Susan Smith
Founder, Just for Contractors

Susan grew up in the trades. Her dad ran a tool and die shop with over 200 employees. Her husband is in the trades. Her three sons are a carpenter, an electrician, and a plumber. Most of their friends are tradespeople too.
She didn't choose this niche because it looked like a good market. The trades have been part of her entire life. She understands the pressure, the pride, and what it actually takes to run a trades business.

She started Just for Contractors because she kept seeing trades businesses doing excellent work and losing jobs to competitors with better websites and stronger Google listings. Good work deserves to be found. That's what this is about.
