The Problem
You're paying for 6 tools that don't talk to each other.
A typical $1M–$2M contractor spends $10,000–$17,000 a year on disconnected software. None of it has AI. None of it learns.

Built in the field
One stack. Every department. Zero chaos.
We build the operating layer that holds lead flow, estimates, scheduling, job documentation, billing, and follow-up in one system.
Painting, roofing, HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, electrical, and GC work all start the same way: diagnosis before prescription.
Operator-led
Built by contractors and developers who know the work, the waste, and the handoffs.
Live workflows
Real stacks built around estimates, dispatch, documentation, collections, and follow-up.
Workflow-first builds
We shape the stack to the workflow, not the other way around.
Fewer handoffs
Less copy-paste. Less chasing. More work moving without manual cleanup.
Built in real operations
Built by contractors and developers.
Andrew built and runs service businesses, saw the waste firsthand, then built the AI stack to remove it. Gables & Grove became the most automated painting company in the industry — stitching together software that was never designed for the trades. That frustration became the blueprint. Now we build the system that should have existed all along.
