process have to do that job.

Watch
A page that does the screening a license would
A Montgomery homeowner who cannot look up a city license will read your page closely. This video shows a page built to book the consult, with finished work and reviews before the form.
- Separate pages for kitchens, baths and historic exteriors
- Reviews and finished rooms before the form
- Quick to load and easy to use on a phone

A page with one job: get the call. A generic homepage is slow and makes people hunt. A vague slogan, a menu of everything, and the phone number buried. Lead with the job and the town. The headline matches what they searched for and where they live. Real photos and video of your work. Your team, your trucks, your finished jobs. A click to call button and a short form. One tap to call, or three quick fields to request an estimate. Show the towns you serve. Visitors know right away that you work where they live. Fast on a phone. People search from the driveway. The page loads before they lose interest. Built to get the call. Every block on the page has one job: turn a visitor into a booked estimate. Book a call with us at majmarketingco.com.

Reaching Montgomery homeowners before they search
Many remodels start months before anyone types a search. This video shows how Meta ads, search ads, Local Services Ads and your Google Business Profile each lead to a tracked call or form, so you can see which one starts the conversation.
- Meta for early interest
- Search and Local Services Ads for active shoppers
- One tracked number per path

Four ways in. Which one books the jobs? Google Search ads. Show up at the top when someone searches for the job you do. Local Services Ads. Listings at the very top of the page, built for calls and messages. Facebook and Instagram ads. Reach homeowners in your service area before they ever search. Google Business Profile. Your listing on the map, with call and directions one tap away. Each path leads to a tracked number or form. So every call and form records where it came from. Every lead lands in one list, source attached. No more guessing which ad made the phone ring. Cost per booked job, by source. Put more behind what books jobs. Fix or cut what does not.

Montgomery remodeler questions
Does Montgomery require a city contractor license for remodelers?
No. The City of Montgomery does not have its own licensing requirement for contractors working in the city. Permits still apply: the city's Community Development building division processes applications, National Inspection Corporation handles plan review and inspections, and Hamilton County Public Health issues plumbing permits.
What approvals apply when remodeling a Montgomery landmark?
Exterior changes to a listed Montgomery landmark, including outbuildings, fencing, walkways and repainting, need a certificate of approval from the Landmarks Commission. The commission has named 32 landmarks tied to the city's early history.
Can a kitchen and bath remodeler run Google Local Services Ads?
Yes. Google lists Kitchen remodeling, Bathroom remodeling and General contractor among its US Local Services Ads categories, along with Countertop services, Flooring services and Carpenters. Businesses that pass Google's screening earn a Google Verified badge, and providers without it can run pre-badge ads that appear below badged providers. We judge them by design consults booked, like any other source.
How long should a remodeler follow up with a homeowner who has not booked?
For as long as the project is still alive, which for a kitchen or whole-home remodel can be months. Reply within minutes first, then send a planned run of texts, emails and calls, each with something useful such as a new project video, while the homeowner saves and compares.
Is there still a federal tax credit homeowners can use in a remodel?
Not the one most of them heard about. Under the 2025 tax law, the energy efficient home improvement credit (25C), which covered items such as windows, exterior doors and insulation, is not allowed for property placed in service after December 31, 2025. If your ads or website still mention it, take it down, because a homeowner who expects a credit and does not get one remembers who mentioned it.
