PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO BUILT FOR CONTRACTORS
Every contractor's website says "quality workmanship". Photos and video of your jobs prove it. We shoot finished projects, crews at work and short videos made for your website, Google profile, social media and ads.
- Edited photos of finished projects and crews
- A highlight video for your website and socials
- Short video ads with different hooks
- Drone photos and video, with a shoot or on their own
The reality
Stock photos are costing you jobs
Homeowners can spot a stock photo in half a second, and they wonder what you're hiding.
-
Stock photos of someone else's crew
The smiling model in a spotless hard hat has never worked for you. The homeowner knows it, and it makes everything else on the page feel less true.
-
Phone photos in bad light
Your best job, shot at 6 pm from the driveway, with the ladder still up. Great work, badly shown, looks like average work.
-
No video at all
Social feeds and ads run on short video now. Without it, your ads cost more and your posts reach fewer people.
-
Nobody can see who shows up
People are letting you into their home or their yard. Photos of the actual crew build trust faster than any sentence on your website.
What one shoot gets you
Fresh content from a single day on site
We plan the shot list around where every photo and clip will be used, so nothing sits in a folder. Here is what the Media Refresh shoot includes.

Where it goes
One shoot, used everywhere
A good shoot gives you material for months. We plan the shot list around where it will be used, so nothing sits in a folder.
- Website: service pages, the gallery and before and after sliders
- Google Business Profile: fresh photos every month
- Social media: reels, carousels and project stories
- Ads: video ads and photo ads that look like your jobs, not stock
- Recruiting: crew shots help when you are hiring
Drone photo and video
Add the view from above
A drone shows what a photo from the ground can't: the size of a lot, a finished roof, a new build in its neighbourhood, the view a buyer is paying for. Drone footage comes with the Ad Creative shoot where the site and the airspace allow it, and you can book a drone shoot on its own from $800.
Building something big? A monthly drone plan, from $1,799, flies the same angles every visit, so owners, lenders and buyers can watch the progress line up.
- 10+ edited photos, a highlight video and the raw footage
- We check the airspace and arrange any permissions
- Single shoots or monthly plans for active sites

Is this for you?
Worth it if your work looks good in person
You're a good fit if
- Your finished work is better than any photo on your website
- You run ads or post on social media, or want to
- You have a job coming up or just finished that shows what you do best
We're not a fit if
- You need one photo for a business card
- There's nothing on site to shoot for the next few months
Ongoing content
Want a monthly content plan?
Every contractor is different. Instead of a fixed package, we can build a content plan around your goals, your services and the jobs you want more of.

Plan a shootHow much does a contractor photo and video shoot cost?
The Media Refresh shoot is $1,400 one time: 50 edited photos and one highlight video to update your website and social media. The Ad Creative shoot is $1,500: 4 short-form videos with different hooks, drone footage and 10 edited photos made for Meta ads. Drone shoots on their own start at $800.
What should I have ready for the shoot?
A job that shows what you do best, a crew in clean gear if you want them on camera, and a rough list of the services you want more of. We plan the shot list with you before the day.
Do you shoot active job sites?
Yes. Crews at work are some of the most useful footage we get. We work around your schedule and your site safety rules.
Can you shoot before and after?
Yes, if we know about the job early. We match the angles before and after so the comparison is fair and convincing.
Is drone footage included?
It's part of the Ad Creative shoot, where the site and the airspace allow it. You can also book a drone shoot on its own from $800, or a monthly plan from $1,799 for an active site. See drone photo and video for the details and how the rules work.
Do your Facebook ads plans include a shoot?
When you need one, yes. If you don't have video of your work yet, we start your Facebook ads with the Ad Creative shoot, so the ads run on real video and photos of your jobs. See our Facebook ads plans.
Who owns the photos and video?
You get the finished photos and edits to use on your website, social media and ads.
