Mike & Dad's Hauling

It's free right now.

Totally fair, and here's the good part: the build itself is free. This is a founding showcase round. We're doing a few for local Oregon City businesses to launch our portfolio, so there's no cost to get the site. If you ever want us to keep hosting and maintaining it later that starts at $29/mo, but that's optional and only after you already have the site.

• → You're not paying to get it. We're building our local portfolio.
• → Hosting/upkeep later is optional, starting at $29/mo. Your call, cancel anytime.

No pressure. One question first.

No problem at all, I won't keep you. Can I ask one quick thing: is it that the timing's bad, or that you're happy with how you show up online right now? If you're set, I'll leave you be. If it's just timing, I can have my partner mock up what yours could look like, free, and you decide later.

• → Timing vs. genuinely set. If set, back off gracefully.
• → Offer a free mockup as a low-commitment next step.
• → Never argue. A clean no protects the brand for referrals.

Great, this doesn't replace them.

That's good to hear, having someone matters. This isn't about firing anyone. We're building a few free showcase sites and yours stood out. If what you have is working, keep it. If you're ever not thrilled with it, I can have my partner mock up a version, free, and you can compare with zero obligation.

• → Don't trash the current provider. Position as a free second option.
• → A free mockup lets them compare without switching.
• → If they're genuinely happy, respect it and move on.

Makes sense. Let me make it easy.

Of course, no rush. The easiest way to think about it is to actually see it: I can have my partner mock up what your site could look like, completely free, and send it over. Then you're deciding on something real instead of a pitch. If you like it, we finish it. If not, you've lost nothing. Want me to do that?

• → Turn 'think about it' into a concrete free mockup.
• → Deciding on a real mockup beats deciding on a promise.
• → Get a soft yes to the mockup, not the whole build.

Most do. Ours is a rebuild.

You'd be surprised how many people say that, and honestly your current site is part of why I'm calling. It works, but it's not doing your business justice. A modern site with a real before/after gallery, click-to-call, and a quote form turns nice photos into booked jobs. We're building a few free, and yours would make a strong before/after story. Want my partner to mock one up so you can compare side by side?

• → Having a site and having a good site are different things.
• → Name the specific gap you saw (broken builder, Google Sites, no gallery).
• → A side-by-side mockup makes the upgrade obvious.
• → Don't insult it. Frame it as 'doesn't do your work justice.'

Genuinely just portfolio.

Fair question. Genuinely, it's portfolio. We're new here and want real Oregon City work we can point to. All we ask is permission to feature it as a case study and a small 'site by Elevator Street' link in the footer. A review is welcome if you love it, but it's never required. That's it.

• → The ask is case-study permission + a footer credit.
• → A review is optional and never a condition (Google prohibits paid-for reviews).
• → We'd rather show real local work than talk about it.

That's the point. You do the work, we do the site.

That's exactly why this works for guys like you. You do the work, we do the website. We just need your logo, some job photos, and a few minutes of your time to look it over. That's the whole lift on your end. We handle the rest.

• → Their only job: logo, photos, a quick review.
• → We do everything technical.
• → Frame it as removing work, not adding it.
