We sat down with Lance Kaiser, President and CEO of American Exteriors. Historically, American Exteriors would use canvassing as their central method to create new business. They turned to Modernize in 2016 to shift their strategy toward digital marketing and replacement window leads, and have been growing their Windows vertical ever since.

Whether they need windows to be replaced or siding on their new home to make it beautiful, we want to be the first person they call when they have a home improvement need.”

What advice do you have for homeowners?
“Know that Modernize works with only the best contractors. They choose people that are professionals, people that have A+ ratings with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), people that will take care of you and take care of your home’s needs.”
What is your outlook for 2018 with Modernize?
