You're great at the work. But keeping track of everything else?
Phone notes, napkins, truck dashboard... You've got client details scattered across 5 places. Good luck finding that quote you gave Johnson three weeks ago.
You quote 4 hours, spend 7, and still don't track it. You're probably undercharging your most time-consuming clients without knowing it.
That $2,000 bathroom job felt great until you counted travel time, callbacks, and material runs. Was it really worth it? You don't know.
Demo, rough-in, finish, punch list... You're juggling phases across 5 jobs and relying on memory. Something always falls through the cracks.
Just type naturally. Velvet Ledger figures out the rest — no forms, no menus, no learning curve.

Mike, a general contractor, tracked his jobs for 3 months. Kitchen remodels looked great on paper — $8K average. But after counting callbacks, material runs, and punch list time, his effective rate was $35/hour. His deck builds? $65/hour. He adjusted his focus and raised his kitchen prices.
