About Us
Its About the Why
A few years back, I was running a young contracting company when we landed what seemed like a “dream” client — a large, national property management company. They hired us to maintain three of their big apartment complexes. At first, it felt like we had made it. 🙌
But then...
🕰️ The payments slowed.
📋 The requests kept growing.
🥕 And the promises? Just a big carrot on a stick.
By the time we realized how bad it was, they were 60 days late and owed us $19,000. We nearly went bankrupt. I promised myself: I’ll do whatever I can to make sure this never happens to another contractor.
That’s why I built Contractors Collect — a network where tradespeople warn each other about clients who don’t pay, ghost on invoices, or run crews into the ground with unreasonable demands.
Our Why
That’s why I created Contractors Collect — to help hardworking tradespeople like you identify red-flag clients before they cost you time, money, and sanity. Whether it’s non-payment, repeated cancellations, abusive behavior, or unrealistic expectations, these situations can drain your resources and damage your business. Contractors Collect gives you the tools and shared knowledge to protect your livelihood, make informed decisions, and focus on doing the work you’re great at — without the constant worry of getting burned.
