LoadBearing is the CRM built specifically for roofing and exterior contractors who run the business and do the work themselves. It handles your leads, estimates, invoicing and payments in one place, so you keep the freedom that made you go solo in the first place.
Start Your Free 14-Day TrialMost software built for contractors assumes you're trying to build a huge multi-team operation. LoadBearing doesn't. It's built for the business you actually run: you do the work, you run the business, and you'd like to keep it that way without the admin eating the hours you built this for in the first place.
Build a professional estimate in minutes using your own saved prices, not a blank page every time. Send it, get it approved and e-signed on the spot, and watch it turn into an invoice automatically, without typing it all in again. Accept payment by card the moment the invoice goes out, instead of chasing a check for weeks.
Picture doing your quotes before dinner instead of after it. Or closing out the week's invoicing on a Friday afternoon instead of a Sunday night, so your Saturday actually belongs to you.
A weekly summary shows exactly what needs your attention: estimates that have gone quiet, invoices that are overdue, appointments coming up. Send an estimate and don't hear back? LoadBearing follows up on its own. An invoice goes unpaid? A reminder goes out without you lifting a finger.
You stop having to hold all of it in your head. The business keeps moving, even on the nights and weekends you already fought to keep for yourself.
Right now, a lead comes in, you quote it, and somewhere between the quote and getting paid, you're either re-typing the same details again or trying to remember where you left off. LoadBearing keeps it as one record from the first enquiry through to the final payment. The details from your intake form carry into the estimate. The approved, signed estimate turns straight into the invoice. You open one screen and it's all there.
You stop being the one holding it all together in your head or on scraps of paper. An evening off doesn't mean coming back to a mess the next morning.
Look at the ads most contractor software runs. They tend to tell the same story: hire more people, take on more jobs, grow into a bigger operation, and their software will help you get there. That's a good pitch for someone chasing that life. It might not be yours.
Built around crew schedules, team permissions and tools for managing people you may not employ.
Built for a one-person operation: you do the work, you run the business, and you want your time back.
Bryan McKinney
Founder, LoadBearing
Bryan is the founder of LoadBearing.
He built his own construction business from the ground up, and he knows what it takes to run leads, estimates, scheduling, invoicing and payments on your own. For a long time, that's exactly what he did, and he still gets on the roof himself today.
The workload eventually caught up with him.
He tried running the business on two different software programs, but they didn't talk to each other. He spent his evenings copying details from one into the other, paying close to $1,200 a month for the privilege, and still losing track of things in between.
It didn't save him time. It just gave him more work than he had before.
So he built the solution he actually needed: LoadBearing CRM.
One connected system that handles leads, estimates, invoicing and payments, without anything needing to be typed in twice. Built first for his own business, before anyone else ever touched it.
It's built specifically for someone running the business alone, so you can get back the hours that are rightfully yours and start running your business instead of it running you.
Within the first two weeks, you'll know if it's for you. You'll feel it the first time you leave the jobsite on time, or quote a job from your truck instead of at the kitchen table at ten at night. You'll finally have your evenings and weekends back, for your family, friends, or for doing nothing at all. Try LoadBearing free for 14 days now. You'll be amazed at the difference it makes to your work life.
Start Your Free 14-Day TrialYes, if you're the one running leads, quoting jobs, invoicing and getting paid, by yourself. LoadBearing includes everything a one-person operation needs: lead intake, estimating with e-signature, invoicing, Stripe payments, appointment scheduling and your BCB Live listing. It doesn't include team features like crew scheduling or subcontractor management, because those are built for a team you don't have.
A spreadsheet holds what you type into it. It doesn't tell you an estimate's gone quiet for a week, remind a client their invoice is overdue, or confirm tomorrow's appointment for you. LoadBearing does all three automatically, so nothing waits for you to remember to check.

It's built specifically for someone running the business alone: you get lead intake, estimating with e-signature, invoicing, Stripe payments and appointment scheduling, without paying for crew schedules or team tools you don't need. Most other contractor software is priced and built around a team. LoadBearing isn't.
