The Office Arm

I run a contractor's office. Now I run yours.

I run bids and the back office for a general contractor in the South Bronx. That means pay apps on the first, certified payroll on public jobs, DOB NOW filings, and the Friday invoices.

Before that I ran restoration jobs for a SERVPRO franchise. Water losses, Xactimate estimates, insurance paperwork, the same office work under a different logo.

Every contractor I know does this paperwork at night or pays someone full time to do it. Neither is a good deal for a firm with eight people on the wall.

So I built the office I already run into a service. The forms are drafted by software I wrote for real jobs. A person, me or someone I trained, checks every line. You sign, we file.
