I built a marketing company for one reason: to put contractors first.

I spent years on the tools as an electrician — long days, physical work, managing jobs and customers and crews. It's the same problem every contractor I worked alongside was trying to solve: how do I keep the work coming in?

Most contractors I talk to are excellent at the work. They can wire a panel, plumb a stack, pour a driveway, frame a house, and do it better than anyone in their area. But when it comes to showing up online — looking like the established company they actually are, and turning the people searching for them into booked jobs — they're on their own, or worse, handed off to a generic agency that doesn't know their trade.

I saw the same gap everywhere I looked: skilled, honest contractors losing jobs to competitors with better marketing. And I watched the agencies they hired treat a plumber like a dentist, like a lawyer, like any other line on a spreadsheet.

I built Contractors Guild to be the partner those contractors actually need — one that came out of the trades, only works in the trades, studies how each one gets hired, and cares whether the work shows up. Not a package and a wave goodbye.
