About TradeMade

Built by the people who did it.

Most software is written by people who have never run a crew. Ours is built by people who have done the work on roofs and at kitchen tables, and then scaled the company.

Who's building it

Hammer in hand. Hundreds of millions managed.

Most software is built by people who have never run a crew. Ours is built by someone who has done the work with his own hands, and who then led the growth of a solar company to more than $800 million a year.

  1. On the ground

    Driving the nail.

    Chris Garner started in construction at 18. More than 30 years in home improvement since: on roofs, in basements and at kitchen tables.

  2. Owner and operator

    Award-winning companies.

    He founded and ran award-winning home improvement and maintenance companies. He answered the phones, ran the crews and made payroll.

  3. In the air

    More than $800M a year.

    Then he went corporate, built a team of more than 500 people, and led the growth of a solar company to more than $800 million a year.

  4. Now

    Building what gets you there.

    He knows what it takes to go from driving a nail to a fully scalable operation. TradeMade builds the software for that whole road.

From the industry

What owners in the trade say about their software.

Said by owners and office managers in public trade forums. They are not our clients and do not endorse us.

They do nickel and dime you for every module you add on
Pest control
Every update breaks it more and their customer support is dumber than a box of rocks.
Pest control
Tech support unable to fix. I could go on.
Roofing
Getting this application off the ground has been a bear. The implementation left much to desire and it seems to be quite buggy.
Pest control
...just increased the price ... 50% on renewal and they haven't invested in the product at all.
Roofing
The learning curve is insane and the actual software is so outdated!

We build the opposite. No add-on modules. No renewal surprises. And when something breaks, the people who built it pick up the phone.
