Construction Flyers

A contractor flyer prints cheap by the thousand and still has room for a service list, a license number and a QR code, and on a two-sided sheet the back carries the project photos. Every trade flyer we print sits on flyers printing, and the choices below set up this one.

A thousand flyers for the street around one finished job costs $126.32. Six thousand, enough for a carrier route or two, is $280.09, and 25,000 for a whole storm season works out to $783.15, about 3 cents a flyer.

What Are Construction Flyers

A construction flyer is one full-color sheet that sells a trade service: the work, the license, the service area and the number to call. You print it in 9 sizes from 4.25" x 5.5" up to 11" x 25.5" on any of 7 stocks. Roofers and painters drop them door to door, HVAC techs leave a stack at the supply house, and remodelers tuck one into every estimate. Because the sheet carries your work, your license and your number, it does the pitch when you are not in the room. For a flyer that is not tied to a trade, the Business Flyers run on the same sizes and stocks.

What Size Should a Construction Flyer Be

Match the size to how the flyer gets delivered. A crew doing door drops and windshield tucks wants the 4.25" x 5.5" handbill, the cheapest to print by the thousand. A counter stack at the supply house works better as a 4" x 9" or 4.25" x 11", tall like a rack card, with room for a service list and one before-and-after pair. Step up to 5.5" x 8.5" when you want room for a pricing table, a project gallery and a coupon. There are 9 preset sizes in all, running up to a large 11" x 25.5" sheet, and you can set a custom size up to 11" x 26". The sizes, both finishes and the stock list are laid out below as you will see them when you order.

Stock, layout and the back of the sheet decide how many calls a construction flyer brings in.

Print a stock that survives the job

For a drop of several thousand, 70# Uncoated Text or 100# Gloss Text keeps the cost down and folds into a door handle. A flyer left with a big bid should feel heavier, so print it on 80# Gloss Cover, 100# Silk/Matte Cover, or 14pt Gloss Cover, which stays flat in a truck or a toolbox. There is also a 14pt Uncoated Cover made with 30% post-consumer recycled fiber when a greener stock fits your brand. A High Gloss UV Coating makes a job photo snap, and a Standard finish keeps the back easy to write an estimate on.

Three Contractor Flyer Layouts That Get Calls

Three layouts do the work for almost every trade. Each one has a size and a stock weight that suits how it gets delivered.

• Before and after job. The whole front is two photos of one job, shot from the same angle, with the trade and the phone number across the bottom. Nothing sells a roof, a deck or a bathroom faster than the house next door. Print it at 8.5" x 11" on a 100# gloss or silk text so the photos stay sharp, and put the license number and the service area on the back.
• Storm damage response. Written for the week after weather, so it leads with what you can do now: free inspection, insurance claim help, the date you can be on site. Keep it small and fast at 4.25" x 5.5" so a crew can drop hundreds in a morning, and print it on a 14pt cover, because these land on wet doors.
• Financing offer. One number in the middle of the page, the monthly payment, with the terms underneath and a single photo of a finished project. This one is read at a kitchen table rather than at a door, so give it a cover weight, the 80# gloss cover or the 100# silk cover, and print full color on both sides with the project list on the back.

Put a QR code to work

With 4/4 printing, the front carries your services and one job photo and the back carries a QR code. Point it at your booking page, your reviews or a gallery of finished work, so a homeowner who finds the flyer on the door can see the work before calling. Use one code per delivery route and the scans tell you which route paid.

Design it without a designer

Our flyer design templates hold thousands of free, professionally built layouts. Pick one with space for a photo pair, then add your trade, your license number and the service area in the online editor.

Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. The blank construction flyer template is built at the real trim size with the bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload.

How Much Do Construction Flyers Cost

Construction flyers start at $57.11, and the per-flyer price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 25,000. Count the houses on the streets you plan to canvass, set the slider below to that number, and it gives you the total and the cost of each flyer for that push.

Getting Your Flyers Onto the Street

A box of flyers in the truck earns nothing. Five routes get them into hands, and most contractors end up running two or three at once.

