Here’s a list of eight text messaging services besides Hatch for home improvement and remodeling companies.
Though not built specifically for the home remodeling industry, Avochato lets you chat with customers from a web-based platform that is set-up like an inbox.
Built for a number of industries, including home improvement, Chiirp is a texting platform with automation-building capabilities.
ContractorTexter is built to engage the leads that you buy from HomeAdvisor, AngiesList, etc. Every new lead gets an automatic text and responses go to your phone for follow-up texting.
Not built for home improvement, more thought of as a mass messaging tool (think school closure announcements via text). EZTexter can also be used for mass group business texting about specials. Think MailChimp for texting.
Marlimar is a messaging platform that is well-known in the home improvement industry. While it can be used to text with leads and customers, they also give you the ability to text reminders and blast customers.
Podium started as a very successful reviews platform and has recently transitioned into a texting tool. While more focused on non-home improvement industries, Podium can still be used for manual one-to-one texting for home services.
TextRequest is a text messaging platform built for tons of industries, including healthcare and auto. It is popularly used as a texting platform for reminders and text marketing.
ZipWhip is a well-known texting platform built for multiple industries, but specifically for retail and insurance. You can still use it for home improvement to text customers and leads in an email inbox-style format.
