Can someone help me "balance" the colors in my website, something is just off about it..

I don't know if its because I've been staring at it going on 11 hours now, but something just doesn't seem right.

My main goal was to just get some content in there today, I still have a lot left to do, am changing the form so it looks better, but as far as the top goes, something about the colors just doesn't look quite professional.

Or MAYBE just something about the site in general doesn't look professional.

Our logo is going to the left of BBB, then under the 5 stars "click to see our google reviews", but something I think it may be the video frame, just doesn't fit right. Is it the gray around the video? Or is it really just all the padding that will be coming out anyway?

I'm trying to narrow it down to 2-3 main things I can focus on to make it look more professional. I just feel like its there but something is keeping me from crossing the "wow that looks incredible" line. Do I need to take our business name out maybe and do a word art form of our name? Make it look fancier?

Maybe its everything that needs to be slightly improved, because I seem to find something small off with everything it seems.

What do you guys think?

btw site will be moved to different url when done.

Thanks! - Red

ps. I will be making the banner flash, just the phone on the top right, it will slowly pulse getting brighter and darker and will be the only animated area on the site. Oh and thats NOT the video I'm using, just threw it in there temporarily.

    Yes, I think having the logo included would make it look more professional. I don't think changing the look of the name of your business would help, because the header is rather small. But possibly trying some different fonts would make it look better. The color scheme looks good and the site is easy to understand and easy to find all the necessary info about your services and credibility.

    Thanks! I stepped away to take a shower and when I came back I actually liked the way it looks.

    I think you are right a logo is really what it needs. I'm also going to work a bit more framing the video/form a little better.

    Than I think more reviews on the bottom right and after that I'll just work on the back pages. Then a bit further tweaking to tighten up/fill everything out. For my first paid website I just want to make sure it looks as good as it possibly can.

    Thanks for the objective feedback! - Red
