After 2020, many tradespeople with trucks and tools decided to start renovation businesses. This surge squeezed margins, dried up the labor pool, and made leads scarce. Honest contractors realized they needed to upgrade their business skills, not just work harder. That’s where Contracting.com comes in. Known for helping contractors and businesses succeed, Contracting.com is a trusted partner for many.
Contracting.com assists both experienced and new contractors in growing their businesses to achieve significantly higher incomes while delivering high-quality work that exceeds customer expectations. They promote the philosophy of working smarter, not harder.
As a renowned consulting company in the contracting industry, Contracting.com combines hands-on experience with modern business strategies. Their system helps contractors avoid trial and error, find skilled employees quickly, and improve their operations by bringing on leader-level employees, aiming for business independence efficiently.
The founders, Amer Abu Shakra and Patrick Lalonde, bring extensive experience and unique vision to the table. They understand the challenges contractors face, from client management to project estimation and on-site setbacks.
Amer’s journey began at 17 under the mentorship of Michael Holley, a prominent contractor in Toronto. Holley’s mix of practical skills and business knowledge set him apart in the industry. Under Holley’s guidance, Amer learned the intricacies of running a successful contracting business. When Holley moved to Vancouver, he encouraged Amer to start his own business through the Student Works Management Program (SWMP), which provided mentorship and support for young entrepreneurs.
Despite initial challenges, Amer expanded his business to 8 employees in one summer. This growth brought new challenges, including the pressure to live up to his family’s sacrifices. During a vacation, Amer met Patrick Lalonde, an executive at SWMP and co-owner of a successful roofing franchise. Patrick’s expertise in growing and systemizing contracting businesses inspired Amer to make a bigger impact. Together, they founded Contracting.com with two main goals: helping North American contractors build self-sustaining businesses and continuously refining their systems through practical experience.
Since its inception, Contracting.com has worked with over 400 contractors, helping them transition from hands-on workers to business owners who can take time off while their businesses thrive. Their approach includes creating a professional online presence, optimizing hiring processes, and ensuring smooth operations. Success stories of numerous clients highlight how Contracting.com has transformed lives and businesses, reducing work hours, increasing profits, securing significant contracts, and boosting local reputations.
