BUILT BY A ROOFER. STILL ROOFING. I'm Enrico Torres. After more than 25 years roofing in Pennsylvania, I'm still on the roof today. I built Construction Trades™ because I was tired of climbing off a roof only to spend my evenings writing estimates, creating contracts, chasing paperwork, and remembering follow-ups. I didn't build software looking for a problem. I built the tool I needed to run my own contracting business, and I still use it on my own jobs today. No monthly contracts. No unnecessary complexity. Just practical tools built for the trades. From one contractor to another, I hope Construction Trades™ helps you spend less time on paperwork and more time doing what you do best.
