He then joined a construction company where his hands-on experience in running the business led to the development of JobTread, a platform designed to address the common challenges faced by contractors. “We built this thing out of a needs basis,” Eric explains, emphasizing the importance of understanding the problem to create effective solutions.
JobTread is not limited to roofing; it caters to various construction trades, from commercial builders to luxury remodelers. Eric highlights the platform’s flexibility, allowing contractors to customize processes and workflows to suit their specific needs.

Additionally, the platform offers extensive support, including dedicated customer success managers and a vibrant user community.
