Halifax · Dartmouth · Bedford · Sackville · Fall River
Salt air, coastal storms and old houses keep Halifax contractors busy, and a wave of new homes keeps adding customers who don't know anyone yet. We help HRM contractors show up across the communities they serve and be the name newcomers trust.

Work we've done · Beyond The Brush Painters
Beyond The Brush had no brand and no website. We built both, then switched on Google Ads aimed at the jobs Sunny wanted most. Twenty days after the site went live he had booked 8 jobs: 6 interiors, 1 exterior and 1 cabinet job, a 7X return on the ad spend.
I'm very happy with service from Debut Marketing. Evan is very professional, responsive, and has been great helping grow my painting business online. I really appreciate their communication and the effort they put into our marketing. Highly recommend!

Just over a year ago, I started my business. About six months in, things were going well, but I didn’t have a website. Then, out of nowhere, I got a call from Evan. He had seen my business on Google and noticed I didn’t have a website. Evan sent me a list of what he needed, but at the time, I was extremely busy, probably not the easiest client to work with. Eventually, we got everything in place, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The website looks great, I get compliments on it all the time, and more importantly, leads are coming in every week! Outstanding service, outstanding results. I’ll recommend Evan every chance I get.
Evan made it very easy and simple to design the perfect website for my construction company. All within a great budget and timeline. Evan followed up after few weeks to even make better improvements to the site for free. Highly recommend!! Thanks Evan.
From start to finish our team had an amazing experience with debut when we hired them to do our website. We saw an increase in traffic to our business and we’re super happy with the product these guys delivered in a timely matter. Don’t hesitate to do business with them.
