THE AI BIBLE FOR CONTRACTORS
Most contractors focus on getting more leads, hiring more people, and growing revenue while ignoring the real bottleneck in the business: themselves.
Growing a home improvement business is hard enough without having every decision, question, approval, and problem eventually land back on your desk.
You can hire more people, add another software subscription, build another dashboard, improve your CRM, and create another process.
But somehow, everyone still ends up asking:
“What do you want me to do?”
The problem isn't that your business needs more software.
It's that you've become the operating system your business depends on.
In The AI Bible for Contractors, Navy veteran and ClearWave Water Solutions founder Justin Shoemaker shows contractors how to use AI to build five custom apps designed to remove everyday decisions from the owner's plate and create a business that can operate without everything running through them.
These aren't five more subscriptions to add to your monthly software bill.
They're systems built around the way your business actually operates.
Inside, you'll discover:
✔ How to build a Client Portal that keeps past customers connected while generating more reviews and referrals
✔ How to create an AI Chief Marketing Officer that helps manage campaigns, emails, social content, and daily marketing decisions
✔ How to build dedicated landing pages that turn paid traffic into leads instead of sending prospects to a generic homepage
✔ How to create an Inventory & Operations Hub that brings materials, jobs, purchase orders, and forecasting into one system
✔ How to build a CEO Email Triage System that separates the signal from the noise and gives you the information that actually needs your attention
✔ How to use the exact prompts, build order, and lessons Justin learned while creating these systems inside his own business
✔ How to follow a practical 90-day build plan that stacks each system on top of the last until all five are working together
Through real-world examples from his own experience building and scaling home improvement businesses, Justin shows you how to put AI to work without becoming a programmer or chasing every new tool that hits the market.
Because when fewer decisions depend on you, you finally have more time to make the decisions that actually grow the company.
You don't need another dashboard demanding your attention.
You need systems that give your attention back.
Does this sound familiar?
You’ve grown the business, but somehow every decision still comes back to you. Your team needs approvals, customers need answers, marketing needs direction, and operations need your attention. The bigger the company gets, the more decisions seem to pile onto your plate.
You’ve added software to make things easier, but now you’re managing the software too. CRMs, inventory tools, scheduling systems, email, marketing platforms, dashboards. Each one solves a piece of the problem, but you’re still the person connecting all the pieces and deciding what happens next.
You didn’t build a business just to become the one person it can’t run without. You want leads followed up with, customers taken care of, marketing moving, inventory organized, and important emails handled without personally carrying every step. You need systems that remove work and decisions from your plate instead of creating more things to manage.
If any of this sounds like you, join the waitlist.

Justin Shoemaker is a Navy veteran, CEO and Founder of ClearWave Water Solutions, and the host of the Harmony of Hustle podcast. He built ClearWave from the ground up into the number one premium water treatment company in Virginia — a seven-figure business holding premium margins in a market full of commodity competitors racing each other to the bottom on price.
Before ClearWave, Justin was the Sales Director at a fast-growing solar company where he took revenue from $600,000 to $25 million in 11 months. The systems thinking he developed there became the foundation for the 5 App Stack in this book. Over his career he has scaled teams from a handful of people to more than forty, and he has hired, fired, sold, installed, marketed, built, and rebuilt every part of a home improvement business.
He lives in Virginia with his family. He runs ClearWave from the field with his phone and a laptop in roughly equal measure. He believes the next generation of contractors will be defined by the systems they build while everyone else is still waiting to see how this plays out.
This is his first book.
