What Contractors Are Saying

"DARES gave us visibility into job profitability we never had before. We discovered three projects we thought were profitable were actually losing money. Changed how we price jobs."

— Mike T., General Contractor, 15 projects/year

"Manual payroll used to take me 8 hours a month. Now DARES handles it in 30 minutes. That's 7.5 hours I get back to actually run my business."

— Sarah K., Commercial Builder

"The 1099 and COI tracking alone are worth it. Year-end used to be a nightmare. Now it's automated and accurate."

— James R., Subcontractor Network Manager

"We went from wondering where money was going to having complete visibility. Our profit margins are now 3% higher because we caught pricing problems."

— David L., Residential Construction
