Let’s be real — everybody has a “that one time” story.

Underbid a job? Trusted the wrong client or person?

What’s the most expensive (or painful) mistake you’ve ever made — and what did you learn from it?

Could’ve cost you time, money, sanity… or all three. We’re here to learn from each other (and maybe laugh a little too, we hope! ).

Drop yours

This space is for the contractors. All of you. Every trade. Every level of experience. If you're out there kicking ass on the job site, running your business, solving problems, and doing great work — this is your spot to connect with others doing the same.


We’re not here to sell you anything. No pitch, no gimmicks. We just wanted to build a space where contractors can actually connect with other contractors — ask questions, share wins, vent a little, and learn from each other along the way.


Whether you’re in roofing, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, landscaping, painting — whatever your trade is — you belong here.


And we want your feedback. This forum is something we’re building to bring real value to you. If there’s something that would make this space more useful, more fun, or more worth your time, let us know. You can post directly in the forum or shoot me an email: john.talman@companycam.com.


This community is for you. Let’s make it awesome.


— John + the CompanyCam crew

At CompanyCam, we want to provide real value to the amazing contractors we serve—because we think good contractors deserve way more recognition than they get.

You build things that last. You solve problems. You show up when it’s hard. And that deserves a spotlight.

That’s what the Good Contractor Podcast is all about: telling the real stories behind the job—what it took to get there, the lessons learned, and what keeps contractors like you pushing forward.

It connects contractors from across the country and the world—because hearing someone else’s story can remind you that you’re not alone. You hear a guest share something that happened to them and think, “Man, I thought I was the only one”

That sense of connection? That’s what this community is about, too.

It’s honest, unfiltered, and built for the people who do the work. No fluff, no B.S.—just real stories from real contractors who’ve built, struggled, learned, and come out better for it.

We’ve added a new way to help you save time and maintain consistency in your documentation: Page Templates are now available in CompanyCam.

If you’ve been building the same Pages repeatedly for client updates, site reports, or job summaries, you can now turn those into reusable Templates. Build once, apply it whenever you need it.

Here’s what you can do with Page Templates and what’s new:
