I will produce a contractor before-and-after project showcase video

About this gig

Turn your finished jobs into your best salesperson. I produce contractor before-and-after project showcase videos that prove your craftsmanship and win higher-ticket bids.

What you get

A before-and-after project showcase video built specifically for contractors, remodelers, and home-service trades who want footage that actually closes jobs instead of just looking pretty. You supply the raw clips and photos from your job site; I shape them into a clean, professional story that takes a viewer from "that's a tired old space" to "I want this crew on my project."

  • A fully edited horizontal video (16:9, 1080p standard, 4K on request) sized for your website, YouTube, and Google Business Profile
  • A matching vertical cut (9:16) formatted for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts so the same footage works across every channel you market on
  • A deliberate before-and-after structure: establishing shots of the original condition, demolition or progress moments, and a satisfying reveal of the finished work
  • Smooth before/after transitions (wipes, split-screen comparisons, and reveal swipes) that make the transformation read instantly, even with the sound off
  • Licensed background music chosen to match the pace and tone of the job, plus clean audio leveling
  • On-screen text and lower thirds: project type, scope highlights, location/neighborhood, and a closing call-to-action with your phone number, website, or "request a quote" prompt
  • Your logo, brand colors, and contact details integrated into the intro and outro
  • Color correction and stabilization on your raw phone or camera footage so shaky walkthroughs look intentional and the finished space looks its best
  • Captions/subtitles burned in for silent autoplay on social feeds
  • Delivery in web-ready and social-ready formats, with source-quality export available

If you only have still photos, I can still build a compelling before-and-after using motion (parallax, pans, and zooms) rather than static slideshow frames.

How it works

  1. Brief and footage drop. You tell me the project (kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation, roofing, deck build, exterior paint, flooring, landscaping, etc.), the result you want, and any branding. You upload your raw video clips and photos via a shared link.
  2. Footage review and shot plan. I review what you sent, flag any gaps (a missing "before" angle, a wide reveal shot), and map out the before-to-after sequence so the transformation lands clearly.
  3. First edit. I assemble the cut: structure, transitions, music, color, text, and branding. You receive a watermarked draft to review.
  4. Revisions. You send timestamped notes; I adjust pacing, swap music, fix text, or tighten the reveal within your plan's revision count.
  5. Final delivery. I export the approved video in your chosen formats and resolutions, including the vertical and (on Premium) square cuts, ready to post and ready to embed.

Why choose this

Most contractors are sitting on a goldmine of phone footage that never gets used. A before-and-after showcase is the single most persuasive marketing asset a trade business can own, because it shows proof, not promises. Homeowners don't hire on adjectives; they hire on visible results. This service is built around that one job: making your finished work look as impressive on screen as it does in person, and making the transformation unmistakable in the first three seconds.

I work from real job-site footage, so the video looks like your crew and your standards, not a generic stock template. The structure is engineered for how people actually watch on phones: silent autoplay, captions on, a strong hook, and a reveal that earns the "wow." Every deliverable comes in both horizontal and vertical so you're not paying again to repurpose it for Reels, Shorts, or your Google Business Profile.

Who it is for / use cases

This gig is made for home-improvement and construction trades that sell on visible transformation:

  • Kitchen and bathroom remodelers showing gut-to-glamour renovations
  • General contractors and home renovation firms building a portfolio reel
  • Roofing, siding, and exterior contractors documenting full tear-off and replacement jobs
  • Painters (interior and exterior) proving clean lines and dramatic color changes
  • Flooring, tile, and hardwood installers showing room-by-room upgrades
  • Deck, patio, fence, and hardscape builders capturing outdoor-living transformations
  • Landscapers and lawn-care pros showing overgrown-to-manicured curb appeal
  • Basement finishing, garage conversion, and ADU builders turning unused space into living space

Use cases: website hero videos, social media ads, Instagram and TikTok content, YouTube channel and Shorts, Google Business Profile posts, email newsletters, sales-call follow-ups, and trade-show or estimate-meeting playback.

FAQ

Q: What footage do I need to send? At minimum, "before" clips or photos of the original space and "after" footage of the finished result. Mid-project shots (demo, framing, install) make the story stronger. Steady, well-lit, horizontal phone footage works great.

Q: Can you make a video if I only have photos? Yes. I'll use motion, pans, zooms, and split-screen comparisons to create a dynamic before-and-after even without video clips, though a mix of photos and video gives the best result.

Q: My phone footage is shaky and the lighting is uneven. Is that a problem? Usually not. Stabilization and color correction are part of Standard and Premium, and I'll let you know early if any specific clip can't be salvaged so you can grab a quick reshoot.

Q: Do I get a vertical version for Instagram and TikTok? A vertical 9:16 cut is included on Standard and Premium, and Premium adds a square 1:1 version for feed posts. Basic delivers the horizontal cut.

Q: Will my logo, colors, and contact info be on the video? Yes. Your branding goes in the intro/outro and the closing call-to-action across all plans. Animated logo treatment is included on Premium.

Q: How many projects can go in one video? Each plan covers a single project's before-and-after by default. If you want a multi-project portfolio reel combining several jobs, message me first so I can scope the right plan.

Q: How do revisions work? You send timestamped notes after the draft and I revise within your plan's included rounds (1 Basic, 2 Standard, 3 Premium). Revisions cover edits, pacing, text, and music swaps, not a full re-shoot or a different project.

Q: Can I use the video in paid ads? Yes. The edited video and its licensed music are cleared for organic and paid use on your own channels, including social ads, your website, and your Google Business Profile.

    Runs a deck and railing remodeling business and the before-and-after cuts he put together made our rotted-out deck rebuild look like a magazine spread. Sent him my raw phone clips and got the edited showcase back in three days.

    Solid showcase video for my bathroom remodel. The before-and-after wipes look professional and the captions naming each room help a lot. Took one revision to fix a couple of clips that were in the wrong order, but he turned it around same day.

    Hired him to put together a before-and-after for our basement waterproofing work. The water-stained walls to finished space progression is convincing and the text overlays are clean. Would have liked a touch more color correction on the dim before-footage, but happy overall.

    Fast turnaround and he actually understood that a fence install needs the wide establishing shot first. Great showcase reel for my socials.

    The split-screen transitions between the cracked old driveway and the fresh poured concrete are exactly the kind of proof I needed for my landscaping page. Communication was quick and he nailed the pacing on the first pass.

    I do roofing and most editors have no idea how to make a tear-off and re-shingle look interesting. He sequenced the drone shots so the worn-out roof literally fades into the new one. Clients keep asking who made it.

    This is my third painting-job showcase from him and every one comes back tight, well-paced, and easy to drop on Instagram and the website. He matched my brand colors in the lower-thirds without me even asking and delivered ahead of the deadline.

    The final cut for my kitchen renovation jobs is decent and the before-and-after structure is clear. Honestly the background music felt a little generic for the trade and I had to ask twice to get the logo placement right, but it got there in the end.
