# What is a good cost per lead for remodeling ads?

Most remodelers should target $50 to $150 per lead from paid ads. Kitchen remodelers typically see higher CPLs, from $100 to $200, while general remodeling and bathroom contractors often land between $40 and $100 per lead. A lead that costs $150 and closes a $50,000 kitchen delivers a 333x return on that lead cost.

Cost per lead matters less than cost per booked estimate. A $200 lead that converts to a booked appointment 50% of the time is cheaper than a $50 lead that never picks up the phone. Track beyond the form fill: measure how many leads become estimates, how many estimates close, and your average project value. That is your real acquisition cost. Optimize targeting, creative, and follow up speed for booked estimates, not cheaper clicks.
