Run your entire contracting business from one system.
Stop juggling spreadsheets, sticky notes, QuickBooks, your scheduling app, and seven group texts. ContractorFlow connects every part of your business — leads, estimates, jobs, crews, materials, payroll, invoices, and profit — so you finally know what's happening.
Contractors don\'t lose money because they lack effort.
They lose money because information is scattered across spreadsheets, text messages, email, QuickBooks, the office whiteboard, and the foreman\'s head. ContractorFlow exists to fix one thing: you can\'t run a business you can\'t see.
The estimate that didn't become a job
You quoted it three weeks ago. Nobody followed up. The customer hired someone else last Thursday.
$8,400lost revenue / month
The invoice that never went out
The job finished six weeks ago. The crew moved on. The invoice is still a sticky note on someone's monitor.
$22,000sitting in AR > 60 days
The job you thought made money
You bid 32% margin. Labor ran long. Two change orders never got signed. Final margin: 4%. You found out at year-end.

The hour you can't prove
A crew member says they worked 9.5. The customer disputes. You have no GPS, no clock-in, no photo. You eat it.

The materials you bought twice
Foreman didn't know the joists were already at the yard. He bought them again. They're still sitting in the truck.

What ContractorFlow is
One system. Every part of your business. Connected.
Most contractor apps fix one slice — scheduling, or invoicing, or estimates. You end up with seven slices that don\'t talk to each other. ContractorFlow is built as one connected system from lead to profit.
From the first call to the final dollar of profit.
Every step inherits data from the last one. Estimates become jobs. Jobs become schedules. Schedules become labor hours. Labor hours become invoices. Invoices become profit. No re-entry. No reconciliation.
Six modules. One database. One login. Built so your sales team, your field crews, your bookkeeper, and your owner all see the same numbers in the same place.
Sales & Intake
Capture every lead. Quote every job. Close every proposal.
Know which jobs make money — before they\'re finished.
Most contractors find out a job lost money at year-end. By then it\'s nine other jobs too late. ContractorFlow tracks bid, committed cost, actual cost, and projected margin in real time, on every job, so you can catch the problem on day four — not month four.
Live margin per job
Bid vs. actuals updated every time someone clocks in or receives a PO.
Estimated cost-to-complete
Forecasts final margin so you know what the job will land at.
Variance alerts
Get pinged the moment labor hours, materials, or scope drift past threshold.
Change order discipline
No work continues until the change order is signed and added to the job.
Crew productivity
See which crews finish under estimate and which consistently run hot.
82% of budget consumed at 47% complete — ahead of schedule on cost.

Financial visibility
Stop running the business by checking the bank account on Monday.

The field talks to the office. Without a single text message.
Your crews don\'t need another app to ignore. ContractorFlow\'s field experience is designed for one tap, with gloves on, in the rain. Clock in, see today\'s job, log work, capture photos, sign change orders — and every action lands instantly in the office.

Material & equipment tracking
Every board, every fitting, every dollar — accounted for.
Material is usually the largest variable cost on a job. ContractorFlow connects your catalog, purchase orders, vendor bills, deliveries, and on-site usage into a single thread — so you know what was ordered, what was used, what came back, and what was wasted.
Live material catalog
Pricing, vendors, units, lead times — sourced from the vendors you actually buy from.
Purchase order workflow
Request from field, approve in office, send to vendor, receive on site.
Materials allocated per job
No more buying twice. No more rebar in the wrong truck.
Equipment + tool tracking
Who has it, where it is, when it's due for maintenance.
Capture every lead. Quote every job. Close every proposal.
The biggest hole in most contracting businesses isn\'t the work — it\'s the work that never happened. Estimates that didn\'t get followed up. Leads that didn\'t get a callback. Proposals that sat in someone\'s inbox until they hired the competition. ContractorFlow closes the holes.
Visual lead pipeline
Drag-and-drop kanban. Every lead has an owner and a next step.
Estimating from a catalog
Build a $40k bid in 15 minutes. Margin floors enforced.
Branded digital proposals
Customer opens, reads, signs, pays deposit — all from a phone.
Automated follow-up
Three-touch sequence by SMS + email. Stops the moment they respond.
Source attribution
Know whether Google, referrals, or your truck signs drive the most revenue.
Review generation

