Helping residential contractors start, manage and grow successful businesses

How it started

Built from the questions contractors kept asking

After years of working with contractors, one thing became clear. They kept asking the same questions. They asked about licensing, insurance, compliance, marketing, payroll, legal issues and growth.

But there was no one trusted place to find the answers, the services and the experts. So we built one: The Contractors Resource Center.

Today we're growing a national platform. We connect residential contractors with trusted information, practical business resources, private contractor communities and carefully selected partners.

What we do

Help at every stage of your business

We bring together education, insurance and bonds, our contractor community and trusted partners. You get help at every stage, from your first license to running an established company.

Private contractor communities

Our private Facebook groups bring together 180K+ contractors. They're for licensed and insured contractors. Members connect, learn, share ideas, promote their businesses and find trusted resources.

ContractorTV and the California Contractor Podcast

Educational interviews and practical guidance covering licensing, compliance, insurance, marketing, business management, and proven practices from the construction industry. For contractors across the U.S.

Educational resources

Articles, videos, business guides and expert interviews. They help you avoid costly mistakes and make informed decisions.

Why we do this

You deserve more than products. You deserve trusted guidance.

Every year, new contractors get licensed with the goal of building a successful business. Many are highly skilled at their trade. But it's hard to find reliable guidance on licensing, insurance, compliance, marketing, finance, hiring and running a business.

That's why The Contractors Resource Center exists. We help you make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes. We also connect you with resources that help you succeed for the long term.

“Will this help residential contractors build stronger, more successful businesses?”

The one question we ask about every resource we publish and every company we recommend.

Our goal is simple: be the first place residential contractors across the U.S. turn for insurance, bonds and straight answers about running their business. When contractors succeed, their employees, customers, partners and communities benefit too.

Kevin Leipsic

Kevin founded The Contractors Resource Center. He's an entrepreneur, a business development executive and an insurance advisor. He wants to help contractors build stronger businesses.

Before launching The Contractors Resource Center full-time, Kevin spent 15+ years building strategic partnerships, leading business development initiatives, and driving growth for both high-growth technology companies and established organizations.

That experience shaped the idea behind The Contractors Resource Center. He wanted one place for contractors to find trusted education and experienced pros. He also wanted carefully selected business services built for the construction industry.

Kevin also serves as an Insurance Advisor to the California Building Industry Association. He hosts ContractorTV on YouTube. There he interviews industry experts and shares practical tips to help contractors avoid costly mistakes.

The Contractors Resource Center is a proud member of NARI (the National Association of the Remodeling Industry) and the California Building Industry Association (CBIA).
