Why We Founded Contractor Relief

As contractors, we know firsthand how challenging and rewarding this industry can be. We take pride in our work—building, creating, and transforming spaces—but we also know the frustration and financial strain that come when a client refuses to pay for completed work. Unpaid invoices don’t just affect the bottom line; they disrupt lives, impact families, and threaten the livelihood of hardworking tradespeople who are simply trying to provide for their loved ones.

The Toll of Unpaid Work

When a contractor completes a project, they’ve already invested significant resources—time, labor, and materials. When payment doesn’t come through, it creates a ripple effect:

• Strained Cash Flow: Contractors rely on payments to cover payroll, purchase materials, and keep their businesses running smoothly.

• Delayed Growth: Unpaid invoices limit the ability to take on new projects and expand operations.

• Personal Impact: Beyond business, unpaid work places stress on contractors and their families, making it harder to pay bills, cover expenses, and plan for the future.

A Solution Built by Contractors, for Contractors

We founded Contractor Relief because we’ve been in those tough situations ourselves. We know how disruptive a single unpaid invoice can be, and we wanted to create a simple, easy-to-understand solution that ensures contractors get paid for the work they’ve rightfully completed.
