If you're a contractor, you've been there—chasing down late payments, dealing with unreasonable clients, or discovering too late that someone has a reputation for stiffing tradespeople. You put in the hard work, meet deadlines, and go the extra mile, but some clients still end up costing you more than they're worth. That's exactly why Contractors Collect was created.

We’re a new platform built by tradespeople, for tradespeople—because we’ve seen the same problems repeat themselves across the lawn care, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and remodeling industries (just to name a few). The idea is simple: help contractors avoid bad clients before the job even starts.

What Is Contractors Collect?

Contractors Collect is a web-based, subscription service that allows contractors to:

🔎 Look up potential clients before taking a job🛑 Flag clients who are known for nonpayment, abuse, or unreasonable demands🤝 Share experiences with others in your trade (or nearby trades)💡 Make smarter decisions that protect your time, money, and peace of mind

We’re building a powerful, easy-to-use database of red flags—and giving hardworking contractors a place to have each other’s backs. It’s not about bashing clients; it’s about protecting your livelihood and learning from each other’s experiences.

Who Is It For?

If you're a solo operator or run a small to mid-sized crew, this is made for you. Whether you mow lawns, lay concrete, install HVAC, build fences, paint houses, or anything in between—Contractors Collect helps level the playing field.

You don’t have a big legal team or collections department. You’ve got a truck, tools, and talent—and that should be enough. Contractors Collect gives you an extra layer of protection that’s long overdue in this industry.

Why It Matters

Word of mouth is great—until it’s too late. We’ve all heard horror stories, but wouldn’t it be better to check before you sign? Our goal is to make your business more profitable, more efficient, and less stressful by helping you avoid the clients who kill margins and morale.

Because it’s not just about collecting money—it’s about collecting peace of mind.
