For Contractors & Trades

Stop losing money between the estimate and the final invoice.

I help small contractors find where profit is leaking — unbilled change orders, messy job handoffs, slow estimates — and fix the process in 30 days.

Sound familiar?

Where the money goes.

01

Change orders happen in the field and never get billed.

02

Your phone rings all day because the crew can't move without you.

03

You don't know which jobs actually made money until tax time.

04

Estimates go out late and you lose bids you should have won.

05

Info gets lost between the sale, the office, and the crew.

What I fix

Three places profit leaks.

Change orders

Capture, price, and bill every change before the work is done.

Job handoff

A clean handoff from sale to office to crew so jobs start right.

Estimating and job costing

Faster estimates and knowing your margin on every job.

How it works

Three steps.

01

Leak check

Free · 20 minutes · by phone

We find out if there's a real leak worth fixing.

02

We find the leak, estimate what it's costing you, and map the fix. The $500 is credited toward the project if you start within 14 days.

03

The problem

The owner was scheduler, estimator, HR, and bookkeeper, running 24/7. Compliance gaps with DOR, L&I, and IRS. Insurance didn't match the work.

What changed

Compliance and insurance fixed. Contracts, change orders, scheduling, and payroll put on a real process. A foreman tier and an office manager hired and trained.

The result

25 hours a week freed from the owner's schedule in 60 days. Crew grew from 3 to 10, properly onboarded. 4× project capacity. The office manager runs daily operations.

Good fit

  • ✓ Owner-operated contractor or trade business
  • ✓ Doing real work and bringing in real revenue
  • ✓ The owner is the bottleneck

Not a fit

  • — Startups with no jobs yet
  • — Businesses looking for marketing or lead generation