• Neighborhood saturation mail. Every address on a chosen carrier route gets a flyer, with no mailing list to buy. This is the play after you finish a visible job, a roof or a driveway, on a street where every house is the same age and heading for the same repair. Saturation mail has its own size and weight rules, so lock the size before the artwork.
• A mailing add on. Ask about mailing when you order and the run can go straight from production into the mail stream instead of coming back to your shop to be addressed by hand. Worth it the moment the run passes a few hundred pieces.
• Door to door drops. The cheapest route per house and the one crews can do between jobs. One rule: a flyer goes on the door handle, wedged in the frame or under the mat, never inside the mailbox. Only mail carriers may use a mailbox, and a complaint costs you more than the drop was worth.
• Jobsite handouts. While the trailer is parked and the sign is up, hand a flyer to the eight closest neighbors yourself. They have already watched your crew work, which makes it the warmest lead you will get all week.
• Suppliers and trade counters. Leave a counter stack at the lumber yard, the supply house, the paint store and the hardware desk. Ask first, keep it to fifty, and refill it yourself so it never sits empty or curled.

Whichever route you pick, print one code, one number or one landing page per route. Then the next order goes where the calls came from instead of where you guessed.

What Paper Stocks and Finishes Can You Choose

Seven stocks cover the jobs a contractor flyer does. The light, fold-friendly ones are 70# Uncoated Text and 100# Gloss Text, the heavier ones are 80# Gloss Cover, 100# Silk/Matte Cover and 14pt Gloss Cover, and a 14pt Uncoated Cover carries 30% post-consumer recycled fiber. Finish it Standard or with a High Gloss UV Coating, and set your ink to 4/0 for full color on the front with a blank back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides. The lighter text stocks keep a mass drop cheap, and the heavier covers give an estimate leave-behind real presence in the hand.

Weight matters more on a construction flyer than on almost any other print job, because these flyers live outdoors before they get read. The 70# uncoated text is the cheapest way to cover a neighborhood, and it is the right call for a high volume drop where the flyer is read once and binned, but it goes limp fast in humidity and it will not survive a wet doorstep. The 100# gloss and silk texts hold up better and keep a before and after photo sharp. For anything that has to last, move to a cover weight: the 80# gloss cover, the 100# silk cover, the 14pt gloss cover or the 14pt uncoated recycled cover all stay flat on a truck dash through a summer without curling, and they are the ones to use for counter stacks at a supply house and for flyers you staple to an estimate. Add the High Gloss UV Coating and the sheet sheds a light rain and a dusty glovebox instead of soaking it up. Keep the uncoated stocks for the flyers your crew writes a quote or a callback number on, since coated stock will not take a pen.

How Do Construction Flyers Compare to the Rest of the Range

Construction flyers are the value pick for canvassing on price and volume. For a promo sheet for an open house or a thicker premium leave-behind, the chart below lines up construction flyers against their closest siblings, like Event Flyers and Club Flyers, so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

The flyers in the gallery below were printed in-house for our customers, across different sizes, stocks and finishes. Check how a job photo holds up at handbill size before you commit to the 4.25" x 5.5". Tap any print to see it larger.

How Fast Can You Get Construction Flyers

Construction flyers print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when a bid is due or a weekend job just landed you can move that to 2-day, next-day or even same-day production. Each step buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Same-day orders need to be approved by the daily cutoff to ship that day. Compare every turnaround tier below and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick, and read how same day printing works before your next deadline. After a storm, the flyers only help while the damage is fresh, so that is the week the faster tiers pay for themselves.

Construction flyers are one stop in a much larger lineup, and you can scan the full print product range any time. If a folded sheet, a die-cut shape or a different trade flyer would serve you better, open it from the lineup to see its own starting price.

Print the rest of the kit with the same artwork: construction signs for the jobsite and the yard, contractor business cards to leave at the door with an estimate, and every size and stock at flyer printing.
