Why I built this.
When I got out of the Army, I did what a lot of guys do — I got into contracting. I built a high-volume roofing company from the ground up. And like every contractor, I learned the hard way that being great at the work isn't enough.
I was on roofs all day. My phone was blowing up. Leads were coming in and falling through the cracks because I couldn't get back to everyone fast enough. I was sending estimates that never got followed up on. I had happy customers who never left reviews. I was working 14-hour days and still felt like I was behind.
Then I started building automations — systems that would respond to missed calls, follow up on quotes, ask for reviews, and keep everything organized without me having to think about it.
That last part mattered more than I expected. I'm married with four boys. Missing dinner, missing weekends, missing their games — that wasn't why I started my own business. I started it for freedom. And automation is what actually gave me that freedom.
I started sharing what I built with other contractors. The reaction was always the same: "I need this." So I stopped just building it for myself and started building it for everyone in the trades.
That's Autopilot. It's not some tech company trying to sell you software you don't understand. It's a contractor who's been where you are, building the exact system he wished he had when he was the one on the roof.
