The Radio Pitchman. Check A Pro Joe. The voice home-service pros trust to make the phone ring.
I’ve spent 42 years behind a microphone. In 2005 I founded Check A Pro to connect homeowners with contractors I’ve personally vetted — and built direct-response radio programs that run in 28 major markets, putting the best home-service companies in America on the air until their phones ring. 755,859 homeowners served. 1,611 episodes recorded. One promise: we’ve checked them out — so check us out.
In the studio — where the last 42 years happened
🏠 For homeowners
Need a contractor you can actually trust? Every pro on Check A Pro has had licenses, insurance and references checked — and I’ve interviewed every owner personally. The referral is free.
🎤 For contractors
Long-form direct-response radio that educates 50+ homeowners until they call you — not 30-second spots. The method that took Tom Decker from one hour on one station to tripling his business in 12 months.
🎧 The podcasts
Contractors’ Stories — the lives behind great home-service companies, from Michael E. Gerber to Lance Bachmann. Plus The Radio Pitchman, where I teach the direct-response method itself.

Two shows. One mission: winners winning more.
