Our Story

Hello, thank you for visiting our website and taking a look at CONTRACTOR BOS.

My name is Derek and I started installing gutters way back in 1992. That same year, with a little borrowed money, I started Hydra-Flo Guttering. I really enjoy the Guttering Contracting business, and each day proves to be interesting and rewarding.

Not so rewarding were the many problems that accompany growth. It was frustrating to have more employees and be doing more jobs, but not have more money to show for the extra effort. It was disappointing to not consistently give our customers the level of service we had envisioned. There was too much chaos and crisis management. Perhaps worst of all, was knowing important decisions that needed to be made had no information to guide those decisions.

What became obvious was our need to incorporate the power of technology, and a system of operating that would give our customers a great experience, help manage all the daily processes and insure we actually make some money.

Problem is, while picking up materials at the gutter supply house there isn't a technology isle! General contractors and other trades have great products available to them, but our technology solution seemed to be making something work that wasn't designed for us. Since using software designed for other trades was going to be complicated, incomplete and expensive, we decided to design a mobile APP entirely for our niche industry.
