Most marketing companies have never picked up a hammer. They sell you the same package they sell a dentist or a restaurant, and hope it sticks. They have no idea how to solve your feast and famine cycle. Craftsman Digital exists because contractors need better than that. It wasn't built by studying the trade from the outside — it was built by someone who lived the feast and famine cycle first, fixed it in his own business, then started fixing it for other contractors too.
Built by a contractor, for contractors. Guys who bid the job, swing the hammer or run the crew that does, and still answer calls after the sun goes down. The goal is to own a business that runs without you, not a job you can't quit that runs your life into the ground. Busy season, you're not so buried in the day-to-day that the next lead slips by. Slow season, the work keeps coming instead of you chasing it. Solo and want to stay that way, or finally ready to hire your first guy — the system grows with you either way, more room to grow without the growing pains that usually come with it.
More leads also means you get to pick the jobs worth taking and walk away from the ones that aren't — or finally charge what the work's worth instead of underbidding out of desperation just to keep something on the schedule.
You're not left guessing what needs your attention. New leads hit your email the second they come in, and every one is saved in one place, so nothing gets lost in the shuffle. Less to remember, less to hunt down. No checking your phone at your kid's baseball game. No lying awake wondering where the next job's coming from.
My name is Andrew, I'm a contractor and I know what it's like to have no work and no idea how to find it. I also know what it's like to be so slammed with work you let calls go unanswered. By the time you catch up, those leads are cold, and you're back chasing the work you let slip through the cracks.
I started at 25, broke, laid off, with four kids and a stay-at-home wife depending on me. I got my first customers going door to door. Over the next 15 years, I built three construction and home service businesses from scratch, in three different places. I've run a crew out of an office, owned a kitchen & bath showroom, and even worked completely solo out of a truck.
I've had no work and zero ad budget more than once, and still found work every time I needed it, one way or another. I figured out how to fix the bottlenecks in my own business. Then I noticed other contractors hit the exact same walls I had. That's why I started Craftsman Digital, so you don't have to figure it out the hard way like I did.
I still run a Kitchen & Bath company, but I don't have a crew anymore, and I only take on jobs when I want to. I plan on handing it off to my sons over the next few years, so my focus right now is on helping other craftsmen build a legacy worth passing on to their family like I am doing.
