THE HARD CONTRACTOR REALITY

Designed around how jobs actually go sideways.

General software assumes every job is neat and predictable. Trade contractors know jobs get messy before lunch on Monday.

The Customer-Supplied Material Shield

Homeowner ordered bathroom vanity or luxury vinyl plank online to save a buck? If it arrives damaged, late, or missing screws, your crew is burning payroll. TrueBracket automatically attaches a legally drafted staging and work stoppage liability clause they must sign before you start.

Eliminates unpaid crew downtime

Twin Math: Markup vs True Gross Margin

Adding 25% markup onto a $10,000 job gives you $12,500. But your actual gross margin is only 20%. That misunderstanding bleeds thousands of dollars every quarter. TrueBracket calculates both simultaneously so your quotes protect real take-home cash.

Never quote at a loss again

Zero-App Customer Portal with Unguessable Tokens

Clients hate creating passwords, verifying emails, and downloading bloated 200MB contractor apps. TrueBracket gives each job a 12-character high-entropy secure link. They tap the SMS link, inspect the quote, tap to sign, or print the receipt right in their browser.

98% same-day client signoff rate

Role-Protected Field Foremen Logins

Your lead carpenter or site foreman can log crew hours, log deliveries, and snap Home Depot receipts right from the truck. But TrueBracket automatically hides your company profit margin, job markup, and worker hourly pay rates from their view.

Empowers crew while keeping numbers private

No Mandatory Invoice Handcuffs

Traditional software forces you to generate a 6-step formal invoice just to record a $450 porch repair cash payment. TrueBracket allows direct field payment recording with printable customer receipts so you can get paid, log the cash, and move to the next job.

Built for small repairs and big contracts alike

Time-Stamped Photo Log with Customer Toggles

Document site conditions before teardown, capture material delivery flaws before signing the freight ticket, and catalog progress. Mark specific photos customer-visible or keep them internal for dispute defense and lien backup.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked by working trade contractors.

Does the homeowner have to download an app or create an account?

No. Homeowners do not want to download another app or remember a password. TrueBracket generates a cryptographically secure, unguessable 12-character link. You text or email them the link, and they review the quote, photos, or agreement directly in Safari or Chrome on their phone with 1-tap signing.

Can my site foremen or sub-contractors see my profit margins and rates?

Never. TrueBracket features role-based access control. When Carlos (Foreman) or Devon (Carpenter) logs in, they can view site addresses, log work hours, and upload photos. Company markup percentages, gross margin totals, and employee wage rates are completely locked out from non-owner accounts.

What happens when my crew has zero cell service in a rural basement?

TrueBracket is built local-first. All data is saved instantly to local browser device storage. You can create jobs, log crew hours, and record change orders completely offline. When your phone reconnects to cell towers or Wi-Fi, changes debounce-sync directly to the Supabase cloud database automatically.

Can I export my data for my accountant and bookkeeper?

Yes. You own 100% of your data. In one click, you can export full CSV timesheets, customer rosters, and complete JSON database snapshots for QuickBooks or your CPA at any time. We never hold your business records hostage.

How does the Split-Material Responsibility Agreement protect me?

Homeowners frequently buy their own finish materials (tile, composite boards, faucets) from big-box stores to save money. If those materials arrive defective or late, contractors usually end up eating unpaid downtime. TrueBracket's automated clause establishes who stages the goods, who pays standby labor rates ($95/hr) if work is halted, and disclaims manufacturer defect liability before you swing a hammer.
