The Real Problem

Every Year You Tell Yourself This Will Be the Year Things Change.

You're doing $3 million, $5 million, maybe $7 million a year. That number's been the same for the last two or three years. And every year you tell yourself this will be the year you break through. But it never happens.

You're still the first one on the jobsite and the last one to leave. Still answering calls at 9pm about a sub who didn't show. Still the only person who knows how the estimating works, how the billing works, how the scheduling works. Your phone is the company's central nervous system.

The bottleneck trap. Every decision runs through you. If you get sick for a week, the business slows down. If you take a vacation, you spend half of it on the phone. You built a job, not a company.

Crew chaos. You hire when you're desperate, which means you hire wrong. Good people leave because there's no growth path, no clear roles, no accountability system. You've lost count of how many foremen you've trained who walked out the door.

Flying blind on the money. Too many contractors have no idea what they make in a given year until the year closes out. That's not a quote from a textbook. That's a direct quote from Derek Rolison, a roofing contractor and Golden Hard Hat member. He learned it the hard way.

The builder's curse. 60-hour weeks. Missed dinners. Missed games. Your family knows what your truck looks like pulling out of the driveway at 5:30am. They're less sure what you look like at the dinner table.

More revenue made it worse, not better. You thought hitting $5M would fix things. It didn't. You just have more jobs, more crews, more fires. The hamster wheel got bigger and faster, but you're still the one running it.

A contractor doing $5M a year at 60 hours a week earns an effective rate of about $80/hour. That's less than some of the subs you're paying. And you're the one carrying all the risk.

The problem isn't effort. You've never lacked effort. The problem is that nobody taught you how to build a business that works without you running every piece of it. The trades trained you to be the best builder. They never taught you the business side.

The Solution

There Is a Framework for This.
And a Real Contractor Built It.

Henry Goudreau spent 40 years in the trades. He built his own construction company in Boston, used the system he now teaches to scale it, earned a spot on the Engineering News-Record Top 400 Contractors in America list, and sold the company in 1991.

Then he spent the next 30 years building a framework specifically for contractors like you. Not adapted from an MBA textbook. Not borrowed from a tech startup playbook. Built from inside a contracting business, for contracting businesses, using the vocabulary you already speak: markup, job costing, bonds, crews, subs, volume.

He calls it the Street-Smart Structural System. S3.

Pillar 1

Structure

Install roles, responsibilities, accountability, and a communication rhythm so your business has a spine. Your crew knows what they own. Your foremen make decisions without calling you. You stop being the single point of failure.

Pillar 2

Systems

Build the financial, estimating, job-costing, and production-control systems that move work through your business predictably. You know your numbers monthly, not yearly. You know which jobs make money and which ones bleed before it's too late.

Pillar 3

Sustainability

Develop your team's capability, decision-making authority, and financial controls so the business survives and grows without your constant intervention. You build a company someone would actually buy someday.

Henry's 2% Rule: the exercise that pays for the program in weeks.

In your first weeks working with Henry, he walks you through a simple three-lever adjustment. Three small changes to how you price, what you spend, and where money leaks. The result: 6% straight to your bottom line.

On a $5M business, that's $300,000 in additional annual profit. Most contractors find they can do far more than 2% once Henry shows them where the money is actually going.

The 2% Rule is just one exercise inside S3. Henry shows you exactly how it works on your Business Evaluation call.

Who Is Henry Goudreau

A Contractor Who Built It, Sold It, and Spent 30 Years Teaching Others How

Henry didn't come out of a business school. He came out of the trades.

He started as a contractor. Built his own construction company in Boston. Hit the same ceiling his clients hit now. Same 60-hour weeks. Same business that couldn't grow without him running every piece of it. So he built the structure that let it grow. The company took off, earned a spot on Engineering News-Record's Top 400 Contractors in America list, and sold in 1991. Then he asked himself a question: what if I could teach other contractors what took me decades to figure out?

That was 30 years ago.

Since then, Henry has coached over 400 contractors across every trade you can name. Commercial general contractors, roofers, remodelers, tower site developers, fine woodworkers. His system works because it fixes how the business is structured, not how the work is done.

He still runs every coaching session personally. No team of junior coaches, no group calls, no community forum. When you work with Henry, you work with Henry.

Real Contractors. Real Results.

Don't Take Our Word for It. Hear From the Contractors Who Did the Work.

"I reached out to Henry because I felt I was spinning my wheels every year. 60 hours a week, and not a lot to show for it. We were always around the $3M volume each year and just could not grow. I invested in Henry and yes at first it was hard to put that kind of money out not knowing if this program would work for me.

Henry constantly met with me, gave me a lot of homework, made me accountable to do it, and got me organized in such a way that I was now running the company and the company was not running me.

We now have an organization that all our employees know their roles, perform well at them, and are accountable. We will do over $30M in volume this year with record profits. We have a large client base and can bond $8M per job and $25M overall.

I do not have to work crazy hours, I work my 40. I spend more time vacationing knowing the organization can run without me.

In 8 years I went from $3M to $30M and you can do it also with Henry."

Shawn Casey

S. A. Casey Construction -- Commercial General Contractor -- Golden Hard Hat Member

$3M to $30M in 8 years. 60-hour weeks to 40-hour weeks. Vacations without checking in.

