About Tooled Up Pro

Tooled Up Pro is an independent review site built by a contractor, for contractors and service business owners. We test and review the software and tools that help you run your business — honestly, with no fluff and no fake ratings.

Why This Site Exists

After 10+ years in construction — working as a general contractor, running a home service business, managing renovations, and serving as superintendent on custom home builds — I know firsthand how hard it is to pick the right software for your business.

Most review sites are written by people who've never swung a hammer, managed a crew, or chased down a late invoice. They compare feature lists without understanding what actually matters on a job site. Tooled Up Pro is different because the reviews come from someone who's lived it.

How We Review

Every review on this site is based on hands-on experience. We evaluate software based on what matters to service businesses:

• Ease of use — Can you learn it without a PhD in software?
• Field readiness — Does it work on a phone, on a job site, with dusty hands?
• Value for money — Is the pricing fair for a small crew?
• Support quality — When something breaks, does anyone answer?
• Real-world fit — Does it solve the problems you actually have?
