Getting started

What is an AI operating system for contractors?An AI operating system for contractors is a single platform where AI employees run the office work — answering leads, drafting estimates, scheduling crews, chasing invoices and reporting on margin — against one shared set of company data. Traditional contractor software records what already happened and waits for a person to act; an AI operating system acts first and routes the result to a human for approval.
How long does it take to get set up?Most contractors are live in under two weeks. Setup imports your customers, jobs, price book and open invoices, starts the AI team in approval-only mode, and then widens permissions one capability at a time. There is no implementation fee.
Does ContractorPro integrate with QuickBooks and my existing tools?Yes. ContractorPro.io connects email, Google Calendar, Google Business Profile, Microsoft 365, Slack, Stripe, QuickBooks, HubSpot, social accounts, webhooks and custom REST APIs, so you can keep the accounting and payment tools you already run.
What trades and industries does ContractorPro support?ContractorPro.io supports general contracting, remodeling, roofing, concrete, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping and most home service businesses. The workflows are the same across trades — leads, estimates, schedules, jobs and invoices — while the price book and job templates are yours.

Buying

How much does ContractorPro.io cost?ContractorPro.io is priced per company, not per user: Starter is $199/month, Professional is $499/month, Business is $999/month, and Enterprise is custom. Every plan includes a free trial, has no setup fee, and can be cancelled at any time.
What is the best software for contractors in 2026?There is no single best contractor software — the right pick depends on where the bottleneck is. Choose scheduling-first tools like Jobber or Housecall Pro if booking and payments are the problem, project-first tools like Buildertrend if document and schedule control is the problem, and an AI operating system like ContractorPro.io if the office work itself is the bottleneck.

AI & automation

Can AI write construction estimates?Yes — AI can produce a priced, proposal-ready estimate in under a minute when it works from your own price book and past jobs. It handles line items, quantities, markup and the written proposal; the owner or estimator still reviews scope and approves the number before it leaves the business.
Will AI replace my office staff?No — it replaces administrative work, not judgment. AI employees absorb the repetitive office tasks (answering leads, drafting estimates, sending invoices, chasing payments), and most companies redeploy office staff into customer relationships and field support rather than cutting them.
Do the AI employees take actions, or only make suggestions?Both, and you decide which. Every AI employee has a permission level you set: it can draft work for a human to approve, or execute directly against your live data. Every action is logged and reversible.

Data & trust

Is my company data used to train AI models?No. Your data stays inside your own workspace, is encrypted in transit and at rest, is isolated by row-level security, and is never used to train shared models.
