The fastest way for contracting businesses to reach homeowners, beat slower competitors to the bid and keep crews booked all year
In the contracting world, the job usually goes to whoever gets to the homeowner first — and nothing reaches a homeowner faster than a text. SMS for contractors gives your business a direct line to the people deciding between you and two other bids, on the device they check all day long. While your voicemails sit unheard and your emails land in a promotions folder, your text is read, considered and answered.
RS Royal Services Inc builds complete texting programs for general contractors, remodelers, builders and specialty trades across the United States. That means bulk campaigns to your past customers and lead lists, a two-way texting inbox so homeowners can ask questions and book estimates, review and referral requests after the final walkthrough, and a professional business number that keeps your personal cell out of it. We write the messages, manage the platform and keep everything compliant.
This page covers the full picture of contractor texting — promotions, conversations and reputation. If you want the deeper mechanics of automated follow-up sequences, missed-call text-back and estimate drip workflows, see our dedicated SMS automation for contractors page.

Homeowners screen unknown calls but almost always read texts. When a new lead comes in, a fast, professional text puts your company in the conversation before competitors even leave a voicemail.
Spring exterior pushes, fall prep specials, winter interior projects — we send targeted campaigns to your past customers and lead lists exactly when homeowners are planning that work.
Customers reply to your texts with questions, photos of the project and preferred times — and your team answers from one shared inbox, moving each conversation toward a booked estimate.
A cancellation or a rained-out day doesn't have to mean idle crews. A quick availability blast to your list can fill open slots within hours instead of losing the day.
Right after the punch list is done and the customer is happiest, a short text asks for a Google review or a neighbor referral — steadily building the reputation that wins future bids.
Text from a dedicated business line that matches your company, not a foreman's personal cell. Every conversation stays organized, searchable and owned by the business.
From first call to first campaign without adding work to your plate
We map how your leads come in, load your customer and lead lists, and configure a compliant business texting number for your company.
Our team drafts your promotional texts, replies and review requests, and wires up the automations behind them — all approved by you first.

We connect a business texting number to your lead sources and customer list, then run campaigns and conversations through it — promotions go out, homeowners text back, and your team books estimates from one inbox.
It is when it's set up correctly. Every program we build includes documented opt-in, automatic opt-out handling and ongoing list hygiene, so your contracting business texts confidently and legally.
Most contractors are sending their first campaign within about a week of kickoff — list import, number setup and compliance included, with no software for you to learn.
Faster lead response, fuller schedules and more reviews are the typical outcomes — most contractors see 5–20 leads per day from their campaigns, and 30–40% of those leads typically convert into booked appointments. Packages start at $1,250 per week for 5,000 SMS per day (our minimum volume), with the Growth plan at $2,000 per week for 10,000 SMS per day, and we map projections for your trade on a free strategy call.
