Challenge
What they needed
Their existing website listed services but was not optimized for the specific towns they serve across Dutchess County. The Google Business Profile had strong reviews but lacked structured service categories and regular updates. Potential customers searching for local contractors in nearby hamlets were not consistently seeing them in map results.
Solution
What we built
Vermillion rebuilt the site as a mobile-first experience with clear service pages for each trade, an estimate request form, and schema markup for local business. We claimed and optimized their Google Business Profile with accurate hours, service areas, photos and review responses. Local SEO work targeted the towns they actually serve so the business appears in map packs for Poughkeepsie, Arlington and surrounding communities. The client owns the site, code and admin access outright.
Results
What changed
The business now appears prominently in local searches for kitchen remodels, deck repairs and emergency services throughout their service area. Inbound calls and estimate requests increased from organic search and map listings. Customers report finding them easily and citing the clear service pages when they call. The profile stays current with fresh photos and review responses managed by the owner.

What their customers say
My husband and I have engaged Westside Building and Restoration on 2 major projects on our 1910 colonial house, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The first was the entire replacement of a partially collapsed plaster ceiling with sheet rock. The crew took such great care in their work--from the removal of furniture to the installation of the new ceiling and the repainting of both ceiling and walls. Three years later, our guest room continues to look fantastic, and we can rest at ease knowing the solid professional work that went into it. This year, a different team handled the replacement of our entire front porch deck, and they did an exceptional job. From the cement foundation to the new column bases, deck, and rails, to the new paint coat and trim, we love the care and craftsmanship that went into their work, thanks especially to Mike and Josh. And yet again, we're able to feel secure in the updates that have significantly improved the structural safety of our house. Alan and Paula bring experience, attention, and kindness when working with us, and their teams on our projects have done terrific work. This is a local business we can trust and would work with again. Highly recommend.
Westside recently removed an ice dam that had water leaking into our house. His team came quickly and removed the dam and ice. We then requested they further insulate our attic. They did a great job. They also installed roof heating wires to prevent further ice dams. Workers and owner Alan were very courteous and informed. I highly recommend this company.
I’m just getting around to writing this review because I’ve been enjoying my kitchen updates so much since the work was completed this past fall. Westside Building and Restoration did an excellent job from start to finish. The project included multiple kitchen updates, and the quality of the craftsmanship is evident every day. Everything was done with care, attention to detail, and a clear respect for my home. The crew was professional, reliable, and easy to have in the house. Communication throughout the project was strong, and the owner was especially pleasant and understanding when I requested a few unplanned changes along the way. Even with those changes, the job was completed ahead of schedule, which says a lot about how well the project was managed. Since the main project wrapped up, I’ve already called them back for smaller, odd jobs like fixing trim and stair rails, and the experience has been just as positive. It’s been great having a contractor I can trust and comfortably call back when things come up. I’ll absolutely be working with Westside Building and Restoration again and plan to have them back in the spring to paint my hallway. Highly recommend.
Our storm door recently nearly flew off the base due to strong winds in our area. My husband called and they sent a repairman within 24 hours. I was working, but could hear Mike set up and get to work. He was diligent and precise. I say this because the initial installation was done by Lowe's and it was done poorly. I wanted Mike and team to know not only did you repair our door but actually reworked someone's mess. EXCELLENT! We are very appreciative. Thank you so much.
Westside Building & Restoration exceeded my expectations. The quality of their work really stands out, and the crew was professional, punctual, and respectful of my space. Communication was smooth, and they made sure everything was clean before finishing. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable work.
