For builders and remodelers

They walk the finished job. Then they search. Your work was good — they can’t see it.

After the walkthrough or punch list, Good Work Reviews drafts a short note. You approve it. Then the client can leave a Google or Houzz review — or send a referral.

One note after a finished job — not mid-build. You pick Google, Houzz, or a referral link.

Nothing reaches a client until you say yes.

Hi Sam —

Thanks again for trusting us with the remodel.

If you have a minute, would you leave a short review on Google or Houzz? Here’s the link: Review link

If a neighbor needs a builder, here’s a short link you can send them — or fill in their name yourself: Referral link

No note goes out until you approve it.

Needs your approval. Approve, edit, or skip — on a laptop or your phone.

When to send

Ask at the finish line — not mid-build.

When the note goes out: after the final walkthrough, when the keys are handed over, or when the punch list is closed. You pick the moment. You approve the note.

  1. Final walkthrough

    Keys handed — good time to ask

  2. Punch list closed

    Open items done — job feels finished

  3. Phase wrapped

    Remodel or build phase the client can feel is done

  4. Project done

    Client can feel it’s finished

One note per finished job. No follow-up nagging unless you send it.

Sample

What the note can say

  1. 01

    Your firm’s voice. Change any line before it sends.

  2. 02

    One clear ask for a review. Google, Houzz, or the site you already use.

  3. 03

    A link they can pass on. They send it — or fill in a name themselves.

FAQ

Questions before you ask

Where should construction reviews go?

Google for most local search. Houzz if you already use it. You pick the link in the note.

When should a builder ask for a review or referral?

After the job is clearly finished — final walkthrough, punch list closed, or a phase the client can feel is done. Not mid-build.

Is it OK to ask clients for Google or Houzz reviews?

Asking is fine. Paying for reviews, writing fake ones, or sending review requests only to happy clients is not. Good Work Reviews never does those.

How is Good Work Reviews different from Podium, Birdeye, or NiceJob?

Those tools are built for high-volume local shops. Good Work Reviews is for firms where one client relationship lasts years. By default you approve every note; automation is optional and unlocks after you’ve approved and sent five notes yourself — not on day one.
