Maxum Drywall: A Contractor Site That Wins Bigger Jobs
The site that makes a serious contractor look as good as their work.
What we set out to deliver
Clear objectives and deliverables that guided our work.
Julian’s crews do highrise, commercial, and residential drywall across the Greater Toronto Area, but the business had no web presence that matched the quality of the work. We built a fast, modern site that shows the portfolio, sorts work by sector, and turns visitors into estimate requests, with a careers pipeline to keep hiring ahead of demand.
Impact at a glance
Measurable outcomes that demonstrate the success of our work.
Where it all
started
In construction, the website is the first jobsite a general contractor sees. Maxum was competing for commercial and highrise drywall contracts with no online presence to prove scale or quality, losing credibility before the first call. They needed a site that loaded instantly, showed real project photography organized by sector, made requesting an estimate effortless, and doubled as a recruiting channel for the tradespeople a growing firm constantly needs.
Research & Strategy
We split the story by who is buying: general contractors sizing up highrise and commercial capability, and homeowners for residential. Each gets a clear path to an estimate.
Development & Engineering
A fast Next. js site with real project galleries, an estimate form and a careers form wired for the office to act on, and motion that feels premium without slowing the page.
UI/UX & Visual Design
Confident, construction-native design: big project photography, clear sector navigation, and trust signals that make a small firm read as a serious operator. .
Launch & Growth
Every page points to the same two actions, request an estimate or apply, so the site keeps the pipeline and the crew both full. .
See it in action
A bold, credible home that reads as a serious GTA contractor.
Metal stud framing, drywall, firestopping, and Level-5 finishing, clearly laid out.
A safety page that reassures the general contractors doing the hiring.

What our client says
The new site made us look like the size of company we actually are. General contractors take us seriously now, and estimate requests come straight to the office. It paid for itself on the first job it brought in.