"Henry at Contractor Coaching changed my business and life. In 2017 I unfortunately encountered some medical problems that derailed me from working in the field. Business, up until this point consisted of myself, a pickup truck, my tools, and a pool of subcontractors. I contemplated throwing in the towel due to the circumstances and stress but refused to entertain getting a job as I knew that was not the path for me. More importantly I have more time to spend with my family which is the most important thing I have gained. I cannot thank Henry enough and trust him with my life. I went from surviving to being able to dream again."

Rob O'Neil

O'Neil Industries Inc. -- Luxury Remodeling Contractor -- Golden Hard Hat Member

Solo operator to thriving business owner. From surviving to dreaming again.

"When I was at the lowest point financially Henry taught me how to set up accounts, mark-up jobs properly, get rid of things that didn't work, and focus properly on things that were working. Within one year I was making a profit and was understanding how to actually run a business. I truly believe that if it was not for Henry I would not be in business today. Thank you."

Michael Forteberry

Forteberry Roofing Co -- Residential and Commercial Roofing Contractor -- Golden Hard Hat Member

Lowest financial point to profitable in one year. "I would not be in business today."

"Henry's expertise and knowledge of operating a construction related business has been invaluable to me and my company. Follow the money/numbers is what Henry makes you do, and despite the challenge sometimes, that is the only way to be successful. Too many contractors have no idea what they make in a given year until the year closes out. Henry makes sure you are tracking these numbers monthly and making necessary adjustments along the way to reach your goals."

Derek Rolison

Lakeland Exteriors and Roofing -- Residential and Commercial Roofing Contractor -- Golden Hard Hat Member

From flying blind to monthly financial tracking. "The only way to be successful."

"Henry has been a mentor and guide to me for over 25 years. I know he is always looking out for my best interest. My interaction with Henry has been a vital part of our success. I highly recommend Henry to anyone who wants to learn how to succeed."

John Hemphill

Hemphill LLC -- Tower Site Development and Real Estate -- Golden Hard Hat Member

25 years with Henry. A vital part of their success.

  • ✓ You own a contracting business doing $1M to $10M in annual volume
  • ✓ You've been stuck at or near the same revenue for 2 or more years
  • ✓ You're working 50-60+ hours a week and the business can't function without you
  • ✓ You're ready to commit to a year of structured work: attend calls, do the homework, provide your financials
  • ✓ You want 1:1 mentorship with someone who built and sold a real construction company

This is NOT for you if:

  • × You're not willing to open your books and follow the numbers
  • × You want overnight results without changing how your business operates
  • × You're an employee, not an owner
  • × You're outside the United States

Questions Contractors Ask Before They Call

That's exactly why the Business Evaluation exists. Before you spend a dollar, Henry runs a 35-question diagnostic on your business. The same one he's used for 30 years. You'll see, in your own numbers, exactly how much money is leaking out of your business right now. Then you decide based on the math. Not faith, not a sales pitch. The math. And in your first weeks, Henry walks you through his 2% Rule. Three small adjustments. On a $5M business, it puts $300K back on your bottom line. He'll show you exactly how it works on the call.

Henry built his own construction company in Boston. He used the Street-Smart Structural System to scale it, earned a spot on the ENR Top 400 Contractors in America list, and sold the company in 1991. He's coached 400+ contractors over the 30 years since. He talks in markup, bonds, crews, subs, and job costing because that's the language he grew up speaking. The Street-Smart Structural System was built from inside a contracting business, for contracting businesses. Not adapted from an MBA textbook.

Henry's clients span commercial general contracting (Shawn Casey), luxury remodeling (Rob O'Neil), residential and commercial roofing (Derek Rolison, Michael Forteberry), fine woodworking (Michael Meyer), and tower site development (John Hemphill). S3 fixes how the business is structured, not how the work is done. If you run a crew, bid jobs, manage subs, and do payroll, this works for your trade.

The whole point of S3 is to give you time back. "I do not have to work crazy hours, I work my 40." That's a direct quote from Shawn Casey. Henry's scheduled weekly calls and email access between sessions mean there are no rigid schedules that don't fit your jobsite life. And the first thing S3 installs is the structure that stops you from being the bottleneck on every decision.

Henry holds you accountable. Weekly calls. Homework. Financial reviews. "Henry constantly met with me, gave me a lot of homework, made me accountable to do it." That's Shawn Casey again. This isn't a program you can put on a shelf. Henry makes sure you do the work.

How It Works

Three Steps to Get Started

Book Your Free Business Evaluation

Pick a time on Henry's calendar. The evaluation takes about an hour. No cost. No commitment.

2

Henry Shows You the Numbers

Henry runs his 35-question diagnostic on your business. You'll see exactly where money is leaking, how much you're leaving on the table, and where the structure is missing. You walk away with a clear picture of your business whether or not you decide to move forward.

3

Start the Street-Smart Structural System

If the numbers make sense and the fit is right, you begin S3. Henry's 2% Rule puts money back on your bottom line in the first weeks. The weekly 1:1 mentorship builds the structure, systems, and sustainability your business needs to grow without depending on you.

You Want Two Things: Your Time Back and Real Growth.

You're doing the revenue. You're putting in the hours. But the business still depends on you for everything, and the number hasn't moved in years.

Shawn Casey got both. $3M to $30M in revenue. 60-hour weeks down to 40. Vacations where the company runs without him.

Rob O'Neil got both. From a solo operator with a pickup truck to a thriving business with time for his family.

The 2% Rule puts money back on your bottom line in the first weeks. S3 builds the structure that gives you your time back and clears the path to grow past the number you've been stuck at.

The Business Evaluation shows you the math before you spend a dollar. Then you decide.