Contractors who run their business through ContractorFlow.
Not paid testimonials. Not stock photos. Real contractors who switched, what they fixed, what it cost them not to.
We replaced four tools and a stack of spreadsheets with ContractorFlow. We're closing the month four days faster and we finally know which jobs make money. The first month I saw real margin per job, I caught one I was breaking even on. Renegotiated and recovered $14k.

We were losing two estimates a week to slow follow-up. ContractorFlow's automated touches caught customers we would've ghosted. Our close rate went from 22% to 41% in the first quarter. I haven't had to ask 'did anyone get back to that guy?' once.

Side-by-side
One platform vs. seven half-platforms held together by sticky notes.
This is what most contractor operations actually look like today. Compare it to ContractorFlow — and ask yourself which one you\'re paying for in lost margin every month.
Six reasons contracting businesses leak margin — and what fixes each one.
None of these are personal. They\'re structural. Every contracting business that grows past 5 employees runs into them. ContractorFlow exists to fix all six in one place.
01
They underbid because they don't know their real costs.
Without job costing, last year's actual margin is a guess. So this year's bid is too. Most contractors bid the price the customer expects, not the price the work requires.
ContractorFlow fix
Live job costing → real historical margins → defensible bids.
02
They lose hours on the clock that never get billed.
Paper timesheets, group texts at end of week, "I think I worked nine," foreman reconstructs from memory. Multiply by 12 crew members. That's a salary.
ContractorFlow fix
GPS clock in → verified hours → costed to the job → paid → billed.
03
They buy material twice — sometimes three times.
Without a material allocation system, the field doesn't know what's already ordered, what's already on site, or what's in the truck. So they buy it again.
ContractorFlow fix
POs → allocations → receiving → field visibility = one purchase per item.
04
They invoice late and collect later.
Invoicing is "when I get to it." Aging is "I think Suzanne owes us." Collections is "someone should call her." 22% of contractor AR sits past 60 days.
ContractorFlow fix
Auto-trigger invoices on milestones → AR aging dashboards → automated reminders.
05
They take change-order work and forget to bill for it.
Owner says "while you're in there, can you also..." Crew does it. Nobody writes it up. Nobody signs it. Nobody bills it. The customer never expected to pay.
ContractorFlow fix
Field-signed change orders → automatically added to invoice → billed.
06
They can't see the business until the CPA shows up.
If your first look at real margin is at tax time, you can't fix anything. You're just reading the autopsy.
Honest answers. No marketing fog. If you have a question that isn\'t here, our team is on chat — staffed by people who\'ve actually run a contracting business, not a script.
Talk to a human
Most contractors get faster answers in a 20-minute live demo than reading a feature list. Pick a time that works.
Jobber and Housecall Pro are excellent service-CRM products built for residential service trades. ServiceTitan is a heavy enterprise platform for large HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies. ContractorFlow is a complete operating system built for general contractors, builders, remodelers, and growing trade businesses — including job costing, materials, payroll support, AR, and forward-looking cash flow that the service-CRMs don't handle. You don't need to bolt on QuickBooks for accounting or a separate estimating tool — it's all native.
Stop running your business by guess
Try ContractorFlow free for 30 days. Keep the margin you find.
Most contractors find $8,000 to $25,000 in leaked margin during their first month on the platform — before they ever pay us a dollar. The trial is 30 full days, every feature, no card required.
Built by people who\'ve run contracting businesses
Our founding team built and sold a $24M residential remodeling business before writing line one of code. ContractorFlow is the system we wished we had — built for people who actually swing the hammer or write the check.
