Operations platform
One operations platform for contractors and roofers
Shadow Projects builds custom operations platforms for owner-operated general contractors and roofers: your jobs, quotes, schedule and client updates in one place, in your branding, with automations tailored to how you run them.
Who is the operations platform for?
Owner-operated general contractors and roofers whose operation runs through the owner. If jobs run on a spreadsheet, a group text and tools that don’t talk to each other, and you’re the one who knows where every job stands, the platform puts it all in one place, so your crews and clients see what they need without calling you.
What does it bring together?
Your jobs, quotes, schedule and client updates, in one platform and in your branding:
Job board: every job, where it stands, at a glance.
Estimate pipeline: every open quote, with automatic follow-ups on the schedule you choose.
Client update links: clients see their job’s progress without calling you.
Crew week view: every crew sees their week without asking you.
It’s one login for the whole operation, and you can add people and crews without adding to a software bill.
What automations does it run?
Automations are tailored to how you run your jobs, so the platform follows your process, not a generic one. Quote follow-ups are one example: they go out on the schedule you choose. See quote follow-up automation.
How does a build work?
We talk. A free 20-minute call, no commitment. We look at how your jobs run now and show you the platform with a contractor’s jobs in it.
We build. You get a firm go-live date on the first call, and you review working milestones, not mockups.
You own it. When the build is paid in full, ownership of the code, IP and data transfers to you.
What do you own?
Everything we build for you. When the build is paid in full, ownership of the code, IP and data transfers to you. No license, no per-seat fees, no lock-in. Keep us for support or not; it’s yours either way.

Common questions
How is this different from Jobber, ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro?
Those are subscriptions you rent, usually priced by the number of users. We build a platform around how you run jobs, and when the build is paid in full, ownership of the code, IP and data transfers to you.
How long does a build take?
Simple tools can be working in about a week. Full platforms get a firm go-live date on the first call, and you review working milestones, not mockups.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what your operation needs, so there’s no one price. We can price the build as a project or work hourly, with no per-seat fees either way, and we go through it on the free 20-minute call. See how pricing works.
Do you stay on after launch?
If you want us. We can stay on for ongoing support, and the platform is yours either way.
What if we want more built later?
New modules and integrations are quoted as add-ons as your platform grows.
