What Contractor Accelerator does

Contractor Accelerator is a U.S.-based, privately held vertical SaaS company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Lee's Summit, Missouri (Kansas City metropolitan area). The company operates under the legal entity Accelerated Development Group, LLC and serves small and mid-sized residential repair contractors across six primary verticals: foundation repair; fencing, staining and decks; flooring, carpet and coatings; landscape and irrigation; painting, drywall and remodeling; and roofing, windows and exteriors. Its cloud-based platform consolidates the full contractor workflow — CRM, appointment scheduling, industry-specific 2D digital drawings, professional bid creation, digital signatures, payments (credit card and ACH), consumer financing, project pipeline management, and business reporting — into a single product accessible from any browser. The platform runs on Amazon Web Services, integrates natively with Google Maps, Google Calendar, and QuickBooks Online via OAuth 2.0, and uses an independently certified third-party processor for PCI-compliant payment handling. Reported operational performance includes 99.99% uptime.

The product is sold exclusively through direct digital channels via contractoraccelerator.com using a self-serve SaaS model (free trial with a Setup Wizard enabling ~30-minute onboarding) supplemented by sales-assisted conversion through Customer Success Managers. Pricing is published in four flat-fee monthly subscription tiers based on user count — Starter ($179/mo annual, $199/mo monthly, up to 4 users), Growth ($359/$399, up to 10 users), Professional ($629/$699, up to 20 users), and Enterprise ($899/$999, unlimited users) — with approximately 10% savings on annual billing. All features are included at every tier, eliminating per-module upsell complexity. Go-to-market leverages content marketing, vertical-specific SEO, customer case studies, social media, and partnerships with industry associations (American Fence Association, Basement Health Association, Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance, National Foundation Repair Association) and consultancies (Thornton Fence Consulting Group, Mr. Fence Academy) to drive qualified inbound and referral leads. The company is founder-led, bootstrapped (no funding rounds disclosed), and operates with a 11–50 employee band.
