About This Product

A booklet makes a contractor look like an established company, not a guy with a truck. A homeowner buying a new roof or a whole-home system wants proof they hired a real business, and a booklet with your process, team, warranties, and finished work gives it.

We build booklets as the piece that wins big, careful jobs: a capabilities guide, a homeowner buying guide, or a project portfolio. Leave it at the estimate and it justifies your price before you quote it.

Often ordered with: Brochures, Bulk Posters, and Calendars.

Common Questions

How much does booklet printing cost?
Booklet printing is starting at $129, and every order includes design and a proof before printing. Page count, size, paper, and quantity set the final price. Send your page count and quantity in the form below and we will quote it with your proof.

How many pages should a booklet have?
Most contractor booklets run 8 to 16 pages. Stapled booklets come in multiples of four, starting at 8. Only go longer if you have the photos and content to fill it, since a padded booklet reads worse than a good flyer.

When is a booklet worth it for a contractor?
When the job is big enough that the homeowner is nervous about who to hire, like roofing, HVAC replacement, remodels, and restoration. A booklet with your process, warranties, and finished work builds the trust that stops them from picking the cheapest bid.

What is the difference between a booklet and a catalog?
Mostly the purpose. A booklet tells your story and builds trust. A catalog lists products and options to choose from. They use the same binding and paper, and we build whichever fits how you sell.

What should go in a contractor booklet?
Your process step by step, your team, warranties and guarantees, before-and-after photos, reviews, and a clear next step to book. Lead with what the homeowner worries about most, such as cost, mess, or delays, and show exactly how your team handles it.

How long does booklet printing take?
Booklets are ready 7 to 9 business days after you approve the proof, and larger runs add a few days. The minimum is 25 booklets, so you can start small for sales calls and reorder as you need more.

Ordering print in East Tennessee

Do you ship print orders across East Tennessee?

Yes. Everything we print ships — to Knoxville, Maryville, Alcoa, or wherever your crew is working. Shipping time is on top of the print turnaround, and we confirm the total before you approve the proof.

How fast can I get signs or cards for a job starting this week?

Most orders proof within one business day and print in three to seven business days, plus shipping. Rush is available on yard signs, business cards and door hangers — put your date in the form below and we will tell you what is actually possible.

Will yard signs and banners hold up outdoors in East Tennessee?

We spec UV inks and heavier stock on anything that lives outdoors through hot summers and freezing winters. Tell us the sign is going in full sun or staying up through the season and we will recommend the material that lasts instead of the cheapest one.

Do I need artwork before I can order?

No. Design is included. Send a logo, a photo of your truck, or nothing at all, and our design team builds the artwork and sends you a proof before anything prints.
