Signed up with Angi thinking it'd boost my lead gen for flooring jobs, but damn, $75 per lead for basic vinyl plank installs? Just did a quote for 800 sq ft of Coretec LVP and the homeowner ghosted after I spent two hours on the measurement. Feels like a racket.

nextdoor works if you post before/after of your LVP jobs, but still gotta weed out the cheapos
