Most tradesmen quietly lose tens of thousands a year to under-priced bids and unpaid work. Boaz builds you a custom app that plugs the leaks, makes sure you're actually profitable, and gets you paid — set up for you, one honest price.
Most contractors charge their hourly rate with no overhead or profit built in — and never see the money they're owed. Punch in your numbers:
Not a pile of tools — one connected system that runs the job from bid to bank.
Auto-adds overhead + profit and shows the "found money" you'd have missed. Win the job and the margin.
Lead → bid → won → invoice → paid. Change orders, proposals, follow-ups, photos — all in one place.
Snap a photo for an instant estimate, scan receipts, price materials, and answer your phone — built in.
Send clean invoices, take payment, and chase the unpaid balances automatically so nothing slips.
Goals, daily plans, and reminders that keep your business growing — not just surviving.
The whole app works in both languages, so your whole crew can use it. Tap to switch, anytime.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters."— Colossians 3:23
This is the standard I'm held to. I promise to work earnestly and diligently for you — not for my own sake, but in service of a purpose deeper than my own understanding. Honesty, integrity, and excellence aren't features here. They're the foundation.
"Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain."— Psalm 127:1
Every strong build starts with a stone set right. Boaz was a pillar of God's temple — "in him is strength" — and in Scripture, he was the businessman who made sure the worker was provided for and paid every measure he earned. That's the foundation we build your business on: strength that holds, and a fair shake for the hands that do the work.
Hi, I'm Ethan Ford — the founder of Boaz.
I was raised in San Diego, California — but really, I grew up on the job site. My father, my grandfather, and my great-grandfather all built their lives in the trades. My dad owns his own finished carpentry business, and from the time I was a kid I watched what honest, hard work actually looks like up close. Attention to detail. Showing up. Doing it right when no one's watching.
Those weren't things I taught myself — they were instilled in me, and I carry them today not by my own strength but by God's grace. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding." (Proverbs 3:5)
I've seen the sacrifice and sweat my family poured into blue-collar work — and how often hard-working tradesmen never see every dollar they've truly earned. So I made it my mission to build software that exposes the leaks, wins back your time, and makes sure you get paid for every ounce of work you put in.
It's just me — and that's on purpose. You're not passed off to a call center. You get one person who knows your business and stands behind the work personally.
